It used to be Indiana but with the way things are right now Purdue has become the Big Ten version of Kentucky where football is a way to kill some time until basketball season starts.
No clue how you would spin this as a good move to your fanbase.....
Hey fans.....remember the guy who led our defense during our 0-9 conference season where we gave up nearly 42 points a game (conf games)......we know you missed him last year.....so we are bringing him back.
Makes sense, they have just pulled his bio off the site already but was hired last January.
Odd choice.....bringing back the coach who oversaw the worst defense in the conference in both 2023 and 2024 in terms of points allowed. In 2024 they gave up nearly 40 points a game under Kane.
So does this mean that any player who didn't find a new home during the off season is just sitting out there available for teams to bring in mid-season?
We all know this is going to get exploited like hell over the next few seasons if teams are not stopped from expanding their roster mid...
Weird situation. He worked under Walters at Illinois on the defensive staff, followed Walters to Purdue, was presumably fired with rest of staff when Odom was hired and is now potentially being brought back by Odom for year 2.
Doesn't even show up on the coaches list on our roster page. Was...
Wade's GPA comment was definitely a little odd. Basically framed it like having a team 3.0 GPA was a bad thing. Would appear he is looking for athletes that are not there to play school. :)
Belichick and the the circus around him and his girlfriend at UNC hogged a lot of the spotlight this year. Prime has kind of become an afterthought without Hunter and to a lesser degree Shedeur grabbing headlines for their play on the field.
2 conference seasons with a 1-8 conference record...
I don't disagree....they have done a good job over the years of rotating on defense but for whatever reason they don't do the same at QB and RB. The benefit of those garbage time reps can be debated but I definitely wouldn't mind seeing us go to the backups on offense more when the game is no...
So my working theory is that coaches spend countless hours with the players working with them in individual and team drills and use that information to put the players they feel give them the best chance to win on the field.
But since you clearly know better....please enlighten me to what...
Sure....but is that what the player is looking for? I find it hard to believe he wants to give up a starting spot on a FCS team to go ride the bench for a Power 4 team.
My assumption is that wherever he ends up it will be a school where he feels he has a legit shot to be the lead back next...
I will agree there are times (especially on offense) where it feels like Fleck could have gone to backups and didn't in games where the outcome was decided (good or bad).
But I disagree on the regardless of outcomes part. Fans love to convince themselves there is a better option on the bench...
We don't have much in the way of impressive victories outside of the Nebraska win but I would argue that New Mexico's 9 wins haven't exactly come against the who's who of college football.
They beat two teams with winning records - UNLV and Utah State by a combined total of 8 points. They have...
Feels like some posters view recruiting like putting together a fantasy roster and just assume players will go to the highest bidder.
And while that might be true in some cases, Fleck is unlikely to be recruiting a lot of guys who are just interested in $$$.
Revenue sharing, NIL, Pay for...
