Our blogging buddies at State of the U have picked up on a rumor that Purdue is about to fill one of its two remaining openings for its coaching staff. Randy Melvin is supposedly taking his talents from South Beach and coming to West Lafayette to be Purdue's newest defensive line coach.
Melvin is a well-traveled defensive line coach who has actually been here before. You will be excited to know that he was the defensive ends coach under Joe Tiller from 1997-99. So he is the man that started the Den of Defensive Ends with Rosevelt Colvin and Chike Okeafor back in the day.
