Iowa rolled into West Lafayette Saturday afternoon and tattooed Purdue like a drunken sailor on leave in a foreign country.
The game, which was not as close as the 49-35 margin would indicate and included phrases like, "And that brings out Purdue's third-down defense, which is the worst in the nation," dropped head coach Darrell Hazell to 9-33 in three and a half seasons.
Darrell Hazel concludes his Purdue coaching tenure with the worst winning percentage of any Purdue coach in the last 95 years

Apparently that's not good enough to cut it at Purdue, anymore.
From goldandblack.com:
After managing only a 9-33 record over three-plus seasons, Darrell Hazell is no longer Purdue’s head coach, GoldandBlack.com has learned.
Hazell was fired Sunday, one day after Iowa dominated the Boilermakers 49-35 on Homecoming.
Receivers coach Gerad Parker will be the interim coach. Parker is in his fourth season with the Boilermakers, coming on staff as tight ends coach before moving to coach the receivers last season.

Things won't start easy for Gerad Parker, either. The Boilermakers head to Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday for a 3:30 p.m. ET tilt with the No. 8 Cornhuskers.
