The bluster. The “you’ll see” attitude. We’ll see what?
It’d be nice to hear about some changes actually being made. It’d be nice to hear some self reflection and admission of what’s been bad and a commitment to fix it.
Sadly he’s so far in over his head he doesn’t understand what’s wrong. I’m certain he believes we’ll just go out and do the same thing gs we have been and things will click. This is how coaches are. Good coaches are stubborn. Bad coaches are the ones who are too stubborn to change. It seems we have one of those.
Agree that progress to him is probably not getting blown out and maybe gaining 300 yards on offense.
If things weren’t so far gone I’d try to believe him. It’s lip service at this point. As soon as he turns on the fans it’s over for him. He’s approaching this completely the wrong way. Emeritus above is right…things will go from negative to fans just not saying anything or caring…and that will get him out of the door much much faster.
Oh FFS. He's not going to come up with massive changes right after, literally, a game.
Between the nasty DEI nonsense and the personal attacks of a guy who is just doing what he knows to do, it is all just I don't like this guy so let me attack everything he says and does like he slapped a pregnant woman while eating a baby.
If folks want to argue he wasn't ready they are free to do so by simply pointing to the schedule or recruiting or scheme or actual facts on the field.
All of the nasty ad hominem nonsense from some folks is a lot more anger inducing than having a couple of bad football seasons, which Purdue has had a ton of over the years.
Dude is losing some games. He didn't do anything to you personally, and he certainly wasn't gifted a great team or schedule. He was given his first job with a depleted roster and back to back top ten toughest schedules in the country and with a staff he had to assemble pretty quickly with not exactly an open checkbook for coaches or players.
Now, it's still on him to succeed or fail. If he continues to fail, guess what, he'll be fired. The next guy up may do better, same, or worse. But all of the nastiness, race discussions, personal attacks are quite the turnoff. Particularly for a program that's never been better than .500
We've been over .500 three times in the last 13 years, six in the last 20. The level of vitriol because a coach is having a bad football season at Purdue is well beyond what this program level is.
