Technical Tidbits 10/18: Johnson tells all in podcast interview, Bobinski makes first move at Purdue

Former Georgia Tech and current Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski wasted no time making his presence felt in the B1G, firing Boilermaker head football coach Darell Hazell after a 3-3 start to the season. As the AJC article indicates, that decision runs completely counter to his mantra of evaluating the “whole body of work” that he employed during his days as the Tech AD while watching a horrendous basketball program struggle year after year. Apparently a handful of games was all Bobinski needed to justify showing Hazell the door, or perhaps he was just antsy to make that first big move at Purdue after stewing on the futures of both Paul Johnson and Brian Gregory for so long.
