In four years under Darrell Hazell's, Purdue only won four conference games, including one that will forever live in infamy. But a blowout loss to Iowa last October was the final straw; Hazell was fired at midseason and the Boilermakers finished the season 3-9. Enter Jeff Brohm, who went 30-10 the last three seasons at Western Kentucky, building on the foundation that Willie Taggart (2010-2012) and Bobby Petrino (2013) put in place.
Brohm has a legacy of developing quarterbacks who put up huge numbers through the air; at Western Kentucky, they each put up over 4,000 yards and 35 touchdowns all three seasons.
