Life after Joe Tiller hasn’t exactly been fun for the Purdue Boilermakers nation. Since Tiller left the program for retirement following the 2008 season, Purdue football has made a mess of things. So much so that it has failed to produce a winning record in a regular season of football since the Tiller era.
The 2014 season wasn’t the rock bottom of year one of the Darrell Hazell era, but many believe it wasn’t much better. Still, it was hard to ignore that this team was more in the image of Hazell than it was in year one.
