I am going to start by saying: I think firing Hope in 2012 was the best thing Purdue and Morgan Burke could have done with the football program after 2009 (note the date here). Replacing him with Hazell? Well..the jury is out but it's obvious that he isn't the solution...
But of course, with Hazell's 5 win record at Purdue (I don't even want to look at his loss record now), some have talked about how we would have been better off keeping Hope. It was one thing to laugh that off in 2013, and even after 2014.
