Florida’s offensive coordinator is among the candidates to step in at Purdue, ESPN announcer Anthony Becht said during the network’s broadcast of the Boilermakers’ game against Penn State. Purdue fired former coach Darrell Hazell on Oct. 16.
Nussmeier has also been rumored to replace Tim DeRuyter at Fresno State after the coach got canned Oct. 23. He has ties to the California school, having served as the Bulldogs’ offensive coordinator in 2008.
The Gators’ offense has improved in Nussmeier’s second year, jumping from 100th nationally in scoring offense in 2015 to 60th this season.
Good! He needs to take his inept play calling with him. Hey Doug: THROW the damn ball!!!
I couldn’t disagree more…..we have a great stable of backs and we won today by pounding the ball and controlling the clock….LDR is doing fine but he will never light up the field like Rex or Danny. Until franks, trask, or allen takeover lets win by running the ball!
