Steubenhoosier Posted January 9, 2021 Report Share Posted January 9, 2021 So, Harbaugh has been extended for 4 years... at a pay cut. Way to go Jim. You are my mentor for climbing the career ladder 🙄🙄🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no way I could be a D1 athlete and take organic chemistry. Chem classes are probably some of the hardest classes I took in college. Kudos to you my friend.

Chem classes are probably some of the hardest classes I took in college. Kudos to you my friend. I had a spring semester when I took organic chemistry, physics, and biology and had games every weekend. Most of our road trips were 10+ hour bus rides where we'd leave Thursday afternoon and get back Monday mornings around 4 or 5 and have class at 8. It was absolutely brutal. I'm glad we don't have many seniors who have to make that decision on adding a last minute 5th or 6th year. I think this season was incredibly important. A lot of players would do an extra year to come back to our team after the year we had and how we're set up for next year. Some of the other teams in the conference, probably not as much. Would you really want to come back for an extra year of Harbaugh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stlboiler23 Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 We just hired Mark Hagen back to Purdue. Was bummed when he left and glad he’s back. For those who still follow him FYI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I was never much of a Hagen fan. I thought our DL play was pretty mediocre while he was here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a year or two during both stints? It’d be like faulting our d-line coach who left for Illinois after only being here a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone's position group, that they coach, is mediocre... That's on them (and the HC). None of us were upset when Hagen left, either time. TA LBers were absolutely awesome in the first year he coached them. Jason Jones S's were fantastic in the first year he coached them. Our special teams were much improved the first year Teegardin coached them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leathernecks Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 I don't think he's necessarily a bad coach, but in his time here, he just didn't seem like he moved the needle one way or another. I know I wasn't disappointed to see him go. At best he had average recruiting and average coaching. I think we're better off with Peoples, but with Hagen having spent so much time at PU already, maybe that is a better fit for him.
