A bit of old news, but Purdue AD Morgan Burke finally has been freed of giving a poo poo about football: http://www.hammerandrails.com/2016/8/31/12727582/goodbye-morgan-burke I've been out of touch (largely because of Burke), but if Mike Bobinski ends up giving a poo poo about football and can hire a better coach (shouldn't be hard), 4-8 seasons could be possibilities.  In short, Darrell Hazell is loving gone.

It’s a matter of how quickly we can get the fans back. The fans are there. We’ve disappointed them for three years. It’s on us to shut up and produce.” quote:He sees the ceiling at $5 million more. That’s it. Nevermind that said additional $5 million, if it dropped into the bank out of the sky tomorrow, would still have Purdue dead last in the Big Ten in football profit (Rutgers, in 13th, made $6.8 million in 2014-15 WITHOUT the benefit of a full big Ten media rights share). Is amazing. They made 1.5 million on football last year. How does someone this incompetent keep that job for 23 years? Like, I don't really expect Purdue to be a national power or anything but that's like losing money running a casino.

Yeah, and we're an entirely new staff with a first time head coach and quite literally 71% of the offense graduated, transferred, or declared. I had a feeling yesterday was going to blow rear end.

And it's not like the offense was good before Cam. go3 posted:wont firing Les cost them a fortune It'll be around 4 million by the end of the season, so no, not that much. Grittybeard posted:Yeah, but they have a fortune to spend (or could beg it from boosters) if they should decide to do that. If the team keeps playing like that, particularly on offense, he's absolutely gone. And it will, because that's what Les Miles teams look like.

TECHNICALLY WEEK ONE ISN'T OVER YET AND I'M STUCK AT WORK SO WHAT THE HELL LET'S DO THE INDEPENDENT COACHES UNTOUCHABLE None. SOLID Brian Kelly - Notre Dame. Even after yesterday's loss. In reality Kelly has Notre Dame nationally relevant again, with an appearance in the BCS Championship and coming within a couple plays of running the table again last year. As Twitter noted Notre Dame's last few losses have been one-possession affairs, so it's not like the Irish are getting crushed. What keeps him from being in Untouchable is that no one at Notre Dame is ever going to be Untouchable; Knute Rockne could come back from the dead and he'd get canned if he went 8-5. Moving on would be a mistake on either side, but Notre Dame being high on their own supply is what makes it a possibility no matter the recent record. UNDETERMINED Kalini Sitake - BYU. Beat Arizona at a neutral site to start the year, so far so good. Should continue the pipeline of deeply-religious Polynesians and grown-rear end married men coming off a Mormon mission suiting up for the Fightin' Ty Detmers. Mark Whipple - UMass. The Minutemen got kicked out of the MAC for refusing to park their entire bus there, so they enter the wilderness to play for pennies. It's hard to get too mad at Whipple for whatever happens; best case is that the Big 12 raids the 'Murica and UMass gets to slide in, worst case is that no one wants the Minutemen and financials force them back down to the FCS level. In-between then, Whipple and Co. will travel the world and job for cash. HEATING UP Todd Monken - Army. Six wins in two years wasn't a good look entering the year. It's real easy to say that West Point's demands make it prohibitive to field a decent football team now that it's no longer the 1940's, but Navy/Air Force manage to have competitive teams so I'm curious as to what makes Army's situation that much more severe. That being said, they knocked off Temple this past weekend so things are trending up. One game at the beginning of the year isn't enough to undo all the negative things Charlie Strong, so we'll have to see if Monken can make the Cadets respectable again or if someone else will have to try and dethrone the Navy juggernaut. HE'S ON FIRE! None. Yet.

There was basically no way OSU wasn't going to roll them. BK's at ND for as long as he wants to be but that's a weird rear end place and I can see how coaches can get burned out being there.

Looking at the P5 coaches I put in the NBA Jam categories: ACC: NC State creamed Williams & Mary, BC lost in Dublin but didn't look completely terrible, and Wake limited Tulane to three points, which is good, but only scored seven points, which is bad. No changes. Big Ten: Indiana won at FIU which they should have, Nebraska crushed Fresno St., Penn State handled Kent State, and Purdue actually beat someone. No change. Big 12: Tech demolished Stone Cold Stephen F. Austin, Baylor annihilated Northwestern State but on-field probably won't determine Grobe's fate, Strong got a much-needed win over Notre Dame, and WF'NVU took care of a Mizzou team that doesn't know what they're doing. Move Strong to Heating Up. Pac-12: Oregon State lost a winnable game at Minnesota which the Gophers tried to gift to them with that Midwestern hospitality, Colorado didn't just win a big game but creamed Colorado State. No change but a swap is possible. SEC; Miles is now out of Undecided and straight up in He's On Fire! Auburn lost to Clemson despite Clemson trying to Clemson, Georgia handled UNC, SC farted their way to a win over Vandy, Tennessee deserved to lose to App State, Kentucky completely poo poo themselves against Southern Miss, A&M is the only team with a decent win and even that came after a collapse. He's On Fire! is now Miles, Malzahn, Jones, Mason, Stoops, and Sumlin, and there might be consideration for bert with his lousy win. It's not inconceivable that the SEC might turn over half of their coaches, which would be fitting for the worst P5 conference.

Their defense looks fine and did a hell of a job considering Tulane had 35 minutes of possession. I know they basically had nothing in terms of recruits until a bit starting last year, but good lord that offense has literally not improved at all.

This deserves its own post. Most coaches have contracts saying "hey, don't say dumb poo poo about the school" and such. Relatively standard stuff. Barry Odom's all but puts a gun to his head if he so much as thinks of stepping out of line with Mizzou.quote:One is related to the tone of Odom’s public statements, the other to his treatment of players. The details of the provisions are distinct not only from those in former Missouri coach Gary Pinkel’s contract, but also from those in most — if not all — contracts for head coaches at public schools in the NCAA’s Football Bowl Subdivision.
