The Morning After: Takeaways from #Purdue’s 28-10 loss to Nebraska on Saturday.

I’m all the way out on both Harrell and Card. I don’t even know who the problem is to be honest, so I’m going with both. They both are terrible. This offense is just a complete joke.

It would be justified to fire him right now but I don’t think they can. They don’t have anyone to take over. I know I know it couldn’t be worse. But realistically they just don’t have a guy to call a game if they fire him.

I can’t even believe how bad this offense is. 2-10 is the best case scenario if they continue to play this way.

so Harris is going to the border. I assume she thinks its better (to be fashionably) late than never.

Just another flip flop from the Queen Flip Flopper.

Per ESPN and Rivals.

If you read his biography on wickedpedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graham_Harrell

you probably will come to the same conclusions that I did:

1. he's not stupid
2. he was a very accomplished player
3. he's not the only problem that we have on offense
4. moving to a new OC will not improve the offense much

I hope I'm wrong about #4, but we will see.

His history

Harrell is so inept. No wonder he was fired at USC. Don’t adjust, become one dimensional by quitting the run game, run nothing but long developing pass plays, don’t bench bad players. I could go on and on.

More to be added to this story shortly, but Purdue has fired offensive coordinator Graham Harrell.

I saw that Purdue had 80 potential recruits ay the game today, and they also had a large number at the ND game. After watching Purdue get mauled by ND, and now
getting pounded by Nebraska, Purdue cannot be making much of an impression on these visitors! Perhaps they should reconsider when they have recruit visits!

No word who will call plays now…

This failure is an AD failure as well as a staff failure.He hired a coach with no head coach experience.His gamble failed.You got what you paid for.

Just kidding, but I did just watch Tory Taylor pretty much win a game for the Bears lol

Bear down baby

Walters will probably be here next year but might as well dream about greener pastures. Don't bring up Walters we know he isn't it.

I'll go with Tyson Helton pros wins, had Bailey Zappi, threw for million yards have seen Westen Kentucky on tv has teams looking good. He is from Gainesville soo don't want another Brohm issue

It's obvious that the Purdue coaching staff knows nothing about defense, even though the so-called head coach is suppose to be a defensive expert. What he really was, was a DEI hire, which is
not the key to success in college football.

Looking at the rest of the schedule, Purdue will be fortunate to win 2 more games, unless they learn something about defense!

Purdue is in the fight for its life here in the next few years. If I’m Bobo I cut everything I can that isn’t linked to football or basketball because the BIG money tree isn’t the gift that keeps giving into eternity. Purdue athletics future hinges on what happens in football ….. period …. End. We may be a founding member but that gets swept under the rug when $ start getting thrown around with 8 or 9 figures attached to them. Yes we have a phenomenal golf course and diving pool but that crumbles into oblivion without football and basketball paying the bills. We need to be a solid middle of the pack football team before we waste money on other sports. Bitch all you want but they exist at the charity of football and to a lesser extent basketball.

A couple of Purdue commits were on bye this week, while poor weather in the Midwest moved some games around.

Example

In Oregon Portland has about 70% of the population. Portland is extremely liberal, while most of the rest of the state is conservative. In NY, NYC has the vast majority of voters and again, is very progressive and leftist leaning. And there are many other states that have that same situation.

When thinking about Oregon, Oregon is perceived as a hugely liberal, left-leaning state, and as a result Oregon voters not on the coast have proposed they succeed from Oregon and join Idaho because of a lack of representation and never having their votes count. When you look at NY, all you think of is NYC, when upstate NY is a great and beautiful area, but again, unrepresented.

How can all voters in a state have a fair election when this happens? How does an Oregon rectify the disparity?

I was listening to the ND radio broadcast for the 4th quarter today and they were amazed at how poorly Brohm was handling things. At one point, they commented “This has got to be the 7th decision by Jeff Brohm this game that just makes you scratch your head”. It seemed …oddly familiar… 🤷‍♂️

Generally Tariffs are a "tax" on goods. Can be bad as Harris inflation "tax", but not quite.

But not what Trump is talking about.

As I understand Trump's Tariffs he wants Tariffs on specific, targeted incoming items ONLY where America makes the product & makes a plethora of it well. An example would be foreign cars. Another example would be John Deere moving business to Mexico where he wants them to stay here. In other words if America makes the product well, he wants American companies to compete on an even field.

It should be noted that if American companies want to sell cars in most other countries, the other country charges a Tariff. So T's specific, targeted Tarrifs seem more fair and good for America & American companies & workers.

What wouldn't be good for anyone if Trump charges Tariffs on say Chinese production where we do not have the same product being produced here. Haven't heard of him wanting to do that, but as much as he hates China, certainly is a possibility. That would be terrible.

Broad reaching tariffs cause trade wars and are bad for everyone.....whereas there is less chance with specific targeted Tariffs.

Bottom line......huge difference between specific targeted Tariffs VS. broad ranging Tariffs. The former reasonable people should understand & be ok with.......the latter be 100% against.

I am gonna say Nebraska 38 Boilers 14

Stop us if you’ve heard this before. #Purdue’s offense being stuck in neutral leads to another frustrating defeat for the Boilermakers.

As has been consistently shown over the last 2 years, Loyer has a hard time on the offensive and defensive side of the ball when he goes up against athletic and stronger guards. He would definitely benefit from additional muscle in the weight room. However, I don't know if that solves the problem or not.

When he squares his shoulders, gets set and fires his shot, he can definitely be deadly from 3. However, last night showed again, when he drives to the basket, shoots off balance shots or floaters, or tries to create that this does not work for him. He is too slow to guard quick guards, and he really help us with rebounding (Smith probably out rebounds him 4 or 5 to 1 and he is 4 inches shorter).

He does have 2 years of experience, but with the more athletic guards, plus Heide and Colvin getting some experience this year, does Loyer even start for next year's team or will he be more of a 6th or 7th man on that team?

We need to take a hard look at what Curt Cignetti has done: coaching style, portal, recruiting, everything. He is said to be a perfectionist and a nitpicker. In last week's game vs UCLA, an IU db got an interception and had a little celebration on the field. Cignetti gave him a public arse-chewing when he got to the sideline.

Speculation!

Minny down 27 - 3 in the 4th quarter, scores 21 points to make it 27 -24 then kick a successful onside kick ruled off sides ( bad call too), Gophers didn't quit and lay down at AA
