Also, one person can only do so much recruiting. Purdue's major problem is depth. You can put a "premiere" recruiter in charge of some of our top recruits, but even if we get a few of those - we have no depth. It reminds me of like Bernard Pollard being an NFL caliber safety - yet we had the worst secondary in the Big Ten - or when Ryan Kerrigan was a beast on the defensive line, but our overall front 7/defense was terrible.
Each assistant is responsible for recruiting. Again, one person will not make or break this. Getting rid of one or 2 people will not make or break this. And it goes back to Hazell's overall management of the program. Even aside from poor play on the field, Hazell has not fired 1 assistant coach in his 2.5 years. How that is possible with the track record of these people - is beyond me. They aren't performing well on the field and they certainly aren't performing well recruiting. Why are these people still employed? Why has there been no shake-up at all?
This is why I get over the whole "get rid of this person or that person". That was talk that should have been done 2 years ago or maybe after last year. Not after year 3. We're beyond it. At this point, it's all on Hazell.
