Back in 2013 Purdue was in the market for someone who could elevate a stagnant football program. At the time, Purdue had only been to two bowl games in the previous five seasons and had not finished with more than 7 wins since 2007. We thought a good hire, such as the highly lauded Darrell Hazell, would be able to take a decent foundation and boost it to new heights.
Well, it is plain to see that the move was a complete and utter failure. Now, prepare to be depressed as we see what ever other Power 5 program who has made a coaching change has done since:
Arkansas – Bret Bielema – 22-21 record – The Razorbacks went north to steal Bielema from a pretty successful Wisconsin program and have had mixed results.
