Purdue is 2-2 after a loss to Cincinnati and a 50-7 pasting at the hands of Maryland. Darrell Hazell is 8-32 as head coach. No four- or five-star prospects are committed to its 2017 recruiting class.
And yet somehow, things keep getting worse for the Boilermakers. Here's an anonymous former player railing against the program.
From hammerandrails.com:
The Purdue football coaches, players, and administration are living in a welfare state. The Big Ten is playing the role of the government and the Boilermakers are the citizens waiting for their chance to be fed. We’re taking the money to upgrade our facilities, great, but that will only allow us to catch up to the rest of our conference opponents until we are inevitably passed again and left wondering how we are going to impress recruits with the “stuff” they care about these days. We didn’t have recovery hot/cold tubs until the Mackey Renovation was completed. Our training room looked like something out of the first Major League movie.
This culture starts at the top of the university, trickles into the athletics director’s office, and slowly works its way into the locker rooms. It’s a losing culture and Purdue fans should be sick of it. It’s the false narrative of “yeah we’re losing on the football field but we still make money” story that they’ve been trying to sell to us along with those $10 north end zone tickets. It’s been going on for too long so let’s take a look at where it all changed.
We made the cheap hire with Danny Hope. No big deal right? Wrong. If you remember the final two candidates for that job were Hope and Paul Chryst. One is happily off the grid and the other is leading the eleventh ranked team in the country.
At least Rutgers hired Chris Ash. At this point, can Purdue be considered anything other than bottom of the Big Ten barrel?
