Purdue fired football coach Danny Hope on Sunday. In four seasons as the head man, Hope went 22-27 overall and 13-19 in the Big Ten. With Saturday's win over Indiana, he got the Boilermakers (6-6) to their second consecutive bowl game. In the end, though, it wasn't enough. Several of Hope's players went to Twitter to react to the news. See some the tweets in this post.
