Not sure if there is more to it but on the surface it's real simple... Illinois is a better job, has more potential and is the flagship school in its state. In the state of Indiana Purdue is #3 in prestige after IndianaU and Notre Dame and that will never change. Purdue can be good but it will never become a top choice for kids. In the BigTen it has the least potential for success.

Pigeonholing a program can be erroneous. In other words, never say never... Arkansas wasn't exactly a powerhouse in cc/track until John McDonnell came to town. It can happen.

Agreed but understand for Purdue to become a power they would need someone very special to come in there and some things out of the coaches control would have to change. For Arkansas' rise they had John McDonnell who, stating the obvious, is is a legend. A lot went into Arkansas becoming what it was and in some ways still is. Purdue has good facilities and enough money to be good. They don't have enough money to hire a big time proven staff though. As big as their basketball program is they almost lost Matt Painter because he didn't think the resources were good enough for his program to get better. Purdue has to hire assistants with potential who badly want to have a shot in a major conference. They don't have 65-80,000+ salaries for five assistants like some major programs. What they also lack is prestige compared to those who they directly compete (and recruit) against. They also, unlike Arkansas, can't get anyone and everyone into school. They also have to deal with a surging IndianaU program and a consistently good and prestigious Notre Dame within their own state borders. There is nothing holding Purdue back that they can't overcome but they face some challenges. At least 40 or 50 (non scientifically determined stat) programs have an easier road to the top than Purdue. I think Illinois is one of those. That being said the way Illinois is operating right now only makes it a marginally better job. If Illinois took advantage of its potential it would be a powerhouse.

Not worth panicking. Most likely the new coach will be happy to have you. Just come in and support the new system and make yourself an asset.

With distance positions still open at big schools like Ohio State, North Carolina, Purdue, Iowa State it really also screws the schools their new coaches came from.

There is too much hate on this board. Just because you did not get hired for the job or do not like the coach that did does not mean they will not do a great job. There are many young up and coming coaches out in the ranks that are about to prove you haters all wrong.

I would think that would be for Stephen Walsh's spot. He went to Hartford as new Head Coach
