The interim coach is basically auditioning for a bigger gig, trying to show the Purdue suits that he deserves to be HC... and how better to do that than to upset a Top 10 team in his very first game?

Rob Powers

You don't know what you are going to get now. New interim head coach means all current tendencies go out the window. That makes our scouting tougher. It is still the same talent, but I think it increases the odds of something crazy happening.

loosing a coach divides the team...

Dale Paulsen

If Purdue had a better team to start with, i think this would help get them fired up, since the team has limited legacy to fall back on it probably hurts the team moral and makes this challenge even greater. NU can't afford to take them lightly though!

The defense has made progress. The offense not so much. The real problem is Frost's dedication to Martinez. Adrian is a great guy, but his minuses exceed his pluses.

Toby Leach

The production was there from those coaches. Better to make the decision then, so you can still have a positive impact with recruiting.

Randy Wolf

I imagine the transfer portal had a lot to do with the timing.

Nate Stineman

It had to be done and it clear that things are going to happen at NU.

Frank Johnson

The team was not going to become better with their existing staff. Make the cut and start improving.

If you are not going to make new hires before the end of the season anyway, what was the purpose in firing them now? It will be interesting to see how the offense performs, but I can't see this as beneficial.
