Purdue finished the season 2–10, 1–7 in Big Ten play, to finish in last place in the West Division.
Preseason
editIn 2014, Purdue compiled a 3–9 record, 1–7 in Big Ten play, to finish in last place in the West Division. As a result of their poor record, Purdue was not bowl eligible for the second consecutive year. Their only conference win came against Illinois. The 2014 season marked the first time since 1993 that Purdue finished with the worst record in the Big Ten in back-to-back seasons.
On January 20, 2015, wide receivers coach Kevin Sherman left the program for the same position at Pittsburgh.[1] As a result, Purdue hired Terry Malone to be the news tight ends coach, moving former tight ends coach Gerad Parker to wide receivers coach.[2]
