The Boilermakers finished the 2013 season 1–11, one of the worst seasons in Purdue history. The Boilermakers went 3-9 in 2014, 2-10 in 2015, and were 3-3 in 2016 when on October 16, 2016, Hazell was fired with a record of 9-33 with the Boilermakers, including 3-24 in conference play. He was replaced on an interim basis by wide receivers coach and recruiting coordinator Gerad Parker, who went 0-6 to end the season 3-9.
The Boilermakers started the season with a 42–7 loss to the Cincinnati Bearcats at Nippert Stadium. The following week against Indiana State, Hazell won his first game at Purdue 20–14. After the Boilermakers started 1–2, and Rob Henry continuing to struggle in the team's 4th game, Danny Etling was thrust into a game with Purdue trailing 27–10 to Northern Illinois. Etling finished the game with 241 yards passing while throwing two touchdowns and two interceptions. During the ensuing week, Etling was named the starter for the Boilermakers. With Etling at quarterback, Hazell showed he was playing the 2013 season to gain experience for younger players.
Look: Purdue Fans Not Happy With Bowl Game Report
On September 20, 2008, in a game versus Central Michigan, Tiller won his 85th game at Purdue to become the winningest coach in school history, topping the previous mark set by Jack Mollenkopf (1956–1969). Tiller's "basketball on grass" offense was well renowned for its ability to score and score effectively, befuddling opposing defenses. This was especially the case when Drew Brees ran the team from 1997 to 2000. Tiller's Purdue squads were shut out only once, by Penn State, in a 12–0 defeat at Ross–Ade Stadium on October 28, 2006. For the 1922 season, Purdue hired Missouri Tigers football coach, James Phelan. Phelan lead the 1929 Boilermakers to a perfect 8-0 record and what is to date their only ever outright Big Ten Title.
Colletto came to Purdue with the goal of recruiting kids from the Chicago area, and keeping Purdue's quarterback tradition trending onward. During his introduction press conference, he stated that at practice field, he planned to install a small cemetery in which he would place a tombstone for every school Purdue upset or beat on the road. Colletto also provided up change on offense, as he brought his I formation with him from Ohio State. During his first season as head coach, the Boilermakers improved winning two more games than they had the year before, and freshman tailback Corey Rogers was named the Big Ten Freshman of the Year.
How to Watch Purdue Football's Home Finale Against Northwestern
Purdue had most recently been a part of the Leaders Division of the Big Ten, but moved to the West Division in 2014 due to conference expansion. Purdue has participated in 20 bowl games throughout its history, compiling an 11–9 record. Purdue did not appear frequently in post-season play from 1967 to 1984, but they played well, winning 4 of 5 bowl games including four consecutive wins between 1967 and 1980. When Tiller arrived in 1997, Purdue went to eight consecutive bowl games, but only won three of the eight bowl games. Tiller would lead the Boilermakers to a total of 10 bowl games in his 12 seasons as head coach.
He stayed in that job until 1982, when he unexpectedly resigned citing "personal reasons". In 1890, Clinton L. Hare became the third head football coach at Purdue. Purdue won each of its two home games in convincing fashion, shutting out Wabash, 54–0, on October 24 and Illinois, 62–0, on November 22. Purdue suffered its worst loss of the season on November 1 in Ann Arbor, falling to Michigan by a score of 34–6. Hare's squad also dropped their season opener in Chicago on October 18 to the Chicago University Football Club, 10–6, and their season finale on November 27 against Hare's former team, Butler, by a score of 12–10.
Breaking: Longtime College Football Coach Fired Sunday
He led the 1901 Purdue team to a 4–4–1 record but finished the season with consecutive losses to Notre Dame, Illinois, and Northwestern. At the end of the 1901 season, Purdue opted not to renew his services. In March 1902, the Indianapolis News reported, "He is known to be a good coach, but he turned out a loser last year and Purdue wants a change." In four seasons as Purdue's head coach, Balliet compiled a record of 22–10–2. On October 31, 1903, 14 members of the 1903 squad were killed in Indianapolis, Indiana when the train they were riding collided with a coal train.
