The interim coach is basically auditioning for a bigger gig, trying to show the Purdue suits that he deserves to be HC... and how better to do that than to upset a Top 10 team in his very first game?

You don't know what you are going to get now. New interim head coach means all current tendencies go out the window. That makes our scouting tougher. It is still the same talent, but I think it increases the odds of something crazy happening.

No, it is a demoralizing situation for the team.

If Purdue had a better team to start with, i think this would help get them fired up, since the team has limited legacy to fall back on it probably hurts the team moral and makes this challenge even greater. NU can't afford to take them lightly though!

We need a complete overhaul of personnel. Coaching is there, talent isn't.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go
