in football recruiting. This sure makes you want to get out next fall and see the new kids perform.

Tell me how Morgan sleeps at night with the mess he has made of football. Probably explains why he is asleep at the switch.

Different day, same whining.

They aren't listening. They don't care how many people show up on Saturdays...why do you think they care about some upset people on a message board.

The sooner you give up, the better.

Apparently you care about what BoilerStutz has to say.
Why not show some common courtesy and let folks say what they have to say?

If someone appointed you as the board moral authority I missed the announcement.

Try not reading the posts of people with whom you disagree.

Thanks

They say the same thing over and over and over and over and over.

The horse is almost as dead as the program

I agree completely. Let's talk about something else... So, who is going to be our next decommit?

I don't think that's the right attitude to take on it....

That said...I also don't think shitting on the staff, kids, fans, etc.. in EVERY SINGLE THREAD, every single day is the right way to go as well.

We are on here because we love Purdue football. When it stops loving you back...why not move on...or maybe stop obsessing about it?

Suggest you look in a mirror and repeat your post to yourself.


Really? It's the middle of January, we have a very good basketball team. Most Boiler Fans want to look up not down. We seem to,have a bunch of football only fans who just can't stop commiserating about how bad this football program is and will be for several more years at least. We have a football board where you guys can wallow in your misery. If you choose to put this drivel on the KC board you can expect to be called out on it.

You're on the football board.

Now that's really funny!! Monday morning and I don't know where I am. LOL. My apologies to all of the football posters.

I think the most frustrating thing for me is to see the lack of urgency from the football program. There are obviously 2 people "attacked" on here - Hazell and Burke. I actually think people give Hazell too much of a pass and go straight to Burke. I don't know if that's just people giving up on Hazell or what.

However, from day 1, I think Hazell has done a horrible job trying to brand this football program. Basically when he started, the "external" feel of the program didn't change (as I'm sure there were differences internally amongst the team) .

And while we've continued to struggle, Hazell has come out with this "State of Purdue" that we're supposedly concentrated on in recruiting (which is the most general thing), but we aren't. We're doing nothing to strengthen the recruiting in the state. We aren't doing football camps that are friendly to recruits anymore than 1 hour away from Purdue (they are all day camps).

Now, you are essentially hitting the reset button with new coordinators and trying to start fresh. And what do they do? Nothing. There's no strategies laid out for recruiting, there's no explanation of how things are going forward with new coordinators, etc.

Being a successful football program (unless you're named Ohio State, Alabama, Clemson, Michigan, etc.) involves selling yourself. Not just to recruits but to your fans. And quite frankly, the selling yourself to your fans (the public) also gets you attention that recruits see.

I just haven't seen that from Hazell and his staff, or even any interest in doing it. While that does also fall on Burke, he can't just hold the football coach's hand in everything. Look at Painter - the guy knew what he wanted and he made it happen and literally had to threaten to leave to get it. Purdue's doing a lot more "fan friendly" and program friendly things with football and it's like we're desperately trying to prop them up. For once, it'd be nice to see the football program try to do things they can do themselves. The athletic department should not be responsible for holding their hands.

We are now #84 after the Campbell decommit.

Do we have anyone left with an active P5 offer?

The WR, I forgot his name, he had offers from Louisville and Pittsburgh.

 

[JohnHoosierr]

I only took a look at 4 recruits and 2 had other p5 offers. Shuman was one of them and he had a laundry list. Alabama and Clemson were two of the schools. Was absolutely shocked when I saw that.

Don't believe rivals offer lists like that

Ya I took it with a grain of salt. Hard to believe either of them would offer a guy that ended up coming to Purdue.

Why on earth would you think HAZ would ever do anything when he essentially was paid the equivalent of 37 years pay at his last job to sign a piece of paper and lie at press conferences? He was De-incentivized from the git - go!

Update: we have now dropped to a tie for 85th, with San Jose State. This thing is falling faster than the price of crude oil.
