That's really a defeatist perspective. While I'm resigned to the fact that we'll never be OSU, UM or PSU in football (and it took me a while to admit that), there's no reason Purdue can't be in that second tier and put the fear of God into those teams when we play them,I don't think the new BIG and all the changes in college sports helps you hiring a new coach. The schedule just keeps getting worse which makes it harder and harder to turn things around.
Face it, we've become the Washington Generals of the BIG. The occasional opponent for the top level to circle as a win and a bit of a break. You accidentally get a really good player, the big dogs of college football are just going to come in and out bid you for them and take them anyways.
Just time to admit what the situation really is, we aren't competing in football, so just cash the checks coming in and focus on Basketball and other sports.
Hopefully this year is an anomaly and we right the ship, but the expectation should be 6-8 wins with the occasional 9-10 win season, regular bowl appearances and beating a team or two you're not supposed to every year.
