How do you even fix this offense?

He’s just gonna come in and run harrells offense with personnel he has never coached?
I thought card did pretty good. He had by far the highest pff rating on offense. When he wasn’t under pressure he was 12-15 with a TD. Let’s not forget he had a 51 yard TD on a nice rollout called back due to questionable OPI. His INT although under pressure was a horrible throw but when you got guys in your face it’s tough to see the whole field.
Card was horrible until Nebraska went to prevent.
Until Purdue gets a football coach, things will never improve. It's obvious the AD knows nothing about hiring a football coach. I'd still like to know what made him select Walters!
I don't understand why you say we can't fire the OC, perhaps it's because no such person exists! Purdue could borrow most high school OC's and they would do a better job than the current one, same with the head coach!
Perhaps with the traditional coaching. But unfortunately the head coaches job goes far beyond traditional coaching, and new responsibilities are being added all of the time. There's the traditional recruiting, recruiting for the transfer portal, keeping the old players who are free to leave at any time, keeping new recruits on board, NIL, getting alumni to contribute to the program, and I imagine a lot more than most people realize. Then you have a new head coach trying to tackle all of these jobs simultaneously, and still coach the traditional parts and also trying to learn being a head coach at the college level. I doubt if any of your high school coaches could do all of that with any success. Of course the OC also has to help with the recruiting and keeping every on board, so even for him it's not all X's and O's. But the X's and O's have to be addressed better while accomplishing those other things, which they haven't.
Yes. And that OPI wasn’t even questionable, Brown was literally engaged in a block because he thought Card was running, which he probably should have done for a 1st down.
The guy coaching these WRs? You kidding? Rumblings of off the field incidents with him too.
The only reason to fire the oc right now is you plan on bringing the staff back. I would prefer walters got fired and someone else coached the team for the rest of the season. You find your guy before the other openings emerge and get them on board quickly to recruit and build a staff. Criteria in priority 1) proven head coach 2) can bring his staff 3) offensive guy
I would prefer Walter’s start winning and we move on with life. And a great way to start to try to do that is fire Harrell.
And the fact that they don't have a seasoned coach to back Harrell up points negatively to the head coach.....
Walters got some work done last week and made some progress on defense. With that said, Harrell made no progress on the offensive side of the ball...
Well Harrell is fired. Walters is next.
I’m sure right now Walters is frantically asking around the office if anyone else has ever called plays.
You might want to read the data being posted here before you make uninformed posts.
I've thought this all along. CRW would have come here for a lot less money. I was SHOCKED when I heard what they paid him to come here. He was defensive coordinator, and IMO, would have jumped at the chance to be HC for a lot less money.
Increase his pay if he's successful, cut him loose if he's not.
