Purdue Fires Offensive Coordinator Graham Harrell Amid Struggles

Coach Ryan Walters appoints Jason Simmons as interim OC after three-game losing streak and offensive woes.

Ryan Walters made the decision to fire Graham Harrell after Purdue's 1-3 start and poor offensive performance.
Jason Simmons, a former high school coach and current offensive analyst, will serve as the interim offensive coordinator.
Purdue has been outscored 83-17 in the first three quarters of their last three games, prompting the change.
The Boilermakers rank near the bottom in several key offensive metrics among Power 4 programs.
Decisions about a permanent offensive coordinator will be made after the season, with potential candidates already expressing interest.
