Report: Purdue To Hire Lamar Conard As New Running Backs Coach
Purdue football has filled the final position coach vacancy by hiring Lamar Conrad as the running backs coach.
Spent the past five seasons as RB coach at Miami (OH). Before that he was RB coach and recruiting coordinator at Illinois State for nine years. Started his coaching career as a Grad assistant at Purdue under Tiller. Also played CB at Purdue.
Long stays at schools seems like he’s appreciated by his head coaches. I also like his background as a recruiter. And it doesn’t hurt that he’s a Boilermaker and is familiar with the program as not only a player but also as a coach. Without knowing much more than that I think it sounds like a great hire.
