The defensive line is on it’s third coach in 3 years, yes, George Karlaftis is on his 3rd defensive lien coach since he has been at Purdue.

But, after hiring a young up and coming guy in Terrance Jamison, who left for Illinois, Coach Brohm went back to the Tiller Roots and brought back a name that made many football alumni very happy.
