Danny Etling

Highly rated signeed, transfer to LSU, had a nice 50 yard TD keeper for the Packers this weekend. Believe he was from Terre Haute? Don't remember if he got injured or just lost in the shuffle at Purdue.

Got shooped.

He got Hazelled

One year it was Etling, one year it was Appleby, both going south. Etling has bounced around the NFL for a few years, mostly on practice squads I believe. Patriots mostly?

Etling was actually talented.

 

[TX4GB]

He ran the same play for the Patriots

Generally I have great disdain for players that transfer out of Purdue. For Etling I have great respect because he hung in there a long time in the worst coaching regime in Purdue history. I hope he succeeds in the NFL!

Schemes were sooo bad, this guy who has twice outran an entire NFL defense rushed for positive yards only 5 times in 13 games. He and Mostert were wasted talents.

Not sure what they could have done with Mostert. Hunt was the better college RB. Mostert didnt stick at WR.

How the hell was Shoop in the NFL?

Hunt I can get behind.
Dalyn Dawkins was getting more touches than Mostert in 2013.

Hazell did some dumb things with Mostert that year. Replaced him with BJ Knauf as primary kick returner and moved him to upback.

Dawkins was more about a favor to his dad and uncle, IIRC. The goalline carriers against ISU are still hilarious.

Nobody ever did less with more than Hazell and Shoop (well, maybe the guy that hired them).

I was literally thinking the same...then, just chalked it up to 'Da Bears.

The guy is a HS coach, which, is about the level that he seemingly always should have been at.

He has actually climbed down the career ladder.

He fooled a lot of people seemingly along the way though.

Hazell/Shoop was as incompetent a combination as there could have been...

As bad as his X's and O's were, where things really went off the rails at Purdue was when he started seeing himself as this self-appointed player's advocate, seeding tension between the players and the coaching staff and administration. Getting everybody spun up with conversations about concussions and how much money was being made off the players. You just can't do that as a coach of 18-22 year olds and expect them to play all-out inspired football. As a coach he was a total mind-f#ck.

IMO, that was his wife as much as him.

As a Bears fan since 1965 I can tell you that he was brutal. I and other Bears fans here told everyone that he wouldn't be any better at Purdue.

I’m also a bears fan. When Hazell was hired, I was fully on board. He said all the right things and seemed to have a plan. Then he hired Shoop and all my hope and optimism went out the door.

I have respect for Etling on how he took the abuse of some massive hits and sacks. He showed that he was a tough QB and football player.

That OL was just horrible back then. There were times I did not think he would be able to get up after some of those hits, but he always did.
