Purdue announced a flurry of staff changes today, led by the hiring of Kevin Kane as defensive coordinator/linebackers coach.

Purdue also has added “defensive pass coordinator” title to defensive backs coach Charles Clark. And Cornell Ford has moved from receivers coach to running backs coach.

GoldandBlack.com reported earlier the hiring of offensive line coach Zach Crabtree and the promotion of Bilal Marshall to running backs coach.

Kane replaces Mike Scherer, who parted ways with the program this week. Ford replaces Lamar Conard, who was let go last week.
