Nope. He's never coached before. Great QB, but no evidence *yet* that he's a good coach.
Ideally the OC is brought as part of an entire staff by an offensive HC. Like Jim Chaney or Brian Brohm.
Brian Brohm showed that is a horrible OC in the bowl. Absolutely NO.
With all our good players sitting out, of course we sucked. He was good when Jeff was out with Covid.
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.
Keeping him another year only saves $3 million. They will lose more in ticket, concession, and parking revenue than that.
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…
Two coaches that would at least put the program first.......
I wasn’t recommending we hire Brian Brohm now, to be clear.
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?
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.
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.
Agree. He definitely needs to take care of himself before he is given another shot at running a football program.
But if you look closely, he had a couple of magical seasons early on at Texas A&M and since then has been pretty mediocre as a head coach. I'd look elsewhere.
Yeah my perception was he was good at recruiting ready made skill position players, but those OLs were mostly courtesy of Mike Sherman…and when those were gone, things started to slide…
I wouldn’t count that against someone. Especially guys who have proven to bring some success to their work while formerly at Purdue. Was Matt Painter a retread?
