I'm guessing he's had one in the past and includes a pic in his resume because anyone can grow a 'stache but few can look like a walrus.

Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.

Here's to hoping it works out for them. I was hoping Purdue would approach this coaching search guns blazing and maybe go after a guy like Narduzzi or Kirby Smart (even though Smart is too good for Purdue), but who knows, maybe this will prove to be a great hire.

It's been a lot. Its been a roller coaster that for some reason seemed like it would never get good. But you know what? We kept fighting. It's like that old saying goes, "Those Who Stay Will Be Champions." -David Molk

Heacock got the Indiana job by riding Tressel's coat tails and was fired because he turned Indiana into the worst defense in D-1 and then ran YSU into the ground after Tressel.

Purdue fan retweeting BlackAndGold, which is the Purdue Rivals site, I think. Tweets like this are starting to appear with some frequency now, though many media outlets are simply saying "not so fast" on the Hazell talk, and a few are saying an agreement might still be possible. Lots of people still reporting these talks in some stage of finality / collapse / the tweet below -

 

EDIT: There's also Tim May from the Columbus Dispatch:

This is one big ball of confusion right now.

scroll to the latest comments in the link from OP to see the saga unfold

Not sure how to embed tweets, but Goldandblack (purdue's rivals site) also tweeted about the holdup and at one point tweeted that Hazell told KSU players he's not leaving for purdue, but has taken down the tweet since then.

The holdup could be because of contractual negotiations, but could also be Hazell waiting out on other openings (potential opening at cinci - Hazell is Ohio guy and probably want to stay in state and join/be successor of Meyer; also potential offers from Cal, Wiscy or Pitt if PC is gone to Wiscy)

There's still ppl claiming that the negotiations will get done today and Purdue has scheduled the press conference for tomorrow, but they really should try to seal the deal ASAP with dominoes falling at wiscy and with Butch Jones deciding soon

The Purdue fans seem to be really high on Hazell.  I admit, I don't know much about him, but I've looked at his resume.  Why such great enthusiasm?  Is it just that anybody would be better than Hope?  This, his second season as a HC has been a great season for him, but did he even recruit any of the starters?
