As I said earlier today I think this is a really good hire and might be better than Butch Jones. He built something from nothing and with Wisconsin now in play it was critical for us to lock down one of the better candidates that was on the board. If anything, we took him away from a divisional rival that we have to play every year and already has our number.
Those are the words I wrote almost four years ago when Darrell Hazell was hired. At the time, it looked like an excellent hire. The national media was praising Purdue for mkaing a good decision.
