The bar for the program is in hell. People were ready to build the statue after he beat Illinois 2 weeks ago

I agree that the bar is in hell but that’s where it is and Rome wasn’t built in a day. Drew Brees aside Purdue isn’t going to be bringing in a year 1 playoff coach

I don't think he will build Rome (a 6 win team) in 5 years.

He brought back the DC from the previous coaching staff (who was fired before the last HC) and produced likely the worst power conference defence in the country in back to back years.

Winning one or two meaningless B1G games doesn't change anything. He is staring down perpetual 3-9 seasons unless a miracle happens one of these offseasons.

I don't need a playoff coach to be content with the program. I realize Purdue sucks. I just want someone who has a realistic path to around 6 wins most years

Oh I know the Barry O experience. We thought the same and then he rattled off 6 in a row at the end of 2017 and we had a pretty good 2018. We won’t worry about 2019
