Is he on the hot seat? Is it at least luke warm? Frankly, I cannot see how he has made it this long. I hear DePaul has some backers who think they should move to the A-10 (or whatever the number is now) because they cannot compete in BIG EAST. Seems with their tailspin and the new arena/casino and the money that may cost DePaul, they may well be at a crossroads. I think they need to dump Purnell after this season with all that is at stake. It is clear he cannot deliver a winner.
