Davidson has very high academic standards like Rice. The 5 years before hiring Abell, Davidson went 7-43. Abell went 47-28 over 7 years. He runs a modified triple option on offense. They led FCS in rushing the last 4 years. From what I've seen of Abell, I'd expect him to largely bring his staff over from Davidson.

That is a fucking meh hire if ive ever seen one

 

Rice keeps making these “i know something you dont/im the smartest guy in the room” hires for some dumb reason

It's probably one of the toughest jobs in the FBS. People with options are exactly jumping at the chance to go there. Army, Air Force, and Navy have shown running a triple option type offense can work.

That pooch punt was the dumbest idea I've ever seen and he should have probably been fired by Davidson for it, instead gets a most likely sizable raise by going to Rice

After UCF turned the ball over four times in a 28-14 loss to Utah, Gus Malzahn saw the writing on the wall and jumped ship to become the offensive coordinator at Florida State. Mixing Malzahn's QB history with Florida State's run of awful QB play by anyone not named Jordan Travis really sets the stage for transfer Thomas Castellanos to lead the country with 106 interceptions next year in Tallahassee.

Ryan Walters out at Purdue.  $9mm buyout.

1-11 this year.  0-9 in conference.  Lost 66-0 to Indiana yesterday.  I predicted around 50+ earlier in the year.
Other losses of note:
Notre Dame: 66-7 
Nebraska: 28-10 (had more penalty yards than offense yards mid of 4th)
Wisconsin: 52-6
Oregon: 35-0
tOSU: 45-0
PSU: 49-10

Purdue should drop its football program down to FCS. They are one of a handful of schools that should - they have no hope of ever being competitive in the Big 10 in the NIL era. They’re burning money pretending otherwise.

Fuck it, that's probably the type of hire Rice should make. Arguably they should just drop football, but if they want to keep trying as the 2nd smallest school in FBS, they will be limited to  washed up retreads or up and comers. At least the up and comer might get you some  Cignetti type success for a couple of years. Run the triple option, I  dont hate it.

I disagree.  Purdue is one of the 20 or so athletic departments that do not take subsidies from the university.  In the past 35 years, they've had some uncompetitive eras (Akers, Colletto, Hazell, Walters) and some competitive eras (Tiller, Hope, Brohm).  Purdue was 8-6 in 2022 and 9-4 in 2021.  That includes wins over #2 Iowa, #3 Michigan State, and two more top-25 upsets - and that was not very long ago.

I attended both the UND and Nebraska games this year.  Both were sold out.  Northwestern also sold out.  The other home games were within 4k of capacity.  The support is there.  The product this year was bad - and they took a step toward fixing it today.

The right coaching staff (see Indiana) can turn around a perennial doormat rather quickly these days.  They lost Scourton (10 sacks in 2023) to aTm (6 tackles last night) and several other players to the likes of Aggy, Vandy, and MSU.  Deion Burks (top WR) left for OU.  To me that was a sign that Walters was in trouble: top players leaving.  It may be supporting your point of NIL, though, but we shall see.  A competent coaching staff gets at least 5 wins out of the roster there.  And a competent coaching staff also recruits better and builds a program.
