[NU Sports] Tiller on the way out at Purdue?

[Jeff Beamsley]

No love lost of OSU here.

It is always interesting to see how dominant OSU is in October and November
and how helpless they become in January.  

Michigan was the only BT team that really had a dominant performance.  It is
something that we have remember as NU fans too.  When a team with the
recruiting strength of Michigan has problems because of injuries, we pretty
much have to expect that BT championships for NU are only going to happen in
those seasons when the team stays healthy.

Would have been interesting to see how the Michigan team that played in
Orlando would have done in November in Columbus.

Also kind of a slap in the face to Tiller and his assistants ... if it goes
through, that should make for some interesting staff meetings next year!

Could be an interesting turnover of coaches in the coming years ... Iowa and
Purdue have seemed ripe for change for awhile, the Zooker could be gone soon
by bigger offers if his success continues or Neuheiseled out if rumors prove
true, Indiana's in a tough spot (kind of like West Virginia this year or
Miami with Coker) where they almost had to sign the assistant but that could
pan out and, of course, there's always the question of when JoePa steps down.
Personally, I hope he waits Bobby out and then gets whatever he needs to make
sure Bowden is not #1 in victories.

I think Rodriguez will be good for Michigan after the initial adjustment, and
Dantonio could be dangerously good as MSU's coach. Tressel might feel some
heat for a second straight title game loss, but he's still coach for as long
as he wants it (plus, if their underclassment return, OSU could make it back
for a third time next year ... either to be the "third time's a charm"
feel-good story or to become the Buffalo Bills of college football ... as
much as it's schadenfreude watching the Bucks self destruct despite how bad
it makes the league look and inflates SEC egos, there would be something
funny about it if Georgia defeated OSU in next year's BCS title game).

Oh well ... it's that sad time of the season until spring football begins. :)

GO CATS!!!
