A change has to be made.

We suck. Deal with it.

Actually our defense looked pretty good today holding OSU. To only 45 points! If not for the blocked punt. And the fumble recovery, our defense could have held OSU to a respectable 34 score. And we almost scored 6 points on two chip shot field goals. That would have been a respectable 34-6 loss.

As Walters would say. We’re really very close.

Did IU win again today? Nothing makes a Purdue poster on this board upset more than an IU win. Some of you just can’t accept reality and your sportsmanship is lacking. We suck! Give IU some props for having a decent year!
Iu winning doesn’t bother me, it’s their tool bag fan base.

Can we PLEASE fire Walters?

Why haven't we let him go already?
At this point, he simply needs to 'die' on his own sword. If we had capable assistants or coordinators under him, then maybe ... but it's almost not fair to them. Not their fault that Walter's brought them on-staff as under qualified coaches. I'd jump at the chance as well.

If it delays the search for, and negotiations with, our next coach, AT ALL, then it matters.

Not sure how it would delay the search. Hopefully that's already well underway.

As or negotiations, I'd assume anyone of value is going to wait until after the season to fully negotiate. Some things can happen behind closed doors, but if you announce the opening is there now, does is then make access to those coaches harder based on the daily news and social media cycle? Does the open speculation add too much noise to the process?

Susie Wiles as Chief of Staff

Great pick for those of us who want some guardrails on Trump. She and LaCivita ran a great campaign. She was able to keep trump focused better than anyone else has in his political career. She will have tremendous influence on his appointments and cabinet selections. Less chance of unqualified ass kissers getting in critical positions. And she knows what she's getting into having worked closely with trump during the campaign unlike his COSs in his previous admin. Hope she can stay awhile.
Did someone hack your account?

Can we PLEASE fire Walters?

The next coach is going to be a gamble too.

No one stellar on paper is going to look at this roster and see this lack of monetary commitment and sign up for that.

It's going to be another hail Mary...either with another young coach or maybe an older retread looking to reclaim.

Unless this school completely flips it's mindset and is prepared to shell out tens of millions of dollars on coaches and players and I don't see that happening.
Money talks

Can we PLEASE fire Walters?

It doesn’t matter if they are or are not. They brought in like 15 guys from a school we wouldn’t have looked at. We brought in the “best” qb in the portal last year. We have brought in some of the higher rated wrs and cbs the last couple years. Talent isn’t the difference or if it is it isn’t a significant difference. The difference is we have the worst coach maybe in all of college football and they got a good one it looks like.
You are assuming that those "talented" transfer players are actually talented. I assert that they are not as talented as they were rated AND they are extremely poorly coached.

Can we PLEASE fire Walters?

Talent this season is extremely similar based on recruiting ratings and transfer portal ratings. I am pretty sure IU also lost more through the portal than us.

I do agree we need to spend on a good coach. Winning will cure everything else.
Then why did the preseason rankings all have us dead last?

No the talent isn't "extremely similar."

IU also brought a lot more talent in than us because they spent the money to do it. They spent the money on an established coach, and a staff, and the players.

The idea that "all" we have to do is just go find another Cignetti is, I don't have polite words for it.
