Serious question (non trolling)

Yes, I'm an Indiana grad, but I've lived in California since 1978. My son plays football for USC, so I follow them closely. What has happened to Purdue's program? Joe Tiller was a good coach and really built the program. What led to the downturn?

I'm sure that means something to you, but I don't follow Purdue. Can you expand? Thanks.

They didnt invest in the program when Tiller was at his peak and it slowly eroded. After Tiller stepped down, they ignored his advice and went on the cheap with a replacement who was a bad hire. The AD followed that up by hiring the worst coach in school history and giving him a massive buyout. They are stuck with him because they cant stomach the buyout. Most purdue thing ever

Thanks for the explanation.
