I keep hearing this? So, he, Simmons and players watched the brohm film and called the O? I’m confused
Did Walters call the offense?

The current understanding is he thought about doing it for Wisconsin but didn't feel he was ready. Felt more comfortable doing it against Illinois because it's his defense basically.
For whatever reason, he did a very good job at it.
Here's his best path towards not being fired...fire the DC, get a new one and let them run the defense, call the offensive plays himself.
Maybe it was a one time fluke, but that play calling was as creative as I've seen at Purdue given the talent levels.
The problem is being able to hire a good DC. His being young and not having developed a lot of relationships with other coaches may have been his biggest obstacle. Not being able to hire good coaches.
He did and against his former team. We'll know Saturday really if it was a fluke or that it worked or a small glimmer of optimism.

BC, yes, CWR called the offensive plays last game and will do going forward per his press conference yesterday.
As the poster above stated, he wasn't comfortable enough with the terminology to call the plays against WI, which seems odd to me seeing how he's the head coach.
His presser was pretty telling to me. Harrell seemingly had free reign on the offense and as the QB coach. Im not sure CRW really understood what was going on with the offense.
Anyway, his offensive play calling and game plan was very Brohm esque. More of that please.

Harrell’s offense was “run four comebacks because I’m doing Purdue a favor being here.”
He was lucky to have a job paying him 7 figures after being average at best at WVU. Say what you like but he deserved to go
It was good for about 30 minutes of the game. Some things he missed down and distance wise but it was better than Harrell…who set a pretty low bar even when he had some success here.
The issue is the D. We win this game going away if they show a pulse at any point. It’s also a lot easier to score against a defense you know. Also a lot easier to score when you are down 2-3 scores at times.
He did a good job. Sadly 18 games in it’s the first time we can say that about on the field results with a unit tied to him.
Ultimately he could be an offensive genius but the D is going to keep us from being good the rest of the year. It’s so bad it makes the rest of the team unredeemable….see exhibit A as what happened on Saturday. Couldn’t get A stop in 2 situations where you absolutely needed one.
You try and make it sound like he was too good to be here when he was lucky and undeserving to have us!
No no.. he coached like he thought he was too good to be here. I think he sucked
