I think the most telling points are made by the comments to that article. Vast majority were complementary. Some also wondered why he could do no better than QB coach for a deadman walking HC. Pure speculation on my part, but as a record-setting QB himself, I'm hoping Haz has promised him a lot of leeway to get us back on track toward the cradle again. He will definitely have more raw QB talent here than the walk-on at Syracuse this past season.
At least he doesn't wear a beard...that's a good start.
Unless it was Jon Gruden, it doesn't matter as long as Morgan Burke is Geppetto to Darrell Hazell's Pinocchio. If he made this hire 3 years ago it would be cause for some interest.
I will give the man a season to prove would he can do.I do think Purdue has two young Qbs with potential,so we will see what happens.
Yep. Only averaged 157 passing yards per game. Ran the ball about 65% of the time, right up Derpel Haze's alley.
I couldn't agree more. Finally a coach who can focus on a position that needs to develop and if he offers any help in recruiting and play calling or game planning assistance that is a bonus. Didn't like the idea of OC/QB coach like with Shoop.
Considering the situation did you really think that we were going to get a WOW hire????!
considering the state of our program and having a lame duck coach, I'm surprised we got someone of this caliber. He's young , energetic, and knowledgable of the QB position. He was the recruiting coordinator at Cuse and his '14 class ( which inc. Denzel Ward) had 1- 4 star, 15 - 3 star, and 8- 2 star, which isn't bad at a school w/ comparable success as our program.
