Coach Mark Hagen was hired early in the off-season.
The moment the Assistant Coach was let go from Texas, former Purdue defensive players were active on Twitter to get the coach back to West Lafayette.
Coach Hagen, once coached under Joe Tiller, but has made stops all over and everywhere he has went he has left his foot print.
Early on in stint number 2 at Purdue, I think it is safe to say that he has been the best hire of the off-season.
Not only is he a great defensive line coach and will get our guys ready for Saturdays and get them to the NFL (he has done this everywhere he has been), he is making a huge impact with recruiting.
