If we have to keep hazell what I'd do with our offense

[BoilermakerD]

Ideally I'd like a new head coach, but if we can't have that I don't know what's so hard about this..

Bring in a OC who has a reputation for running a fluid basketball on grass offense. I don't care from where. If the best one you can get is at a d3 school great.

Unlike in the past, combine that by recruiting an annual version of Markell jones. Very good but not some miracle recruit you can never get. And no, as much as I liked Joey Harris, Jerod void and kory sheets, none was as good as jones is going to be.. Particularly at being a physical runner, because in basketball on grass the running back must usually out pop someone. And before anyone starts, void was as physical but his agility and burst was nothing compared to jones.

Backs who can win one on one ace back match ups

An OC with balls who knows how to run a fluid passing attack

I stand behind our skill players being plenty good enough if we have that.

I have been thinking like you.If Shoop comes back next year,I have no reason to expect improvement.

Why does it have to be basketball on grass. Purdue never has been able to land quality wide receivers and with M.Jones it just needs to be a balanced offense and we must find someone who can recruit more than anything. Basketball on grass was lightning in a bottle. Just get anyone but another clown who "draws up plays in the lab"

who ever said you needed to land receivers who would dominate in 21 personnel to run the spread? We landed plenty of quality spread receivers.

Ohio state has urban Meyer and you don't want to spread the field at Purdue? Really?

I'll take bowling greens offense here any day

You dont need high ranking recruits to run an effective spread offense. The quality of the line and the QBs are more important.

Why is it that a university know as cradle of QB'S has rarely landed any stud receivers? I'm not talking 5* but just someone who is a difference maker and can get separation.

Tiller actually recruited several highly ranked receivers, but none of them really panned out. Kevin Noel, AT Simpson, and Selwyn Lymon come to mind.

I think you have to distinguish between highly ranked highly desired recruits and those that are highly ranked where the power programs are sort of winking at each other about passing on.

Not sure why but yes that's all been perplexing - even back to the Jim Young days. Lots of great qbs but we always developed good receivers - never really had a stud recruit that panned out.
That said we always seemed to do just fine with the ones we've had in the past.

Dorien Bryant was a difference maker and a 4 star wr. But yeah, I always have to wonder why we never get great wideouts. You guys should hear Philly sports radio today and how they are ripping on Chip and their lack of wideouts and no difference makers.
