There's only 65 P-5 HC positions. You pass on one there may not be another.That very well may be career suicide. Purdue has always hired up-and-coming coaches then never does anything more for the program in terms of resources and facilities.

Faust. I can't think of another school making a worse choice.Agree. I think in the coaching business you have to take the opportunities as they arise especially if you are a young coach wanting to move up. There are upsides (Nehlen) and downsides (Faust).

There’s no doubt there are challenges. The stadium and other facilities need major upgrades. It may be the worst job in the BIG. But it is a job in the BIG. If he can even be competitive there it would be a notch in his favor. Plus, he just got a $3mil/year raise.It's Purdue.
Yes, I'm sure Hazell is still cashing his checks and all, but he gets to likely start over as an assistant before he gets another crack at head coaching somewhere. Brohm's going to have the deck stacked against him and very few have managed .500 against those odds. Hazell was a hot hire just like Brohm.There’s no doubt there are challenges.

Remind me again how long ago Brees was QB for them. I'm sure Purdue loves anything north of 6 wins, but they are an academic school first and foremost. Athletics are not a priority. If Brohm wins more than 6, he should take the first job offer he gets and leave there before his career is dashed by the mediocrity that permeates that program.It wasn't that long ago Purdue was in the Rose Bowl with Drew Brees. They have a rich history of QBs and they play in the Big 10 west.
If he can bring back the Joe Tiller air raid and win 7-9 regularly he'll be loved in West Lafayette.
Purdue has a:
601–553–48 overall record
9-8 Bowl record
12 conference championships
20 All Americans
Not that bad overall.
