Drew Brees is carving the the bird and Coach

Each of them leaving what would be defined as a Group of Six Conference to go to a Power 5 Conference or the NFL. Smith and Strong fired less than five years later and Petrino is fired by school where he was the winningest coach in history after one losing season. FYI, in the last 70 years one Purdue football or basketball coach voluntarily left to take a job elsewhere. Lee Rose spent two years as Head basketball coach 38 years ago, went to a FInal Four and left for South Florida where he lasted six years and never was a head coach again.

That's a lot of typing to dodge the subject.
 
JL Smith wasn't going anywhere before he left in the middle of our bowl game fot Michigan St, Petrino wasn't going anywhere before he bolted for the Falcons, and Charlie Strong wasn't “cut like that” right before he took the job at Texas. So take what a coach says for what it's worth and then wait and see what he actually does. We've been there. The Boils haven't ever had a coach any other school wanted, so this is a new experience.

Other schools don’t hire away average coaches and that’s what purdoo’s history is littered with.
