The only good thing about this article is that since not a lot of people are paying attention to Purdue football right now, not a lot of people are paying attention to this article!

Yes, and the flip side of that is, the people that have been paying attention to purdue football know why Shoop was fired, and the only mystery is why it took so long.

As an anecdote, Neil Armstrong said he was attracted to Purdue after a big win over Ohio State.

I also became familiar with Purdue first because of Rick Mount, Mike Phipps, and Leroy Keyes. At that time I didn't even know what an engineer was and now I am a Purdue engineer.

If we were 10-2, 9-3, hell 7-5 he might still have a job. Bottom line is he sucks as an OC and that's why he got canned, nothing more or less. His track record of success (ha) in the NFL and now in college and the subsequent results tell the story of John Shoop.

You're just a disgruntled Bears fan.. if you could only see how his legendary run at UNC is transformative of a career, then maybe you'd get a clue (dws).
