The arrogance and stupidity this man exudes is palpable. Honestly, if Morgan Burke would have thrown a dart at a map of the U.S. and searched for Offensive Coordinators within a 100 mile radius of where it hit, his chances of finding someone better than Nord would be at 100% Because Purdue ALWAYS finds a way to hire the worst of the bunch. And he is (and I think by a very long shot) THE WORST O.C. in Division 1 football....PERIOD!!!BoilerBloodlinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07056897537313305905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-41055599503012353192012-10-19T15:59:26.788-04:002012-10-19T15:59:26.788-04:00Nord doesn't care what fans think about his of...Nord doesn't care what fans think about his offensive decisions.

He lacks fire. He plays like a freshman. You watch him and you see a lackluster, mediocre performer.<br /><br />Marve may have fire, but he doesn't have a reliable leg to stand on.<br /><br />My issue with Gary Nord and Danny Hope is that if TerBush is their man, why in the world is he replaced by a sidekick time and again to bail him and the team out. If Marve is the solution then give him the ball when he isn't forced to play catch up and throw all the time.<br /><br />Watching Purdue against Wisconsin was painful.

With the lack of results we've seen, I can definitely understand saying you no longer support the staff. <br /><br />However, it's BoilerWhat's comment that seems borderline disturbing: <br />"I have no issue with folks discontinuing their support for the football program after reading stuff like this." <br /><br />If this has reaches the point where people are proud of no longer supporting Purdue football as a whole, it's a serious problem. Change probably does need to happen soon, I agree...but hopefully everyone still remains Boilermakers. We will rise again.jbrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11840056946076928538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-36610232763767020192012-10-19T14:28:24.561-04:002012-10-19T14:28:24.561-04:00Reminds me of Kim Jong Il... hitting 15 of 18 hol...Reminds me of Kim Jong Il... hitting 15 of 18 holes-in-one with no one there to see. <br /><br />14-34 record as a head coach... obviously his experience allows him to be this arrogant.<br /><br />Nord doesn't have to TRY to get me to hate him, mission accomplished.Boilergalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07229938453273368017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-34070283877135316192012-10-19T14:19:12.952-04:002012-10-19T14:19:12.952-04:00zlionsfan,

I understand not wanting to say "Yeah, Caleb isn't getting the job done, but what choice do we have?" You can't say that at any level and expect anything other than abject hatred from your players.<br /><br />But you also can't say what amounts to "Mediocre play at quarterback is great, isn't it, everybody?" Four-ish yards an attempt might win games if Purdue had a running game that could rack up 300 yards a game against Big Ten defenses. They don't. <br /><br />Tibesar, on the other hand, does exactly what I think a coordinator should do: he says general stuff that amounts to "yes, you're right, we need to improve" without calling out any individual player or pretending that someone had an All-American-level game or two. <br /><br />I normally don't advocate midseason firing, mostly because they don't provide short-term fixes (how many teams have an assistant coach on the staff who's actually better at a different role than one of the other coaches who's already in that role?), but after what will likely be a debacle on Saturday, I'd be fine with Burke firing Nord. I don't care who replaces him, whether it's Hope, Cornell Jackson, or a randomly-selected Ross-Ade Brigade member, but it's got to be better than this. <br /><br />After all, Nord's been in the business for more than three decades, and he's still apparently unable to recognize when he's not getting the job done. Would it really be worse to have an interim OC, or even no OC at all?zlionsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02966540737106797756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-26308391669959875462012-10-19T13:04:02.310-04:002012-10-19T13:04:02.310-04:00If only we could play our defense in the games.

It's all finger pointing now and it should be, all at the coaches. The stadium is embarrassingly empty for live Big 10 games and Morgan Burke shows he is okay with being average. I feel bad for the recruits that visited this past weekend, sitting I'm the rain and watching Hope, Nord, ext put a subpar game plan together. If this is the best team we have had in awhile I cringe at next year. Regardless onwards to the Buckeyes, at least I am only seeing 53-17 predictions for that one.Rob Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09128036995201565341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-51091912743437503802012-10-19T12:14:22.877-04:002012-10-19T12:14:22.877-04:00Totally agree.“From coaches to players to whatever...Totally agree.“From coaches to players to whatever, you’ve got to do your job and players depend on (you) doing what you’re supposed to do. It's a business and a sport. The business side gets ugly sometimes. The players deserve to be paid for their skill and hard work, the owners deserve to make a decent profit on their investment, the fans deserve to watch a great game! Nord really needs to eat some humble pie. *************/////*********//////*****Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12916965981991482068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-51785976832265474552012-10-19T12:14:21.502-04:002012-10-19T12:14:21.502-04:00And Purdue's "Culture of Losing" liv...And Purdue's "Culture of Losing" lives on...CalTravelGuyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058483396363683035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36696801.post-83815808269890169432012-10-19T11:56:25.796-04:002012-10-19T11:56:25.796-04:00My head just exploded reading that.
