BoBo needs to have a deal in place with another Coach NOW or be prepared to break the Bank with someone like Kiffin, Kansas’s HC or another HC to turn this around! Personally I am not positive one way or the other on Walter’s return but changes, $$$, have to be made to fix this!
“IF” There Is To Be HC Change
- Thread starter WHS70
- Start date
we're not going to get a big name guy, hoping for Bronco Mendenhall, an established coach w/ a good resume. No more unproven guys, just hope it's not a guy like Chryst.
The SEC is tougher than the B1G so a coach like Kiffin might be the kind of Coach to take the job if the $$$ is right!
Mendenhall quit for a couple years to become a “better person and coach”. I don’t think he will be motivated by money. He’s from Utah and spent nearly his entire career in the desert, except for Virginia (and briefly Oregon state after he graduated from there) and he had to leave Virginia. Just doesn’t seem like a good plan to build a program around.
First, let's consider why this year's team is so bad. Walters did OK last year but this year's team is pathetic. Why?
Well, we were totally whipsawed by the portal. Our best players left and the ones who came in to Purdue were guys why couldn't cut the muster and were probably nudged into the portal by their coaches.
We need a coach who know how to work the portal system, knows the back alley of NIL deals and knows how to recruit. There's an old saying: "Football isn't the X's and O's, it's the Bubba's and the Joe's."
If your Christmas wish is for Walters to get fired, you are going to be disappointed. The school administration is not committed to having a winning football program, so Walters will most likely be there through the end of his contact which means Purdue will be the Big 10 cellar dweller during that time. The only thing that could change that would be if some deep pocket alum would be willing to put up the money to buy out Walters contract!
