when the guy intercepts the ball and he takes off on that side of the field, you've got a bunch of offensive guys chasing him. Once he reversed, those offensive linemen aren't the greatest at changing direction and chasing him down.
He's a guy I have tried to hire on two other occasions, so the third time was a charm. I'm excited to have him on our staff.
He is a guy that I've known for a long time. He's very knowledgeable guy and he's a play ahead all of the time. He understands mechanics probably as well as anybody coaching quarterbacks today.
Joel did a great job as a graduate assistant here and has gone on to cut his teeth in the coaching profession. He's a detail guy with a lot of energy, and we're thrilled to have him back at Purdue.
Bill knows our system as well as anyone. That's why he was chosen. Bottom line: He is a guy who will be able to get it done.
You don't work with a guy that long and don't become very good friends. He really understood me and I understood him. That's probably why we got along so well. We'll miss Jim and his personality and his intellect.
He's smart, he's experienced, he's loyal, he's a good coach and he sees the big picture. He's the right guy for the job at this point.
