Oh thank god. I don’t want Purdue to have any ties to our program. Is there anybody from Bret’s staff still left?

Next one says "prepare 3 envelopes," right?
Based on conversations I had with Nebraska fans Friday night, they’re not particular about who gets fired. They want heads to roll.
Sadly, as Illinois fans over the years, we can sympathize with them.
I wouldn’t mind brining Kane back. Just not as a dc
Doesn’t make sense why hire him in the first place

Maryland started the trend by blaming and firing a coordinator. Then realized the truer problem was a level above. Now Purdue and Michigan. Will those programs follow the same path?
Purdue has a much better team than in years past. The reason they won't make a bowl game (or even get close to one), is they played #11 Wake Forrest and #3 Notre Dame in the non-conference.
It's the #1 way to ruin a program that's a tier below the heavy hitters.
Penn State is 5-4 and played 3 cupcakes.

They are also looking at going 3-9. Even if they had two easier non-con games, they would be 5-7.
I'd be ok if Mich doesn't follow it and flounders for a few more years.

5-7 is middling mediocrity. 3-9 says you suck.

Imagine if Bret had an affair with a staffer, got fired for cause, and Josh chose Hauck to replace him as head coach. That's Michigan football right now.
Bielema is responsible for half the coordinator firings in the B10 thus far:
Utah head coach is a lot different than being the Montana head coach
