Purdue BTN Preview
Did anyone see the Purdue BTN preview
looked like a lot of people walking around - no urgency to practice
The hosts were trying to say how much of a nice guy hazell is
talked about the promise he showed at OSU as a recievers coach
Terry Malone (YTTM) is new OC

Wonder if he will get fired during the season or not - my hope is he makes it through the season. Bad look to fire a guy in October for just being bad - he has been bad for 3+ years.

I expected a YouTube video of approximately 3 minutes of people laughing. Or crying. Either way, that would have been an appropriate Purdue preview.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:40 AM ^
Purdue needs to invest if he gets the boot at A&M
August 27th, 2016 at 11:26 AM ^
The reason Hazell is still around is because he got a 6 year contract when they hired him and the remaining 6 million is too much for them to buyout. There's no way they would ever be able to afford Kevin Sumlin.
August 27th, 2016 at 11:44 AM ^
Sumlin had not proven to be a very good coach. He's also very slimy... probably not worth whatever money he commands.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:41 AM ^
Can't fire the guy .... they may not find anyone else who wants the job!
August 27th, 2016 at 10:14 AM ^
Bob Stitt.
August 27th, 2016 at 1:55 PM ^
Stitt would actually be a great get for them, but I'm not certain he'd take the job without a more supportive university administration.

Purdue has a new AD. From Georgia Tech. I think he was hired to do what Morgan Burke consistently failed to do: build a football program. As a Purdue alum (MS), I am quite ready for a more supportive administration.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:26 AM ^
Danny Hope will always go back.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:42 AM ^
The Purdue fan is counting down the hours to the season opener. Deer season, probably, they don't want to see any Purdue sports.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:46 AM ^
Purdue should move to FCS.
August 27th, 2016 at 9:50 AM ^
I think his buyout goes down to $4M after this year
August 27th, 2016 at 9:54 AM ^
I like how the announcers referenced the ol' "QB will be given the keys to the offense and what kind of vehicle will he be driving" statement, as a golf cart cruises across the screen.
Pretty much somes up what we can expect from Purdue this year.

"Looked like a lot of people walking around - no urgency to practice."
JV football.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:13 AM ^
Should be a short episode.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:28 AM ^
I watched it. They were talking about how they scheme for wins they can have and not tweak it for big dawgs or something like that. How low can Purdue go.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:45 AM ^
I think we are finding out just how low they can go.
August 27th, 2016 at 11:48 AM ^
What are these wins they can have that they speak of? That's maybe 1 game per year.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:43 AM ^
"at least we're not Rutgers"
August 27th, 2016 at 11:37 AM ^
I mean, it's not the most compelling slogan out there, but I suppose if you were down to Purdue in Rutgers in your recruitment, naturally you might choose badminton.
Yeah, a Purdue preview under Hazell sounds like an opportunity to watch people having a normal day, laughing and playing, right before something unfortunate - like a football season, in their case.

You serious Clark?

If Purdue loses to Eastern Kentucky, they don't win a game all season.

Purdue has fallen hard since Joe Tiller retired. It doesn't help their AD (also retiring this year) is the polar opposite to Dave Brandon. He is a cheap bastard that refuses to spend money or properly promote Purdue sports.
August 27th, 2016 at 12:01 PM ^
Blame it on the snake oil
August 27th, 2016 at 2:00 PM ^
I started paying attention to college football outside UM back when Joe Tiller was challenging for Big Ten championships on a regular basis. It seems strange now to see them approaching multiple decades in the gutter.
August 27th, 2016 at 10:55 AM ^
and save them.
any second now.

They need to look at what worked. Purdue had good QBs for a long time. Go back to the spread passing attack. Find some pro d-ends and try to make it work. I guess Danny Hope wasn't so terrible after all.
August 27th, 2016 at 1:02 PM ^
Purdue is a basketball school. Its like Duke in that sense--they dont care about football. (Of clurse they wish their hoops compared to Dook.) And they totally are waiting to end of season to make a change and reduce the buyout for Hazell from over $6M to $4.2M. But their next football coach will be just as bad so none of this matters.

There are some very good Division 2 schools in PA. To me they look like an elite D2 football school or an average FCS school, not a Big10 school.
I'd like to see them play Slippery Rock on a neutral field.

This is the reality at Purdue. Joe Tiller was the exception and even he couldnt keep the majic going (only 1 bowl game his last 3 seasons) Purdue won by playing a new style offense that was unknown in the big ten so they caught many teams off guard for a while. Eventually the luck ran out. Although im not gonna lie the Michigan vs Purdue games were always so much fun to watch.
