Purdue football coach Barry Odom is not receiving enough credit for his decision to dismiss a questionable hire, according to a column by Nathan Baird in the Indianapolis Star. The column argues that the proof of the move's wisdom is evident in the team's results on the field.
Odom, who took over the Boilermakers program, made the personnel change earlier in the season. Since then, Purdue's performance has supported the coach's judgment, though the column suggests the broader narrative has overlooked this aspect of his leadership.
