This is me now. Looking at two futures.
Beat Purdue and we're likely making a bowl game. My standard of firing him on losing game #7 vanishes into the night, as that did not apply to a bowl game.
Lose to Purdue and it's probably impossible. Can Lovie beat a 2-5 team staggering through a bad year in the road?
I think not, but Lovie has earned an honest look by downing a legit team without a whole bunch of crazy tricks.
