Hope announcement to be made official in an hour

The intense Danny Hope will not be wearing these glasses at his presser later today.


Danny Hope will be named as Purdue's next coach at 3:30...I would think it'd be covered on ESPNU, but according to Purdue Sports, it's not going to be. I don't think they'll be any announcements about assistant coaches, but I'd love to hear what is going to happen with the staff.

Stay tuned...now get back to your Timboob Friday.

I hope he wears the backwards adjustable hat one the sidelines next season.

I also hope Spack remains DC and Jim Chaney comes back from the Rams to take of the OC duties.

Well I hope that Vinny Sutherland comes back and takes over return duties.

Spack needs to go. He cannot scheme to save his life. It's like he's capable of installing a base defense and never deviates from that... except to make it worse.

Let's take that Nickel base and turn it into full-fledged prevent D. Yay!

He's not a good coordinator. There's talent on defense, but you'd never know it after watching the second halves of both CMU games. I blame those performances on Spack.

I agree with Tim on Spack...and offensively, it's pretty obvious that Legg & Z weren't the best possible options. I don't know if I want Chaney back, but I do think he'd be an improvement.

We'll see.

I hope Z stays to develop our Qb talent.

According to the article on Purdue Sports.com, Hope was really popular with former players. They have statements from Brees, Orton, Roosavelt Colvin, Matt Light, etc. What I want to know is how they contacted all those guys to get their thoughts on Hope so quickly.

Jimmy...me thinks they were asking those guys their opinion over the past week or so.
