Hazell is in his fourth year at Purdue after spending two seasons as the head coach at Kent State. Hazell (HAY-zull) was named the 2012 Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year after leading Kent State to arguably its most sucessful season ever, with an 11-3 record and MAC East Division championship. The 11 wins set a school record. Prior to his time at Kent State, Hazell spent seven seasons at Ohio State, where he served as an assistant head coach and wide receivers coach under Jim Tressel. Hazell has spent 30 years in the college coaching ranks, and has previous stints as Rutgers (2001-03), West Virginia (1999-2000), the U.S. Military Academy (1997-98), Western Michigan (1995-96), Pennsylvania (1992-94), Eastern Illinois (1988) and Oberlin (1986-87, 1989-91). Hazell graduated in 1986 from Muskingum College with a B.A. in speech communications and business. He was a three-time all-conference selection as a wide receiver and an All-American as a senior. A native of Cinnaminson, New Jersey, Hazell (born April 14, 1964) and Annmarie have a son, Kyle.

• Malone said afterwards, “It was very satisfying. I’m not sure how much we did to help, because there’s so much work to be done, but we cleared three or four yards of debris and cut a couple trees down. But we had a really good day.”

New Orleans Saints, opened his speech at the Purdue Football Preseason Banquet on Aug. 19, expected to be a quick overview of the offense, by asking the Boilermaker community for any help for his friends and neighbors back in Louisiana who are dealing with the tragic flooding.
• Malone was also helping in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, as he took the job in February 2006.
• Malone said Tuesday, “There was never a year in New Orleans without having something. So, it becomes a part of the way you think. The fact is that you really don’t need to do a whole lot to help people who are in need. They really appreciate it and you get a lot more satisfaction of doing it than they probably do out of you helping them.”
»BOILERMAKERS IN THE COMMUNITY• The Purdue football program is
incredibly involved with community service initiatives, as players and coaches regularly volunteer their time.

• “The first year I saw it I said, ‘It’s OK.’ The second and third year I said, ‘You know what, it’s starting to bother me a little bit.’ In the back of my mind, I thought: ‘At some point in time the train has to get here. It has to arrive.’
“That sign is no longer there.”-Hazell• What is Hazell referring to? It’s time to
finish every game.• The Boilermakers are a lot closer than
it may seem, evident by the program’s 1-7 record in one-possession games in the last three years, including 0-3 last year.
