Hazell 2.0
- Thread starter uncleboiler
- Start date
No. Not even close. Please get yourself under control. The only thing Hazell 2.0 this is would be Hazell's recruits.
Not quite that bad, we are still playing with his recruits and only in year two. But this was a bad job all the way around.
Have to see how things regroup next week.

Not quite that bad, but the missing of Tony Levine is evident after 2 games.
I hate when people blame a previous coach for a current team's mistakes / failures. This is Brohm's team, not Hazell's. These are Brohm's players. This is Brohm's second year of coaching, not his second game. These players bought into Brohm's system. These are his players. Look at the roster, loo k at the starters. These are players brohm wanted. He's shown the door to almost all of Hazell's players. these players were coached and motivated by brohm and his coaching staff. Don't blame the past for our current team's mistakes and results.
The worst. He's just been lucky all this time. So much luck. All of the luck. Hazell would probably have won the NC last year. If they had hired you, you would definitely have won the NC. Stoopid Brohm.
You are wrong. The talent well was empty. The only thing you can hold in Brohm are the dumbass penalties. Let’s see if that gets cleaned up.
Hey I got something for you...watch the replay ..., you'll see a poorly coached team
Penalties,turnovers,ppor play calling....thats on the coaches .....same old ..same old
Coach had a bad game, it happens. Time to move on and improve and do what needs doing against Missouri. Purdue would have won this game, and you wouldn't be on here whining if Jared Sparks had caught a pass a quarter of an inch further from the sideline than he did.
Not criticizing players, but you're right when you say the talent isn't there. At a lot of positions EM was the better team.
I am fine with playcalling. The only bad play is the be one that be players fail to execute
What I saw was a Purdue team with half the roster being Hazell recruits, in the slop (a situation in which a crap Purdue team under Colletto once beat a highly ranked Michigan team 6-3, btw), get absolutely screwed by the refs and lose by 1. You see what you want to see. I'm sure this time two years from now your handle will be inactive, from the burning shame. In the meantime, strut around like you won something. It's your time.
I have to disagree! No one could possibly be as bad as Hazell was. I've seen midget football coaches better than Hazell! It would be hard for any program to recover from a mess like Hazell created! Unfortunately, after such a disaster, getting quality players to come to your program is difficult!

A Hazell coached Purdue team loses this game 55-19. Losing 2 games by 5 points doesn't mean the season is over. We should be 2-0 but we're not. It's not the end of the world. We'll get better.
The last regime's players have a lack of talent. There's no whitewashing that with saying it's Brohm's team now. When you have a lack of talent, there's very little to no margin for error. That's what's happening now. Should Brohm be held accountable for stupid penalties? Sure. But this shouldn't have even been a game if Brohm had power 5 level talent on D and in the trenches. He's had to make due with questionable MAC level talent and piecing together a puzzle from a Hazell disaster. So pardon me if I don't agree with with your condescending tone about it being his team and players.
And by the way, you're flipping clueless if you believe these are the players Brohm wanted.
You're not wrong.
If you want evidence of what a complete Brohm team might look like, just look at Rondale Moore. That is the type of player being recruited and we are a year or two away from purging things.
Brohm made some mistakes today without question and he will again as all humans do. Key is having a bigger margin for error and we just don't have that.
"What I saw was a Purdue team with half the roster being Danny Hope recruits"
That's what everyone was saying about Hazell teams....Deja vu all over again....
If you can't see the difference, you're either blind or an idiot. Maybe both...
Why are you even here? Clearly you're not a fan. Probably an IU troll.
He's really invested.
For all the people who are so quick to throw around the troll label- this is what a real troll looks like
Bad game...for sure. Downright depressing. However, I looked up at the sky after the game...it was still there!! Last year it was Brohm for President. Tonight, he might not be elected mayor of West Lafayette. But Brohm did not fumble the ball three times, Brohm did not jump on the QB after a sack, Brohm did not slide after a TD, Brohm did not miss an extra point and a very makeable field goal. Yes, some better calls could have been made, and the discipline needs to improve, but get real Imawhateveryournameis. You are an ignoramus, an idiot, and a bozo. I could use much worse names, but they would never be as long and as retarded as yours!
