Hammer and Rails Readers Reacts Survey Results: Grading the Tommy McClelland Hire
We’ve reached the end of another week folks. For a lot of people around the state of Indiana and elsewhere it might have meant you sent your kids back to school, you went back to school, or if you’re a teacher you went back to work. So I hope you had a good week. Now though, it’s time to look at the weekly survey results. This week I asked an admittedly unfair question. I wanted all of you to grade the Purdue athletics hire of Tommy McClelland. I know that the real answer is that it’s incomplete. We simply don’t have enough data on what McClelland is going to do in the role so we just can’t say definitively but I at least wanted to get a snapshot of the mood about this hire.
We’ve got a plurality of 35% that give the hire a B with another 31% giving it a C. 15% each for D and F with only 4% giving it an A. I think that the main thing weighing him down of course is the foot in the mouth comment about national titles and IU. I’ll just let you know that I went out for a friend’s birthday yesterday and this got brought up. One of the women said (and I’m paraphrasing here) “I don’t know shit about sports and even I know that was dumb.” So the quote break through and just means that McClelland is going to have to do more to prove it to fans. So, let’s get it done Tommy.
If you want to bet on the over/under for Purdue football this season, the last under Mike Bobinski, our friends at FanDuel have the odds for you.
