championships,��� he said. ���We���re going to make it as hard as we possibly can. It���s going to be hard. I want them to understand that to win games, it is hard. But we���ll address that every single time and we���ll bring them back if they don���t do it the right way.��� High Marks ESPN.com���s Mark Schlabach holds Hazell in high regard. In a Jan. 15 piece, the network analyst outlines 10 early predictions for the 2013 college football season.

Vanderbilt���s James Franklin, another African-American coach, guided the Commodores to a 9-4 record, their best finish since 1915. ���Isn���t it amazing what happens when minority coaches land better jobs than New Mexico, New Mexico State and Kansas?��� More High Grades Sports Illustrated columnist Stewart Mandel gives Purdue a B-plus for its hiring of Hazell. In a Jan. 15 column, Mandel handed out grades to the top programs with coaching vacancies this offseason. He gave only one A-plus, to Texas Tech, which hired former Texas A&M offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. Six other schools, including Tom Campbell Robert Marve starred at his all-star appearance Sunday, throwing for nearly 150 yards and a touchdown in his team���s win at the Raycom College Football All-Star Classic. Wisconsin���s hire of Gary Andersen from Utah State, earned an A or A-minus. Purdue was one of four with a B-plus. About Purdue���s hire, Mandel said, ���Hazell produced one of the more remarkable feats of 2012, leading Kent State to not only its first bowl game in 40 years but also an 11-win season and MAC championship game appearance. Hazell, 48, spent seven seasons at Ohio State under Jim Tressel, which should equip him well for a Big Ten job. The only slight hesitation is that Purdue is putting a lot of stock in two seasons of head coaching.��� Pat Forde of YahooSports. com gave Purdue���s hire a grade of B.
