The Indy Star reports that Missouri is hot for Purdue coach Matt Painter. At $1.3 million per year, Painter is one of the lowest-paid coaches in the Big Ten. Missouri is said to be offering $2 million a year.
If I was Matt Painter I would want to get the hell out of Purdue, he's losing his top 2 players and even though Mizzou isn't that big of a step in program recognition getting paid isn't a bad thing. Also with VCU coach Shaka Smart being the prized possession of this offseason, it wouldn't be a bad thing for Purdue to give him a call after VCU loses this weekend and rebuild around him while he's so hot.
