The 2023 season wrapped up for the Boilermakers the weekend of May 18th with a 1-2 weekend series to the Nebraska Cornhuskers as a potential bid to the B1G Conference Tournament was in front of the Boilers. What made this series hurt worse was that it was at home at Alexander Field where Purdue has enjoyed great fan support over the last few seasons but can’t seem to find success under Goff as head coach.
Goff was seen as an interesting hire coming off the success of Mark Wasikowski, who had taken Purdue from the doldrums of the last years of Doug Schreiber (60-149 over the last four seasons), to going 87-82 in his three seasons.
