The only ones I remember was the two dumb asses from the Eno Benjamin debacle, and they deserved to be shown the door. I'm not sure if "Soup" Campbell was fired or moved on his own.

Yes, it's hard to know about Soup or, more recently, Copeland, but they most likely were strongly encouraged to move along to avoid firing. Giving someone that option fits your overall point about Kirk's loyalty to staff. Kennedy likely knew his employment was contingent on GDGD being the OC. I'd wager Kaz was fired, though, along with the two "dumb asses."
Soup was "not renewed". A Greg Davis casualty.
I didn't think you were allowed to that ever, let alone mid-season?! That's crazy that no one on the Iowa staff realized you could fire an OC, hell maybe they still don't. I guess thankfully for us BF's contract ended up expiring for whatever reason (guessing they couldn't work out the numbers?).
Jees, Kaz was a long time ago. Not sure if he was "fired" or just told to move along. I remember he was an Ass though and nobody on the staff could stand the guy...
He might be a strong offensive mind, but his play calling is basic and bland and predictable.
Probably ain't gonna work out anyway and you aren't getting someone from elsewhere mid-season. Some other dude on the staff maybe calling the same plays a little different.
That's usually a reflection of what the guys can show they can handle.
The pass-pro already illustrates that there are inconsistencies there. Furthermore, Purdue has a bunch of mercenary WRs. The problem sometimes with getting guys who already think that they know what they're doing is that you have to reteach them how to do things right. That unlearning process can sometimes be a rocky road ...
I mean, there are plays in the playbook that can help this offense be successful. Just don’t run 73% of your passing routes as straight lines or curls. And don’t have an offense that is over 80% predictable on formations alone.
Pretty ballsy move by the head coach.
Ryan Walters had never called an offense before last week. Hard to argue with the results.
The Boilermakers coach revealed at what point last week he decided to call the offense and whether he will do so going forward.

That’s crazy. They schemed some awesome plays
You would think a good DC would be good at knowing what will beat the defense.Pretty ballsy move by the head coach.

True. But there's also a risk of it didn't pay off. Maybe he just said, "f**k it, I can't be any worse than the other guy."
