Purdue fires offensive coordinator Harrell and tabs analyst Simmons to call plays
Coach Ryan Walters hired Graham Harrell to put his stamp on Purdue's trademark offense. He lasted just 16 games as offensive coordinator. Less than 24 hours after announcing Harrell had been fired, Walters told reporters at his weekly news conference that Jason Simmons will take over the play-calling duties for the rest of this season at the Cradle of Quarterbacks.
