[QUOTE="Deleted member 746094, post: 1419069"] More of a UofI basketball fan, but follow football close enough to know that Lovie wasn’t the right hire and today is proving that. Felt his hire was a bit of a publicity stunt and lack of improvement is making me feel u may be proven right. Purdue has some good athletes, but we look 1) undisciplined 2) unsure 3) unathletic (comparably). At this point in Lovie’s tenure and with his resume the penalties and missed assignments are completely unacceptable. I understand the lack of talent/athletes, but mental mistakes reflect directly on the coaches! Lovie’s defensive scheme is great when you have studs in your front 7 and playmakers in the secondary. We have neither and it showed today...glaring! Badgers may put 70 on us. Need to put your players in a scheme that doesn’t expose them and our players are running around clueless. I agree with most in that Bush is trying to literally carry the offense every snap and looks less than competent as a passer. Our RBs are tough runners and we don’t feed them the ball. We will see 8 in the box the rest of the year as we have no weapons outside the hashes. Give one of the young QBs the chance and call plays forcing them to hand the ball off. I think Lovie gets another year. For many reasons not performance related. He just isn’t the right guy and it is showing. Time will tell... [/QUOTE]
