Even before Purdue fired embattled coach Darrell Hazell on Saturday, former LSU coach Les Miles’ name was being mentioned for the position.

On Monday, LSU QB Danny Etling, a transfer from Purdue, said he’d love to see Miles end up with the Boilermakers:

“Coach Miles is a great coach,” Etling said Monday. “Purdue would be lucky to have him.”

Hazell was 9-33 in 3.5 seasons with the Boilermakers. Landing Miles would be big for the downtrodden Big Ten program.

Miles will likely be considered for a number of openings this offseason.
