Barry Odom, the former head coach of Purdue Football, has expressed his desire for an aggressive approach to get the team back on the map. Odom praised the success of former Indiana coach Curt Cignetti, who turned the worst program in college football into a national champion. He also emphasized the need for investment in the football program and aggressive fundraising efforts to retain the best prospects in the sport. Over the past three seasons, Purdue has posted a 7-30 record and has not won a single Big Ten game in the past two years. The team's struggles have led to a drop in fan support and a projected finish last in the Big Ten. However, Odom believes that it is possible to have the team competing for Big Ten titles again.
