The train may have left the station early, but so far that hasn’t done much to bring the coaching search at Purdue to an end.
There have been names kicked around for more than a month now after Darrell Hazell was fired in the middle of the season following one of the least successful tenures in recent memory in the Big Ten. But so far nobody has truly emerged as the odds-on favorite to take on the enormous rebuild with the Boilermakers.
Certainly there are positive aspects of the job, starting with the simple fact that it’s in the Big Ten, the salary is likely going to be appealing and reasonably competitive and the program has proven in the past that it has the potential to be a winner.
