He must win 2 of the 3 remaining games. Burk had no choice but to say he would be back. You don`t go on live tv and tell the Purdue world that the coach will be fired at season end with 3-games remaining. 99% chance Purdue will have a new H/C next year.
The only way D.H. keeps the job

I certainly agree that the silence was deafening and something had to be said - particularly after Hazell got asked about being back by the media and it was an awkward response.
Miami gave a solid backing of Al Golden just days before firing him. So in no way is this actually 100% happening.
However, I am also not sold he'll be fired. We aren't in October still. We're in mid-November with 3 games left. No need to wait until after the season.
Hasn't there been about 4 de-commits already? I think that they are trying to stop the bleeding from a recruiting standpoint.
I'm not really sure what to think of this. I would have said for sure that DH was gone at seasons end. Now I don't know. I guess we'll wait and see. I'm still on the fence with my season tickets. It definitely is rough driving 2.5 hours right now and sitting through a miserable game just to drive home another 2.5 hours.

Purdue has never fired a FB coach after three seasons. Daniels is not going to make Hazell be the first. We could have all our recruits decommit and loose the next three games by 100 points each and it will make no difference.
I got a feeling that you are right. I see us losing the next 3 games, but doubt it will make a difference. I just cant understand how they can make a decision now without waiting till after the season is over. Seems like they would do a season ending review before they made a decision.
IMO if the last 3 games are beat downs he's gone. If we win just 1, he's back. Unfortunately if we lose all 3 but the games are even semi competitive I think he's back. Close only counts in horseshoes and Purdue football games and we are all about moral victories anymore.
I don't think there's any formula for him being back. But if they lose all 3, it's going to be tough to keep him.
You are thinking of this from the point of view of what makes sense in the best interest of Purdue. That is not what Daniels and Burke are concerned with. Hazell is here for at least one more season.
Again you are thinking from what is the logical thing to do that is in Purdue's best interest. That is not what this administration cares about.
I think you are correct. But I still think Hazell is here next year no matter what.
Of course Demoss stepped down, he was not let go.
