Moussa and Karlaftis have announced for the portal.

Ouch.
Karlaftis a legacy with his brother being a star. Now Thieneman--the third of his brothers who played safety at Purdue--announces for the portal. 

IMHO this is bigger than a coaching problem. If it were just a coaching problem, I think the fact that the coach was getting canned would be a positive development. 

Feels even more like this is a culture problem.

how many more years they got left to play? I don't think I would begrudge a player leaving after the coach gets fired. Maybe they just don't want to go through a whole rebuild process again. Ryan Walters was suppose to be the rebuild...turns out he fucking sucks and Purdue is comically bad right now. Maybe they just want to have a chance to win games over the next year or two, get some NIL money, then go to the league.

I don't begrudge the player. I begrudge the program that isn't clearly able to make a compelling case to keep them. 

And these aren't players that are just in "get some NIL money, go to the league" territory like George Karlaftis. Both were mid-level 3 star recruits. 

These guys might have NIL money as their only earning option, because their future football options might be kicking around an NFL practice squad for a year or two as UDFA and then going on to a "normal person" career. 

If Purdue can't keep these guys, how can they hope to keep the guys who don't have family connections?

Good point.

Purdue just made a very bad hire. And that'll set you back big-time when you whiff that bad on a coach. Walters was really just a shit sandwich. They would've been just fine right now if Louisville never came calling Brohm home. He's a heckuva coach. Need to find a guy with head coach experience that can really coach & develop QBs/offense.

Purdue has called a team meeting for today.  They likely have their new HC and were waiting until after the championship games to announce.

I'm hearing Barry Odom from UNLV (as well as Missouri).

I think that would be a good hire with a good OC, preferably Brennan Marion.  Id also be fine with Tyson Helton (Western Kentucky HC) or Jon Sumrall (Tulane HC).

Marion had been rumored to UW. Not going to happen.

You Badgers have a 20 year winning streak against Purdue. Can't you just settle for that?

That's fine I guess, but I was kinda hoping for Marion. Very intriguing. I guess they are getting Grimes from Kansas. Nothing officially announced yet.

Marion runs an offense that would be killer at Wisconsin.  His Go Go offense is pretty interesting to read about.

Purdue fans traditionally prefer pass heavy, but nobody will care if games are being won.

With today's transfer portal teams can flip rosters to make any system work within a year or 2.

Looks like it's official.

Odom will be doing a press conference at Purdue on Tuesday.

I hope he got Marion to come along with him.

Need a mobile QB. Maybe Odom can bring his roster and pull an Indiana.

Gonna be tough still.

That would be an interesting path to say the least. I guess that program has minted a lot of ascending coordinators. But he does feel like a guy that you would want with a defensive head coach.
