Earlier this week athletic director Morgan Burke made it clear that Darrell Hazell would return in 2016. Even though he is now 6-28, he inexplicably has job security. That we have to live with. If John Shoop returns, however, it will clearly be a middle finger from Morgan Burke to the remaining Purdue football fans.
Today was a complete indictment of how poor he is at his job. Gifted three turnovers, Purdue ran 12 plays and gained 22 yards for a total of one first down. Gifted a Northwestern offense that did little to nothing in the second half, partially because the Purdue defense was playing so well, Shoop did nothing.
