So, Barry Odom?

[Coach Nowlin]

I love the UNLV playbook on College football for the PS5, if that counts for anything.  🙂

 

Seems like the right fit, see how many proven players come with him, obviously his staff etc etc 

Only 48, seems like a blue collar grinder type 

Did a great job keeping Rebels afloat after his star QB bailed on the team

UNLV finished in the final CFB top 25rankings.  This might be a good hire.  We shall see.

Coach Odom's introductory newser:

 

[Coach Nowlin]

No OC to Purdue 

 

Seems like the issue with UNLV QB and NIL was centered around the GO GO malone OC and he will not be making his way to Purdue with Odom

Meanwhile Purdue's top lawyer has gotten arrested for a suspected DUI:  https://www.purdueexponent.org/campus/crime/steven-schultz-purdue-dui-drunk-driving-lawyer-general-counsel/article_a52a9dc4-b7d4-11ef-8f65-33e66f8256d9.html

I’m looking at their losses and noticing the schools they are signing with…scratching my head. How could the team been as bad as they were???

In their defense, they did play FIVE CFP playoff teams, plus a ranked team in Illinois.

The margin of some of those losses were huge…losing is one thing…getting blasted in many of those games is something else. No doubt a tough schedule. 
 

Lot of players getting signed by quality programs, including CFP playoff teams.

Yeah, surprising for sure, especially considering Walters’ history as a defensive guy.

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't figure there were nine players on Purdue's team capable of playing at a level of the nine mentioned teams. Ultimately, I kid, but I can't help what pops up into my head first thing sometimes.

Thought Walters would’ve been 1-5

[Coach Nowlin]

 

Hope it can result in 6 wins

As Barry Alvarez said 30 years ago or so, the real recruiting occurs after a player commits. 

[Sparty]

Didn’t Purdue accept the player (DB) from Memphis that sent his team’s defensive calls to their opponents?

Id be sending ole boy away.  

[Coach Nowlin]

Barry Odom

Thank You for restoring grown men in the building 

 

[PHJIrish]

Purdue actually looks like a football team this year!  They're trailing Illinois at the moment but they're looking like they care!  That's good to see!

[Irishman]

Darn her anyway! 🤣
