Danny Hope (born January 7, 1959) is an American football coach and former player. He is currently the head football coach at Purdue University, a position he has held since the 2009 season. Hope was hired by Purdue in January 2008 as the associate head coach under Joe Tiller, who retired after the 2008 season. Hope was the head football coach at Eastern Kentucky University from 2003 to 2007.

Coaching career

Hope was the head football coach at Eastern Kentucky University from 2002–2007. He is a graduate of Eastern Kentucky and also was a player at Eastern Kentucky. Before arriving at Eastern Kentucky, Hope was the offensive coordinator at Louisville. Hope was also an assistant coach in various capacities at Purdue, Wyoming, and Oklahoma prior to becoming the head coach at Eastern Kentucky.

Head coach at Purdue

Beginning on approximately January 7, 2008, several media outlets reported that Hope had been offered and accepted a coaching position at Purdue where it was expected that he would replace long time coach Joe Tiller as part of a succession plan.

During his previous stay at Purdue, Hope was the offensive line coach for Tiller. He is credited with building the offensive line that protected NFL quarterback Drew Brees and produced several NFL offensive linemen, including All-Pro Matt Light.

In his first game as head coach at Purdue in 2009, the Boilermakers won, 52–31, over Toledo. Purdue lost their next five games before upsetting #7 Ohio State, 26–18, at Ross–Ade Stadium on October 17. Later during the 2009 season, the Boilermakers won at Michigan for the first time since 1966 with a 38–36 come-from-behind win at Michigan Stadium on November 7. It was only the third time in program history that Purdue defeated Ohio State and Michigan in the same season.
