Purdue should talk to him. He may be the best fit for us.

Pat has Head Coach experience in the B10 and was very successful. He set up good offensive and defensive units on both sides of the ball. He is a great recruiter and given that Purdue does not have as strict admission requirements as Northwestern does, he can bring in a lot of B10 caliber talent.

Plus, I think he was railroaded out of NU. (those hazing allegations were not conclusive and he was let go for not knowing all about it)

Thoughts on Pat?

Doesn't he still have some legal things going on though? I ask as I am unsure. I agree on the hazing hazing thing.. sure seems like he was just the fall guy for it all by NW.

And he would actually know how to beat NW.

Thought he was NW through and through...at least up to the incident.

Nope. The only thing worse than our on field product now are off the field issues. Especially when they involve hazing and especially when the hazing borders on sexual abuse.

He should never be allowed to lead young men again.

NW has strict admission requirements for football players? That sounds like ND propaganda.

I'm taking about things like SAT scores for all students, not just athletes.
