Exactly... what are we going to do win NO games?

I dare say a new coach most likely won't do any worse than our current lame duck.

I LOVED this part...

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SEE IN THE NEXT COORDINATORS?

“Darrell and I will have that conversation. We’ve got to have an offensive philosophy you can articulate that is one you can replicate with the talent you have, so you can say why they can be successful. That’s important. It’s one thing to have an offensive scheme, but if the kids aren’t capable of running it, you really don’t have an offensive scheme.

“On defense I’d just like to have the linebackers healthy. I want to understand the philosophy and why that would be successful in the Big Ten. You won’t be successful unless you have effective linebackers. We have four young (linebackers) who can be successful if they can stay healthy.”

Did not even come close to answering a question.

Well we did say that with Danny Hope....

That said, Danny loved to blow his fair share of VERY winnable games. 2009 was a super talented team and had 8 wins written all over it. He got 5. 2010 was a disaster for multiple reasons but man did we suck from the outset too....

2011...blew the Rice game down the stretch.

2012...couldn't finish off OSU and ND after some pretty great D and O performances.

We needed to go in a new direction from Hope....but not down!

Dude, reading this, as long as Morgan is here, Darrel is here. "Firing midseason is deplorable."

very clueless guy, he said we had a very young team but on O and D for most of the season 8 of the 11 starters were upperclassmen. He said disappointing season, it was a deplorable season, year 3 is a big year for a coach to see if any improvement is made and we still won only 2 games. You guys should listen to the Philly media and fans on their opines of Chip Kelley. The guy had 2 10-6 seasons but is horrible this year and they want him out and I don't blame them.

How can you comment on plain ole "STUPID"....................guess he could give a rats azz that there will be less than 25k in the stands next year...................................

Were there any tough questions asked of the Non Revenue Sports King?

Such as:

"Morgan, why on earth would anyone spend hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars to come watch bad and boring football for the 4th consecutive year?"

Or:

"When you are on a car trip, and you make a wrong turn, do you turn around? Or do you just keep on driving until you eventually get somewhere?

Another "knee-slapper" about what a long list of applicants we will have... That "network" got us Shoop-son as first choices. Now if he does go internal hire Morgan looks even dumber. Also loved the line about finding a coordinator(s) being secondary... It is too great. So much comedic relief.

Burke: "the bulk of this roster will return next year."

Is that supposed to be good news?

 

[boilermaker75]

“It’s important because we’ve invested a lot of time and effort in football."

News flash Morgan, the football program has spent that time and effort running in circles. You are not getting anywhere.

 

[pboiler18]

Yeah, I mean....I don't know what good he expected to come from that article. That's an article that's totally acceptable coming off like a 4 or 5 win season...when there is visible progress to see. I don't care how a team practices....there are obvious deficiencies that go beyond who our coordinators are on this team. Firing them fixes some things, but that's step 1 of about 50 that needs to be completed before this team even flirts with a bowl.

After 2 wins and an obvious backslide, that article rings of somebody with no clue who is desperate to get people on his side. I can't imagine we sell more than 15k season and student tickets combined....when A LOT of schools fill their student section with over 15K people.

Does he think he's tricking people into thinking there is progress? I can't think of a single place there was actual progress. The OL looked a lot like the OL in 2014. The QB situation is no more clearer....and the only bright spots were QBs coming in backup roles....suggesting that NOT working with the OC was good for them. The TEs are young but unlikely to ever make a splash. The WRs honestly looked a bit better to me, but with the offense those results never really manifested themselves on the field. I don't think the DL was terrible vs. the run....but we really couldnt ever manufacture a pass rush vs. a good team. The LBs were young and injured....but when we had Herman back late in the year we seemed to look worse.... The Safety's weren't good and the CBs were highly overrated and not really allowed by the scheme and staff to play to their strengths.

RB might be the only unit that is as good as or better than last year Mostly because of Markell....but it is concerning that Keyante Green never got to see the field.

Another Burke classic, when referring to our latest horribly ranked recruiting class: "this class has a preponderance of linemen. Linemen are never highly ranked."

Yes, he really said that.

 

[BoilerStutz]

As I thought, he reveals that he is very involved in the decision-making in the football program. He also admits that he is a layman.

Successful coaches do not allow the AD anywhere near the important football decisions. The collapse in the program post-Tiller (who kept Burke at arms length) is completely understandable.

Get back in the pool, Morgan.

I need to get my hands on some "Get a clue" t-shirts. Maybe with his picture on them. Fans, we must continue to boo him whenever you see him. We as fans are the only ones who hold him accountable.

"You can't sugarcoat it" Really, Morgan? You have won 3 real football games in 3 years and that is all that you have to say? How about acknowledging that you completely screwed this up? How about saying that your football program has not been this bad since the 1940s? How about stepping down?

I wish the media could expand on his statement a few weeks ago about "progress." Where? Where Mr. Burke do you see progress?

Granted the response again would be about the lost puppy dog, linebackers healthy, bowl of gravy.....

He says we can't hit the reset button, but isn't firing both coordinators, and implementing new schemes on both sides of the ball essentially doing just that?

Especially when the head coach has never been able to articulate an identity, or vision for the program?

This is what you get with Morgan the Moron as AD. He doesn't get that everyone else is sharper than he is and sees through his BS.

Good point. He's never really said over the past 2 years when we were running Shoop's walking abortion of a system what the strategy or scheme ever really was, or wanted to achieve.

I worry that the next hire will be more of the same. I truly fear us keeping Malone and having him come in and try to further implement what Shoop was trying to do. Honestly, I think we need a 2 RB (with Jones, Knox and Green rotating) shotgun offense where we can run and just as easily pass out of similar formations. Use Knox more like a TE out of the backfield and Jones and Green as the runners. Use a lot of unbalanced formations to get teams to focus on areas of the field and then hit them other places.

As much shit as Nord got and deserved, he was good at doing this. He was terrible at attacking defenses when and where they needed to be at times (that dude NEVER went downfield unless it was the wheel route play) but he did know how to create the occasional mismatch for our guys to take advantage off.

We need a spread guy and we need one in here ASAP. We have to start scoring points to give us a chance to win us some games! Not scoring and then trying to play bend don't break D was never going to get us anything other than 2-3 win seasons!

[Bippus33]

“It was a series of discussions I had with Darrell during the season. It ripened the week of the Bucket game. We knew what we were going to do on Wednesday. I wouldn’t tell them before the last game. I think that’s unprofessional.

And how professional is it MB to openly report your method of terminating three Purdue Employee`s to the open media .........?
You are a real stand-up guy MB when compared to your collegiate peers .
Would those in Freehafer Hall recommend other elite Purdue staff to publicly report about the termination process of their subordinates as you did?????
Train Wreck!!

Even if we get a new coach we are quickly approaching a bare cupboard situation. The recruiting is not good enough. We are going to be hitting the reset button any way! Why wait!?

Amen. It was a pretty stupid thing to say and next year when we potentially win no games, we will be in such a deep hole the next coach will need YEARS to fix it all.

You thought our pass defense was bad this year, wait till next year when our only 2 legit B1G DBs are gone - and we still have no pass rush.

And as far as Burke insinuating that having our LBs healthy will fix the defense, weren't they healthy when we were giving up 42 points a game in our 3 non-conference games that were against FBS schools?
