Just a perspective based at coaching at some successful HS FB programs, Joliet Catholic at the time, Mount Carmel, Richmond Senior in NC and Manvel in Texas. A coach can only do so much with schemes and until Coach Brohm can entice more and better Offensive Linemen to Purdue via, HS recruiting, JUCO’s, transfers and/or Graduate transfers, he has done the best they can with what he has right now!
We are not getting blow out in any games so far this season, a big change from the past, and I don’t believe we currently have the personnel on site to see the full scope of his offense as we close out 2017. A good O-Line gives you more time to do both run and pass to keep the Defense guessing and we have not been able to do both against the better teams as the season progressed.
As far as the next season goes, follow the trail of who arrives at Purdue via all the options listed above, see how that addresses the O-Line and Defensive graduation losses holes and enjoy the ride as Purdue rebuilds. It may be another case of some new personnel not arriving as late as May or June and watch for sooner and better early commitments from current HS Juniors!
Some have already predicted next season will be worse due to all the Defensive players that have to be replaced but while that can happen I believe we have the staff in place that will not let it happen! Boiler Up! (The older Chicagoland fans will remember that FOOLS was a Bear Team acronym for Fraternal Order of Offensive Linemen)
