And he’s never been a head coach before 

And they thought they were getting Chris Kleiman.

 

Whoops!

Purdue fans were definitely expecting more for some reason. Unfortunately Purdue, Indiana, Maryland, Rutgers and such just aren't attractive places to coach... Especially now having to compete with Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, USC. Not sure which UCLA program will show up though. And Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan State have kinda left the door open for someone to take 5th place.

I expect Wisconsin to be shutting that door in short order.

He was a friend of mine and we hung out when he was offensive coordinator at UK under Mummy with Tim Couch.  Great, funny guy.  I told Mike one time I will root for you except when you play IU.  The gang would get together at my house and watch UK basketball games and grill steaks in the winter. So sorry to hear this!  Sucks big time!

That's rough Nips - sorry for your loss; sounds like the guy left so many good-time memories with so many people.

A life well-lived.

Stu, I had an uncle, one of my dads younger brothers who was a BIG Time uk fan and had season tickets to UK back then.  I went and bought a blue and white panel autograph football with a tee and gave it to Mike to have Hal and Couch sign it for him!  My uncle darn near cried when I sent it to him in the Ville!  He sai I don’t know how you did this but it’s the nicest thing anyone ever did for me.  I said it was easy if the offensive coordinator is a beer drinking buddy! Lol

Sorry for the loss of your friend, Nips. He was one of my favorite people that I never had the pleasure to meet. 

You two being friends is somehow not surprising at all and makes me like him even more.

He was a rather smart guy. Graduated from Pepperdine University Law School too!

The stories coming out on ML on twitter have been wonderful to read the last 2 days. I am a huge fan of his and have been for a long time. The stories further reinforce that. 

There for a while he was living in the Left Field Lounge at Miss St lol 

They asked him when he planned to move out, he said "never". Hahaha 

He will be missed.

"Quick, think of a way to distract the fanbase from the fact that they hate the coaching hire we made and all of our guys are opting out of the bowl meaning we're gonna lose by 40..."

"BREES!!!"

New Coach Walters' comments, with my translation of what he really means in parentheses:

"When I first heard about Drew coming back to help coach our guys for the bowl game, I was hoping the rumors were true," (I WAS REALLY, REALLY PISSED)  Walters said. "Our players have the opportunity to learn from one of the greatest leaders in football history, (EVEN THOUGH THE RAT BASTARD HAS NEVER COACHED ANYONE AT ANYTHING) a valuable experience that they will never forget (BECAUSE ALL OF THE MEDIA WILL BE ABOUT HIM NOW). Drew taking time out of his busy schedule (CONSISTING OF COUNTING HIS PENSION MONEY AND WATCHING GUY'S GROCERY GAMES RERUNS) to coach the bowl game is a perfect example of Purdue football being one big family (THAT APPARENTLY I AM NOT A PART OF IN FULL YET), and I cannot wait to see him on the sidelines in Orlando. (TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE BASTARD THAT CLEARLY WANTS MY JOB)"

Think you nailed that translation, but I sincerely hope we’re not gonna start dragging GGG.
