Let's see, we return like 9 starters from last year's defense, and the stats in the red zone are nearly identical to last year. And its not just coach did it. Its actually looking at the situation and forming my opinion. Its a lot better than "We lost, blame the head coach". And not everyone disagrees with me, just people on this board. Hope has proven he knows a hell of a lot more about football and coaching than you or I or anyone else on this board. |

“He’s always been a guy — maybe to a fault — he would always try to do what I said. That seems like something simple in coaching, but those are the guys I hang my hat on. We’ve had some guys in our program, we had a couple guys that felt I had a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. And they were right — I do have a bias towards E’Twaun Moore. I like guys that go to class, that are academic All-Americans, that come early, that stay late, that love the game of basketball. I am biased towards those guys. And I’m biased towards Rob Hummel. But I’m also biased towards their habits, their work ethic, and how they carry themselves." "I’d take him to the ends of the earth — I’d want him playing for me.” - Bo Ryan on Robbie Hummel

So starters can't improve? get worse? The Bears returned 10 starters on defense from the #2 defense in the league, and the next year were close to last. Things can change. You seriously seem so blind sometimes. That same defense gave up what? like 38? 45? points to ND last year. Gave up 24 this year? how does that fit into your logic? And Hope hasn't proven a God Damn thing. Charlie Weis is a head coach, and a lot will argue that he doesn't know football too entirely well. Just because he was the OL coach for Tiller for a few years, and coached some div 2 school and purdue offered him a job doesn't mean he's some football genius. Some HS coaches could prolly out coach div 2 guys. Edited by BoilerBasketball2008, Sep 29 2009, 11:39 PM.

About half of the game without Clausen, no Allen, no Floyd. The defense gave up 31 to ND last year. Allen had 17 carries for 134 yards, Floyd caught 6 balls for 100 yards, and Clausen was 20-35 for 275 and 3 TDs. |

So were not going to address that players cant become better or worse during the course of a season or several seasons, gotcha. So right now, our LBs are pretty young, so the next few years, we shouldn't expect any improvements on the LB front. |

That is a great page for statistics. Thanks for the link. Where do you see the numbers are the same as last year? Last year it looks like Purdue's defense was 4th in the league only giving up a TD 51% of the time a team entered the red zone against them. That is a lot lower than 70%. In fact, last year there wasn't a single team in the league that gave up a 70% TD rate to other teams in the red zone. It's almost a guarantee that number is abnormally high and won't hold true for Purdue the rest of the season. |

Or just blind disapproval over a lost football game. The first time I looked at the stats, I used the number % on the site, forgetting that included FGs. I'd love to see the TD% of when the ball is inside the 5 yard line. I'd be willing to bet its closer to 80% than 50%. Its not blind trust. I've given you my reasoning behind, its not just "Coach knows best". I think the way the scenario played out, Hope made the right decision. If our coach would ever coach like some of you (hoping for the other team to mess up), then I'd immediately call for his head. Hell, all of you have completely overlooked my disapproval of the defensive playcalling (the opposite of coach knows best) all the way down the field, something that people should actually be upset about. And the fact that we didn't blitz on 3rd or 4th and goal, another playcalling mistake. |

The guy picked last in gym class

You like citing the 'inside the 5 yard line' stat, but don't even cite the 'already used up first and second down' stat. |

Given that only one person on this entire board even reads GomerPixie's posts makes his opinion as invalid as anyone this side of Norm Ellenberger. |
