Greg Goff is sticking around at Purdue for the long haul.
After guiding the Boilermakers to a 37-20 season in 2026, Goff has landed a contract extension that keeps him in West Lafayette through the 2029 season. According to Nathan Baird of The Indianapolis Star, his salary will rise to $287,000 per year through that stretch, up from $280,000 this past season.
The extension comes after a steady run for Purdue under Goff. The Boilermakers have won at least 30 games in each of the last three seasons, piling up a 101-67 record over that span and reaching the Big Ten Tournament in 2024 and 2026.
This past year, Purdue came close to breaking through to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018. But the finish line got away from the Boilermakers after a series loss to Iowa to close the regular season and a Big Ten Tournament loss to UCLA.
Goff just finished his seventh season leading the program after taking over following the 2019 campaign. Since the 2020 season, Purdue has finished the regular season with a winning record four times, and Goff’s overall mark now stands at 177-150.
The next step is obvious: get back to the NCAA Tournament. Purdue has made only three appearances in program history, with the most recent coming in 2018, and it has never gotten past the regional round, going 2-6 in tournament play.
What Goff has already done, though, is put Purdue in rare company. Three straight 30-win seasons have happened only three other times in West Lafayette. Dave Alexander’s teams did it from 1985 to 1987, then again in 1991, and Doug Schreiber’s squads turned the trick from 2010 to 2012, capped by a program-best 45-14 record.
Purdue still hasn’t had that true breakthrough season under Goff, but the program has been inching closer. With stability now in place on the coaching staff, the Boilermakers will try to turn that momentum into a postseason return.
