(Editor’s note: This story was written on Friday before news of Olson’s firing by the Jaguars came out. I stand by him still having a shot at the Purdue job but obviously being fired mid-season doesn’t help his case.)
A week back Kyle was asking the staff here for suggestions on coaching candidates for the now vacant Purdue Football job. I suggested Greg Olson and got ignored. Kyle was nice enough to throw it in his article, call him a dark horse, and mention that I was the only one who thought this was possible. I have to admit it is a long shot but he’s someone who has stuck out in my mind as someone I think Purdue should take a good long look at it.
