No Link.

Iowa was the straw that broke the camels back. Overheard at the firing, "Kirk did everything to help you take the lead and you STILL looked like a chump!!"

Kinda like Bo getting fired at Nebraska just after an Iowa game.

Wow. Greg Davis could turn them around tomorrow!

Hate to lose him, but I understand.

Very Good

At the hands of the Kirfer? That's got to be an all time low in Purdue football history.

I guess if you want to let other coaches know early there is an opening so be it but only 5 games to go.

Its one of those things about college football that sometimes a good head coach takes a job where it is tough to win or where the administration doesn't care about football. So a great coach like Hazell can't wind up fired for not winning enough when he was doing a good job with what he had.

Maybe the coaches getting fired after we play them is kinda like sympathy pains. They are trying to relate to the Iowa fan base. "Here maybe this will help. We will fire our coach and give you hope that these things really do happen in real life."

Tom Herman to Purdue?

Tom Herman to Purdue?

I'm sure they hope so but why would he do that? He's gonna have much better offers than that.

 

[HawkeyeWalker]

The question is, do they or did they have feelers out for a replacement? Or do they truly feel "well, it can't get worse".

In Purdue's case, they may not have anywhere to go but up. But with Indiana looking to be on the rise, and competing with both them and ND for in state or regional talent....

Ugh, what a crap position to be in.

What's that say about Iowa that ADs expect better outcomes against them?

Tom Herman to Purdue?

Tom Herman can't coach USC, LSU and Texas at the same time or can he?

Does PJ Fleck even want the Purdue job? I am guessing he is the first guy they call.

Neither nebby nor Purdue firing their coaches had anything to do with Iowa except their timing. Beating Iowa saves neither of their jobs.

I was being facetious, no chance that guy goes near Purdont.

I think fleck is shooting way higher than Purdue. I think it'll be Brock spack from Illinois state.

Whenever I hear of someone being fired, I feel bad. Then I remember he probably got more in his buyout than I will make in the next 5 years of working. Poor him.
