    Darrell Hazell spent most of his coaching career telling others to "be great." Now he'll try to live up to that mantra in his new job at Purdue.

    On Wednesday, Boilermakers athletic director Morgan Burke hired the 48-year-old Kent State coach to lead the school dubbed as the Cradle of Quarterbacks out of mediocrity, back into national prominence and presumably back to a Rose Bowl.

    Sources told ESPN, Hazell will receive a six-year, $12 million deal. He had a $300,000 base salary at Kent State.
