Never thought I’d say this … give hazell credit

His offense was basically a bunch of Jim tressel plays that would have worked if he had Maurice clarett, and not low level 3 stars, but at least he could hang his hat on tough linemen and defensive players. I can’t tell you what this team can hang their hat on.

It was a bad team last year. Okay fine. Kirk ferentz won 4 games in two years.

The team looks like they went 4-8, left the day after their last game and then showed up a week before their first game

Darrell hazells teams weren’t any good, but at least you could see where they were trying to improve.

When was the last time Purdue was down 24 to Illinois? Brandon Hanse??
You and I remember the Hazell days much differently.

I think that’s the biggest takeaway from all of it.

Add an incompetent coach. A nonsensical D scheme. A soft mentality. A physically soft team. A team with poor fundamentals. We actually play WORSE than our talent level.

We could hire an average G5 level coach and things couldn’t help but be better. With deeper pockets than we have ever had…I know we can do better than that. Time to find fit (scheme, culture, players)vs trying to find the lighting in the bottle guy.

That's a fascinating story about Holtz; excellent coaching.
Jeff Zgonia played his guts out that day and Holrz sought him out.
