Hopeless in West Lafayette? Oh, say it isn't so!! Sounds like speculation at this point.

God do I hate that mustachioed hillbilly F%$k! Almost as much as Bert...
We can't stop here; this is bat country...
That article is purely speculation, but the storyline is "picking up steam"

Nice. Happy trails Danny.

Seems a bit quick. I wonder if the B1G and Delaney are putting pressure on these schools to start spending those network funds on program upgrades?
Who is out there for Purdue to get (or Illinois/Minnesota for that matter).
Petersen won't leave Boise for a school like Purdue. Anyone in the MAC? Solich? Hazel? Do you go with a big name coordinator like Kirby Smart?
Obviously very early in the process, but:
B1G FAIL
Dykes would be solid.
I agree about Dykes but the rest of those names... Woof. Plus Pudue isn't going to be good recruiting nationally and does Dykes have a midwest connection?
There were rumors that Illinois was going to fire Beckman... Probably would be smart to hold onto him for another season.
Other names being floated around aren't much better:
Hazell, Randy Fichtner, Chuck Martin (http://coachingsearch.com/home/1819-danny-hope-will-not-return-some-potential-candidates-to-replace-him.html)
Who, who, who, who & who?

How soon they forget the epic Little Cesaer's Bowl win vs Western Michigan less than a year ago.
Hahahahaha! It's not what you did for me yesterday... which by the way was beating Indiana 56-35.

...sorry, I just couldn't resist!
I'd love for a good young coach like Hazzel to get in the B1G. I'd love to end up with Charlie Strong somewhere in the conference too, but I don't think there's a job worth taking for him. the only other B1G job open will be what, MAYBE Minnesota if Kill retires(which I don't even know if he's considering that)
Butch Jones is a solid coach too, I don't think he'd be a horrible fit at Purdue. There are a lot of jobs coming open. Hopefully, they stay away from out staff!
