I am going to put my reputation on the line, what little of it there is left, and make a definitive statement about the Purdue coaching search:
We will not have announcement until Saturday at the earliest, and most likely on Sunday.
My reasoning for this is sound: If we had our candidate locked up by now we would have already announced, and I think Purdue is waiting for several candidates who are involved in conference championship games.
Think about that for a moment: If a coach has already finished his season Purdue has had now three days to interview and finish the deal.