Brohm said this himself in his post game presser:
‘We aren’t good enough to do the things we did today and win. Our margin is very thin and we don’t have the talent and depth to fumble, miss field goals, miss extra points, and have penalties. (In essence)’
However, he also took 100% of the blame for it but some of the aspects I believe are pointing to an issue of effort at all times and every single play. I think some guys think they can just turn it on and they believed the wins would come because of last year.
My belief: guys should show up to film and there should be a message on the board with a blank depth chart that reads: you have 15 minutes to get your pads on and get to the Mollenkauf for practice. Today we figure out who wants to win football games...and they go hard for two hours.
Any coach who doesn't understanding that a FG is worth more than either one or two points has to be reconsidered. And then anyone who thinks Blough is going to anything more than manage a loss, well....
if the talent well was empty, that is also on Brohm. he knows this team better than you or I. last year the talent well was also empty. And what did Brohm do ? he went out and secured the services of several JUCOs and grad transfers to fill those holes. this year he must have felt confident in the players and talent he had that he did not go out and secure more jucos and transfers to fill the holes of the graduates and other departing players. brohm obviously felt the current talent was good enough that he recruited almost all high school players.
you can no longer blame Hazell for this team. For good and bad, it's now Brohm's team. and it laid an egg today. this game was much like the Nebraska game last year, and also much like last week's game. by all accounts, this was a game we had no business losing, even with Hazell as our coach.
So don't try to make excuses. Don't try to say these are Hazell's players, and that's the reason we lost. We lost because of our game plan, and poor personal judgement by our defense. We lost because of missed extra points and FGs. We lost because we fell in love with a ground game that couldn't score. We lost because we played it safe trying not to make a mistake or throw an interception. It was almost as if we played prevent offense. We didn't take a risk for fear of creating a miscue.
as I said, this was our one gimme game of the year, and our game plan was more like it was an exhibition game and we were evaluating our talent. going forward , we need one QB and to have confidence in that QB. Giving each a quarter to play was a bad coaching decision I thought it was clear who our starting QB should be. We can't use life games to evaluate talent and make decisions. Today it cost us, as well as last week.
that's my opinion.
This is not Hazell 2.0. Do people want us to have a HS coach as our coach like a rival to the South?
there were several players that verbally committed to Purdue last year and were eager to play for Purdue, but graciously uncommitted and signed elsewhere. That's a fact. one of those players included a LB from a Northern Illinois Junior college. he had suffered an injury, and brohm decided to recruit somebody else. and he ended up signing elsewhere. there were several other recruits that were interested in Purdue, but Brohm was interested in using his scholarships on other players. you should have read one recruit's comments after the IU game talking about next year, and then poof the next week he politely decommitted before signing.
brohm then over recruited his last class. and to make the 85 man roster, he politely encouraged several of Hazell's players to find new homes. he encouraged one experienced player to leave early and seek employment in the NFL. Clearly if yo u watched the Purdue transactions made I the last two off seasons, you could see brohm was politely ridding this team of Hazell's players and clearly putting his own brand on this team.
Purdue legacy Allstott politely left this team so Brohm could add a new recruit. Admittedly, Allstott was never going to play. But he serves as another example of this team is Brohm's team and the players on it are players Brohm wants to keep.
if brohm didn't want these players, they all would have found ways to politely leave and transfer much like Allstott did. this is Brohm's team, and these are the players he wanted and decided to keep. if he had wanted more experienced players, he proved the previous year that he knew where to find them via juco and transfer routes. he didn't go that route this year proving he must have had confidence in the players on hand. it doesn't matter who recruited them, these are the players brohm wanted.
and looking back, the players Hazell recruited were still better than eastern Michigan's talent. I hated the selection of Hazell as a coach, but this egg is Brohm's to accept, and not to blame Hazell for.
Non sense. Not one is saying it’s not Brohms team. We’re sayin it’s a massive freaking rebuild.
I knew last year would screw this up. Y’all thought it was fixed when it wasn’t. I have never seen a program in as bad shape as Purdue was in. Last year was a mirage.
