Creighton would be a perfectly OK, super boring hire for Purdue.
Martin has won 2 and 3 games in his first two seasons at Miami OH, and is currently 1-6 (with his only win over…yup, Kent State).
A 60 year old man, whose only Power 5 coaching success came almost two decades ago, ain’t the best recipe for success.
RIP Commodore Hazell, 2013-2016. Purdue plunges into another football coaching search, except this time under new management. How will Mike Bobinski handle the hire, and who in their right mind would put together a list of 50+ candidates for the Boilermaker job? Why, these handsome individuals right here.
Purdue volleyball snapped a five-match losing streak Saturday, sweeping Rutgers after being swept by Penn State Friday night. The Boilers (#21 Massey, #22 AVCA) move to 12-7, 2-6 in conference play, and travel to Northwestern and #24/#24 Illinois this weekend.
Will Purdue beat Iowa this weekend? Which objectively awful songs do you love? Did you know Kyle Orton's infamous Jack Daniels picture happened in Iowa City?
J Money, Boilerdowd, and Aneesh reconvene to talk about Commodore Hazell (impressively) not losing the locker room last week, the meaningfulness of close wins versus bad teams, Darrell Hazell's heel click, projecting Purdue's remaining wins, piling up injuries on an already-thin roster, whether Purdue and Illinois would agree to play each other nine times during the Big Ten slate, and PJ Fleck's lunacy winning us over. All that, plus Dowd's tragic post-unicycling accident eulogy, Aneesh/Dowd's pledge to record the next podcast naked (and Hazell coaching the Northwestern game in only a vest and hat) if Purdue wins 3 of the next 4 games.
Boiler volleyball had a rough road trip last week, dropping a five-set match to Iowa and falling in straight sets to Nebraska in their first road matches of the conference season. AVCA #22 and Massey #19 Purdue returns home to face Penn State and Rutgers Friday and Saturday.
Coach Haze ices Illinois while leading his Boilers to a somewhat improbably victory.
