OT - Danny Hope gone at Purdue
Not a huge surprise, but I expected another year given their bowl eligibility

I wonder if they had done this last year what their chances would have been getting Kevin Sumlin.

Considering he didn't seem all that interested in Illinois, Purdue would have had no chance.

Wasn't Hope the lowest paid coach in the conference? If Purdue wants to compete, they're going to have to do better than that.

This is the news I have been waiting for since Hope took over for Tiller.
However, I doubt Burke opens the purse strings. He is a penny pinching douche.

When Roundtree decided to commit to Michigan, was it Danny Hoke who called Rich Rod a snake oil salesman?

He was pretty damn good at Grand Valley State before ND. When would a better time to leave ND than when you're "on top". Right now is the best ND will get.

I don't know about him. Isn't Kelly an offensive guy? If so, it's hard to tell how much of this is him (not to mention the fact that their O hasn't been all that good anyway).

If they think that there is a guy out there who can make them much better than this is a good move, but otherwise you have a middle-of-the-road program suffering through middle-of-the-road seasons. Recruiting will never be great at Purdue, and unless you can catch lightning in a bottle like Tiller and catch the conference off-guard offensively, I have a hard time seeing the next guy being much better.
November 25th, 2012 at 6:30 PM ^
But, in typical Purdon't fashion, too late.

After he was such an a-hole to Richrod, I was thoroughly enjoying us beating Purdue down under Danny Hope's leadership and now it will just be some poor guy instead of Danny Hope which will make it much less enjoyable

Your coach should not be picked because he looks like you last coach.
November 25th, 2012 at 9:30 PM ^
No doubt this would not have happened if he hadn't blown an 8 point lead to Ohio State with 8 seconds to go and then sucked in OT.
November 25th, 2012 at 9:32 PM ^
oops double post
November 25th, 2012 at 9:37 PM ^
I came here for one thing, and I'm disappointed in all of you. Guess I'll have to do it myself...
November 25th, 2012 at 10:25 PM ^
I'm going to miss the easy win against him :'(
November 26th, 2012 at 12:07 AM ^
can I hope that the job goes to Borges?
November 26th, 2012 at 11:26 AM ^
Normally I wouldn't celebrate a man losing his job, but after the way this asshat acted at the end of the '09 game and his incessant negative recruiting against Rich Rod, I'll make an exception. Good riddance, you piece of shit.
