Nope. He's never coached before. Great QB, but no evidence *yet* that he's a good coach.You would take Drew Brees as an OC, right?
Ideally the OC is brought as part of an entire staff by an offensive HC. Like Jim Chaney or Brian Brohm.Who would you take? Chip Kelly?
Brian Brohm showed that is a horrible OC in the bowl. Absolutely NO.Ideally the OC is brought as part of an entire staff by an offensive HC. Like Jim Chaney or Brian Brohm.
With all our good players sitting out, of course we sucked. He was good when Jeff was out with Covid.Brian Brohm showed that is a horrible OC in the bowl. Absolutely NO.
I'm waiting for Bobinski to be fired.He is the cause of all this! If the Prez had any balls he would can him first.to see if Walters has been fired yet?
This doesn’t sound good:
Keeping him another year only saves $3 million. They will lose more in ticket, concession, and parking revenue than that.They say due to the buyout. Yep nothing will change…
With our luck, Brian will get Purdue bowl- eligible annually against top- shelf competition, recruit like dogshit after year three, then promptly bolt for Louisville to replace his sainted brother when he retires…With all our good players sitting out, of course we sucked. He was good when Jeff was out with Covid.
Two coaches that would at least put the program first.......Maybe just hire Sumlin/Spack as Co-HC's so 90% of this board would be excited.
I wasn’t recommending we hire Brian Brohm now, to be clear.With our luck, Brian will get Purdue bowl- eligible annually against top- shelf competition, recruit like dogshit after year three, then promptly bolt for Louisville to replace his sainted brother when he retires…
Hopefully the "more time" means just until the end of the season....
I still think this is just PR. What are they gonna say? Our coach sucks and we're gonna fire him....but not yet. We're just going to leave him to wither on the vine until keeping him on becomes completely untenable?Hopefully the "more time" means just until the end of the season....
Please! No retreads! These guys...Sumlin, Spack, Chaney, Olson...have had their days at Purdue. But bringing them back would be a mistake. Would feel like a Fred Akers hire.With Greg Olson as OC!
And I would 100% expect Maryland would allow him to interview for Purdue HC job early. I would also have expected sumljn would make that a condition of his hiring (permission to interview for HC job). Regardless there are enough feelers out there purdue could hire him immediately after their final game
Don’t know if it is still an issue but drinking derailed his time at TAMU. Don’t know what the deal was at Arizona but that went bad and south pretty quick.Sumlin was a complete washout at Arizona. No!!!
He got a DUI at Maryland.Don’t know if it is still an issue but drinking derailed his time at TAMU. Don’t know what the deal was at Arizona but that went bad and south pretty quick.
Thought I remembered that. Yeah, not a chance I’d want him as HC of this program. He’d be better than Walters but I’m not convinced how much.He got a DUI at Maryland.
