Sadly, doesn’t look like he’s going anywhere yet…both literally & figuratively…but sounding like a rumored affair, if true, could give ‘cause’ and soften the buyout. If it happens, it sounds like it will be soon…

Couldn't agree more.Gossip and rumors are hurting his family, reputation and career...nobody KNOWS anything and it needs to stop.
If true, no one should take pleasure in someone's downfall.
It’s idiots on twitter. If his wife is basing anything on what’s said on the internet…god help them.Can anyone identify a reliable source who is saying these things? Twitter has become a cesspool of lies and disinformation at this point. All the rumors I saw looked like a bunch of attention seekers.
This kind of speculation could be really damaging to him and his family.
Well to be fair, it always has been.Twitter has become a cesspool of lies and disinformation at this point.
At this point I don't think it matters who would coach if he was let go as the season is lost anyway... let the guy doing the offense run it ... what is going to happen we lose games? That is happening no matter what.I doubt X is correct. As far as him still being here, who else can coach the team? When I look at the purdue athletic department salaries for assistant coaches it's amazing how many and how much they are being paid. So I think he is going to be around till the end and then Poof!
Agreed.At this point I don't think it matters who would coach if he was let go as the season is lost anyway... let the guy doing the offense run it ... what is going to happen we lose games? That is happening no matter what.
Purge the staff and take the rest of the year to find a coach (which I think has to happen anyway). To me there just doesn't seem to be any gain to keep him around... we are losing recruits left and right as well...
It's worse than ever now that Elon has taken over. Selling blue checkmarks instead of the old system where blue checks were only given to verified users has destroyed trust in the platform.Well to be fair, it always has been.
I've lost hope that a change is going to be made at this point before the program is in such a dire state we may not recover. There has been plenty of "cause" to let CRW go and the fact it hasn't happened yet, is not a good sign.
When Parker took over for Hazell, it was, uh, fine. We actually seemed more competitive in some of the games than we might have been if Haze had still been around. And obviously it led to a decent hire in Brohm.At this point I don't think it matters who would coach if he was let go as the season is lost anyway... let the guy doing the offense run it ... what is going to happen we lose games?

And Parker had as much qualification as anyone on this current staff.When Parker took over for Hazell, it was, uh, fine. We actually seemed more competitive in some of the games than we might have been if Haze had still been around. And obviously it led to a decent hire in Brohm.
Disagree.. it's always sucked because people in general suck. blue checkmarks never stopped people from posting crap and Tik Tok is probably even worse. But that is a discussion for a different thread.It's worse than ever now that Elon has taken over. Selling blue checkmarks instead of the old system where blue checks were only given to verified users has destroyed trust in the platform.
I thought maybe we would beat NW but the team is lost at this point I think. There is enough talent on the roster to be competitive and win more games than we have, but the staff just is clueless.Agreed.
Other than the glimmer of hope against IL, this season has been a complete disaster.
If he's still around for the iu game, that might be the nail in the coffin if we get embarrassed, yet again this year.
Yep .. and we're also having players decommit left and right... it's mind boggling.I would have thought that if it was going to happen mid-season it would have happened Monday morning. Especially with the bye week. And I was in favor of that timing. Now, we wait another 6 weeks and then we're debating whether he's going to get fired or actually gets another year. Egads!
If he has in fact lost the locker room and players don’t care for him, you need to get him out ASAP. It’s probable we aren’t winning another game all year so who cares who is in charge.As other posters have mentioned, we really have no one else on staff to take over. May as well get a few more games out of Walters while you're paying him 4mil this year. I think we have a few more games at least with ole Walters at the helm.
Since he’s running the offense AND defense, he needs 2 weeks to prepare for each game.Walters probably convinced them that he will have the team ready with an extra week to go back and watch all that tape he’s mentioned.
What will that do?Since he’s running the offense AND defense, he needs 2 weeks to prepare for each game.
As if calling someone "verified" meant they were trustworthy.It's worse than ever now that Elon has taken over. Selling blue checkmarks instead of the old system where blue checks were only given to verified users has destroyed trust in the platform.
There were plenty of “verified” blue check marks making idiots of themselves during the Covid lockdowns and riots…As if calling someone "verified" meant they were trustworthy.
No different than before. It's only users/posts I decide are credible that I will listen to. Blue checkmark or not. I am willing to make that determination. I don't want someone else doing it for me.
Not if it’s slander. Some of these idiots got sued for a very similar situation by flecks alleged mistress and it was not a good situation as she tracked down the identities of the keyboard warriors. It was expensive for both and it was settledIt’s idiots on twitter. If his wife is basing anything on what’s said on the internet…god help them.
Part of why you get paid an insane amount of money to coach college football is that you’re subject to these idiots and their ramblings. Whether it’s me on a message board or some weird guy on Twitter it’s part of the job. Not saying it’s ok. Don’t agree with it…but Purdue’s coach is going to get it 1000% less than most BIG or SEC fanbases will dish out.
I'm not sure that we can say that the state of the program is in dire condition at this very moment. The football facilities and stadium have been updated, tickets are selling and we are less than three years removed from playing in a a Big Ten Championship Game.Well to be fair, it always has been.

Me, too.FYI I was on board and willing to give this a chance until norte dame game.
It's hard to say how firing Walters mid-season would effect recruiting. It might increase the defections.Yep .. and we're also having players decommit left and right... it's mind boggling.
I will say I was very impressed with the crowd that showed up for the Oregon game. Packed house including the student section,I'm not sure that we can say that the state of the program is in dire condition at this very moment. The football facilities and stadium have been updated, tickets are selling and we are less than three years removed from playing in a a Big Ten Championship Game.
We have the infrastructure, and the fans, but we are in dire need of a coaching staff........

This. I think this job could be attractive to some coaches. Jeff Brohm went 36-34 here and he had this job and a top 25 salary for as long as he wanted it. The expectations here are probably as realistic as any major conference job. We will pay a top 25 salary and you don't have to be much better than .500 to keep the stands full. Playoff access if you can get us there.I'm not sure that we can say that the state of the program is in dire condition at this very moment.

Worse than suppressing news that doesn’t help Jack Dorsey’s preferred candidate?lol twitter is 1000% worse now than it used to be.
Social media thinks Ed Cooley is getting the Virginia job too.Social media is what it is. You just have to make your own decision.
Yeah like I said I guess I do have an idea...Worse than suppressing news that doesn’t help Jack Dorsey’s preferred candidate?
