LSU QB Danny Etling Supports Les Miles For The Purdue Opening

Many believe that former LSU head coach Les Miles will be a candidate for the Purdue job after the Boilermakers decided to fire Darrell Hazell this past Sunday.

LSU quarterback Danny Etling, a transfer from Purdue who played under Hazell in 2013-14, says the Boilermakers would be lucky to have coach Miles if he does in fact land in West Lafayette. Per The Advocate:

Miles, who hasn’t spoken to local media since his firing Sept. 25, has said in national interviews he wants to coach again.

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

Etling said Purdue’s interim coach, former wide receivers coach Gerad Parker, is popular with his former Boilermakers teammates.

Purdue fired Hazell after going 9-33 in 3.5 seasons.
