Unfortunately, our Boilermakers possess the wrong type of near-perfect season.
I am just ready to move on from football and from this A.D.
Try as he might, the body of work for Bobinski in terms of identifying and recruiting great coaching talent when filling openings is poor at best. I really have little confidence that he can a) be accountable and accept responsibility for his failure, b) make what should be an easy decision to fire the football coach that he recruited when every indication is that it is the right thing to do for everyone involved, or c) resign immediately so that a committee can do the job that he apparently cannot and hire a stellar and proven head coach and talented new athletic director.
It is just so depressing. Purdue has a stellar academic and character reputation. We do a wonderful job of developing leaders on the academic side of the house. Money should be no object in terms of hiring the right athletic department leadership and football coaching staff, and properly compensating players in all sports under the expected House settlement and NIL.
The problem is the scarcity mindset that must be purged with a reset that recognizes the new college athletics landscape.
