Purdue Fires Offensive Coordinator Graham Harrell

News summary

Purdue University has fired offensive coordinator Graham Harrell following a disappointing 1-3 start to the 2024 football season. The decision came after a 28-10 loss to Nebraska, where Purdue's offense struggled, scoring only one late touchdown and averaging just 21.8 points per game, ranking 14th in the Big Ten. Harrell, who joined the Boilermakers in December 2022, had seen an initial strong performance with a 49-0 win over Indiana State but faced a decline, scoring only 38 points in the last three games against FBS competition. Coach Ryan Walters acknowledged the difficulty of the decision but emphasized the necessity for change to improve the team's performance. Purdue now seeks a replacement to revitalize its offense as they prepare for a challenging schedule ahead. Harrell was Purdue's highest-paid assistant, earning $950,000 this season, and had prior experience as a coordinator at several universities.