The last time these two teams met was on Nov. 20, 2021, at Wrigley Field in Chicago. Aidan O'Connell threw three touchdown passes to wide receiver Milton Wright, who led the team with eight catches for 213 yards receiving, in a win. The Boilermakers never trailed and scored on their first two possessions in the second half. College football historian Parke H. Davis retroactively named his 1931 team, which finished 9-1, as a co-national champion. Purdue University is a land-grant university (or Agricultural and Mechanical (A&M) university) created through the Morrill Act of 1862.
In 2001 Purdue University began a $70 million renovation, which led to a reduced seating capacity of 62,500. The current capacity is 57,236, with standing room for over 60,000. Stuart Field was dedicated on April 16, 1892, and named for Charles B. And William V. Stuart, two brothers who served on the university's board of trustees. Originally a seven-acre (2.8 ha) field with 800 seats, by the 1910s it was expanded to twice that area and a seating capacity of five thousand. Under Tiller and his spread offense, Purdue annually had one of the top offenses in the Big Ten.
Similarly, Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell has stayed in Ames longer than most people expected, and coming off a 4-8 season, his window for a major job may be closing. He’s an Ohio native who played at Mount Union and had coached only in Ohio from 2003 to 2015 before leaving for Iowa State. He’s done a remarkable job with the Cyclones, achieving the highest level of sustained success in more than a century. He went 9-3 in 2020 with a Fiesta Bowl win and beat Oklahoma multiple times. If he feels he’s hit a ceiling and wants to get into the Big Ten, perhaps Purdue could be a fit.
The Dawgs are 11th nationally in scoring this year and quarterback Stetson Bennett developed into a Heisman Trophy finalist. In his one stint as a head coach, Monken inherited a 0-12 Southern Miss team in 2013 and produced a 9-5 season by 2015 with a division championship before leaving for an NFL coordinator job. The 56-year-old Illinois native has seen up close how to run a program in the Nick Saban/Kirby Smart mold. This was changed in 2006 to a sledgehammer with the slant "P" in the hammer's head . In the 2006 game against the Indiana State Sycamores, Purdue wore a throwback uniform from 1966, in honor of the 40th anniversary of the school's first Rose Bowl team.
The "Granddaddy of Them All" reportedly prefers No. 8 Penn State as its Big Ten pick over No. 5 Ohio State, which played in last year's game. Brohm was a star quarterback at Trinity High School in Louisville and stayed home for college football before an NFL career. Redshirt junior running back Evan Hull is the focal point of Northwestern's offense, accounting for 755 yards rushing as well as 509 yards receiving so far this season. However, the Wildcats have only been able to score 15.3 points per game, which ranks last in the conference.
Last Sunday, Purdue accepted an invite to the Jan. 2 Citrus Bowl against LSU, the program's fourth bowl appearance under Brohm. Northwestern opened the 2022 college football season in Dublin, taking on a Big Ten opponent in Nebraska. The Wildcats took advantage of an unsuccessful onside kick attempt before escaping the overseas contest with a win. They haven't been able to win a game since, and have been on the losing end of four one-score games.
Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm and the team arrive to Ross-Ade Stadium prior to a NCAA football game between the Purdue Boilermakers and Indiana Hoosiers, Saturday, Nov. 27, 2021 in West Lafayette. WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue football, among four teams tied atop the Big Ten West, looks to take care of business in the final two games of the regular season to have a chance to play for a conference championship. Purdue (6-4, 4-3 Big Ten) enters this week as a 19.5-point favorite in a matchup against Northwestern (1-9, 1-6).
Throughout his career, Herrmann would break the Big Ten's all-time career passing yards and passing touchdowns before his senior season. After a disappointing 1981 season, Young resigned from his position as head coach at Purdue, citing his desire to concentrate on athletic administration. Former Purdue player and assistant coach Bob DeMoss was promoted to head coach in 1970.
