Coach Nowlin

They all should feel pressure: That is what they are paid to do is win ball games. There should be pressure. The most pressure, imo will be 2021. Especially if they do have a sub 500 year in 2020 as you all predict. No doubt about that. Just for giggles just because I have time and love debunking my man DT on his wackiness based on not facts: To debunk the other teams you listed relied on Freshman, RS FROSH, or True Soph. Nebraska vs Iowa https://www.huskermax.com/nebraska-football-depth-chart/ Offense: 1 RS FR Center, 1 true Freshman WR: Soph QB Soph LG Defense: 2 Sophs: 1 OLB 1 S NEXT: Illinois: https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/illinois/90705 Offense: 1 true Freshman 1 Transfer Soph from Valpo 1 soph TE Defense: 1 SOPH DE 1 SOPH S NEXT: NW https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/northwestern/91464 Offense: 1 RS Freshman RB 1 soph G 2 total Defense: 1 Freshman DE 1 total NEXT: Minnesota: https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/minnesota/91188 Offense: 1 true Soph WR 2 OL: RS Freshman Guard and True Soph Tackle Defense: 1 SOPH Safety: IU: https://www.ourlads.com/ncaa-football-depth-charts/depth-chart/indiana/90728 Offense: True Frosh LT : SOPH RB Defense: 4 SOPH players and 1 True Freshman PU: Offense: 5 Freshman and Sophomores : Bell and Anderson at WR: 2 OL: Garvin and Miller and true freshman RB Defense: 6 on Defense: Karlaftis and RS Freshman Lawrence Johnson : Soph Jaylen Alexander LB Freshman Jalen Grahmn S RS FR Cory Trice CB, FR Cam Allen S Though, I believe Trice was hurt for the IU game. I am just responding I simply posted: Food for thought with stats of all who IU beat and then folks wanted to talk Purdue, so why not ya know.

I do not Not an excuse, stating facts that Purdue had most freshman, Sophomores in the b10 on their 2 deep. That is a fact. Agree the West is/has improved, I believe Purdue is going to be right there with them. Clearly you all do not, which is fine and dandy just when they do, I expect to see some, WOW, COACH NOWLIN, YOU WERE RIGHT!! I am ready for said Chuck Wagon You also stated that Pat Fitzgerald is going to be the Bears Head Coach Can you tell me how many Freshman started for Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois? I would agree that IU also was very young and I have also stated that IU/PU will continue to be a fun meaningful series, strictly due to Tom Allen's arrival and his impact at the University, you know the same Tom Allen you railroaded against for almost a decade?? fair enough

again, it is mind boggling that grown men are openly questioning decisions of HS students that they have ZERO connection to. Seriously, WHO CARES??

I agree that 2021 absolutely is a year I have circled to see the Boilers in the conversation to get to Indy. No doubt. If folks watched closely, the OL got better as the season went on. Unfortunately, the defense did not, hence the change in DC.

and how do you know how Purdue's Future prospects feel?? If you go thru the Purdue thread, you could see where I spoke about the possibility of Holt be let go.....that happened. If you go thru the Purdue thread, you can see where I questioned not going for the win vs IU I am objective knowing that Purdue played the season with an extreme amount of Freshman and Sophomores, that is not the Norm for B10 teams. That creates a tough winning environment, regardless of how talented some of those youngster are. What would you consider "real" momentum? Still currently have a top 30 class coming in. How is that not "momentum" ? So lets just play this game: What if Purdue actually wins 8+ next year? I really hope to see multiple messages stating how WRONG these "takes: were by the peanut gallery. In the meantime, it just seems like IU fans taking victory laps.....

Its pointless exercise in December of 2019 to predict 2020 wins. I have stated multiple times that with the offensive firepower they have back they will be many games in the 4th quarter, maybe all of them. you Know what many "pundits" said the same thing in year 1 and 2 in regardless of Purdue...... Show me 6 wins ......... blah blah blah.

I believe in player development and off season development that Purdue has in place at their facility and also the staff who tend to these facilities and programs. I have been through the facility 2 times now, seen how they have completely did a make over on how they operate day to day both in season and off season. I believe they will make jumps Offensive Line consistency I believe they will make jumps in DL production and Defensive Back assignment consistency and scheme. I do believe LB position is very scarce at this time heading into offseason. No doubt. I believe these things because I have seen it in action up close and in person, to go along with my fandom, I have mixed the two parts, coach and fan to see how they have changed the culture in West Lafayette and believe that will continue to lead to more success, but I also understand that the team is very much more improved offensively then defensively right now. Getting Neal BACK IN SHAPE and on the field helps inside A LOT Another year to get Karlaftis built into his frame, it is remarkable already how much his body has changed already in a year, a lot more leaner and thick from his HS days. I like the bodies of Freshman Jalen Grahmn and we didn't get to see much of Marvin Grant due to injuries as well, but he will be a RS Freshman next year. Cory Trice also as a RS Sophomore had some nice skills at Corner. I liken it to some high school teams that play young guys, but very talented guys, but play them young which leads to better outcomes in the future. Having all these guys get many reps could be very beneficial starting as soon as 2020. I know I have stated it before, but I will again: If all is healthy heading into week 1 vs Nebraska, their Defense will be hard pressed to keep Boilers off the scoreboard with the lineup they will send out there at all skill spots.

why not 2020?

You know that was the commentary coming out from Hobart as well until Coach Osika seemed to get the ship righted.

I strongly disagree As stated by the current 2020 recruiting class he still has verbal after the 4-8 season. I believe Purdue is on track to be consistent 8-9 win teams each year moving forward and on special years get into double digits wins and berth in B10 Title game 1 poor year playing mostly Freshman and Sophomores and all of sudden his value had plummeted. Interesting

I have ZERO problems with that Why do you care being a clear Purdue Non Supporter? If you do not believe in path of Brohm led Purdue teams, then you should rejoice the money spent. You do understand that extension was 100% connected to keeping him from going to Louisville correct?

Not throwing rocks: Just asking food for thought on what your IU fanbase thinks of the current schedule and schedule in the future. ME personally, I love the challenge of playing Power5 teams, granted they are not powerhouses, for instance Oregon State, unless drastic change is not feared team, but playing VT in a Home and Home series is great, so is getting ND on the schedule. Purdue wants to be a recognizable institution in the B10 football and national landscape, they have made that known with investments in Facilities, HC, assistant Coach contracts and many other to work their way into the deep water if you will. I like that, will it work, time will tell, I believe Purdue is on their way to that deep water.

Coach Holt has been relieved of his duties of Defensive Cordinators Around the Purdue water cooler, lots of issues with landing recruits and Coach Brohm and him disconnect on how he wants his defense ran, Coach Brohm wants more aggressive style all over the field, but that was the case a many key moments this year, ESPECIALLY on 3rd down.

Yes, Dave Sharpe, who left LaPorte to be closer to Indy to work on his foundation with his wife and be an assistant coach down in Indy area. https://jacobsharpefoundation.org/

BINGO !!! WE HAVE A WINNER So many folks who have zero to connection to the family want to determine choices they made. Interesting to say the least

It is very tough to follow such a legend in Coach Sharpe, but I will say that Coach Mike Campbell did very well following the footsteps of Coach Sharpe. Cheers to you Coach Campbell

Purdue had hopes for this JUCO, chose Maryland instead https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/johari-branch-255279

Just saw IU got Dylan Powell, OL who originally committed to Hazel's Boilers, went to Stanford, then transferred out now to IU: I believe 2 years left to play.
