I don't know what kind of mess Hope left behind

but it's hard to imagine that things haven't gotten worse. We have little talent, no depth, and no discipline. Needless to say, that isn't a good combination. Our fanbase is indifferent. Nothing other than stubbornness is keeping Burke from making a change. We are clearly not making progress.

Where have you been? Stubbornness has nothing to do with Hazel not being fired. The school would owe Hazel a HUGE buyout. Like over $6 mil and then have to hire a new coach. MONEY is the only reason hazel is coming back. In meantime the school is doing that $15 renovation of the football complex. My guess that was needed and Hazel then gets canned in a couple years. The school has a renovated football complex to attract a good coach.

I don't think Hope left that much of a mess. From CoachesHOTSEAT.com :

Darrell Hazell, Purdue – The “word” is that Purdue head coach Darrell Hazell will get a FOURTH season as the head coach of the Boilermakers after posting the following records in THREE seasons on the job with only the Indiana game left to be played in 2015….

Overall: 6 – 29

Big Ten: 2 – 21

Those SIX wins by Darrell Hazell in THREE seasons at Purdue were against….

Indiana State – FCS
Western Michigan – MAC
Southern Illinois – FCS
Illinois
Indiana State – FCS
Nebraska

….and let’s not forget that Darrell Hazell was hired after the last Purdue head coach Danny Hope was fired after two-straight .500 or better seasons and two bowl game trips so PLEASE save us the Bullshit that Darrell Hazell took over a Complete Disaster at Purdue because the TRUTH is Hazell took over a Purdue Football program that had gone to a bowl game in….

12 of the previous 16 seasons

….AND had posted a record in Big Ten play in those previous 16 seasons of…

66 – 62

Only Indiana remains on Purdue’s schedule which is sitting on a record of 2 – 9 right now which looks to be 2 – 10 once Saturday comes and goes and then it’s on to 2016 for Purdue Football and no doubt fans of the Boilermakers are chomping at the bits to get their hands on some season tickets for next year’s team!

HA!

6-30 overall and 2-22 in BT play. How can anyone justify making 2M a year with that dreadful performance. If the man were a decent man, he would walk away and acknowledge he can't do the job.

And 3 of those 6 wins against D2 teams.
Thank god for Indiana State.
That stops next year.
Not sure who we can beat then.

We won't win a game next year. We might not even be able to beat an Indiana State next year if they were still on our schedule.
