Based on who we have left to play, I think this is pretty much a given to happen. Likely even against indinia if CRW is still around.Of course, if there are hideous losses before then, that could change things.
Nope. I check hourly.to see if Walters has been fired yet?
Probably Walters does too, so you are not alone.to see if Walters has been fired yet?
I'm assuming that the AD and BOT are working furiously but quietly behind the scenes to get a great new HC. Maybe this time will be different.....for those of you old enough to remember, think of Lucy and Charlie Brown. Purdue football is Lucy hiding the ball for Charlie's kick. I am Charlie.Looks like more than just the Football staff is clueless. AD and BOT as well.
Brohm was a very good hire, so I am hopeful.I'm assuming that the AD and BOT are working furiously but quietly behind the scenes to get a great new HC.

Not a chance ! Purdue will not fire him until the end of the season. Purdue is so cheap Rodney Dangerfield would be embarrassed by their decision making.to see if Walters has been fired yet?
Technically we would SAVE a little money by firing him now instead of at the end of the season.Not a chance ! Purdue will not fire him until the end of the season. Purdue is so cheap Rodney Dangerfield would be embarrassed by their decision making.
Money isn’t the factor…it’s more about not having somebody who can step in and actually coach the team on the staff.Technically we would SAVE a little money by firing him now instead of at the end of the season.
That condition already exists.......Money isn’t the factor…it’s more about not having somebody who can step in and actually coach the team on the staff.
We are in this situation because Purdue is slow to react Brohm did everything but bitch slap the board and BoBo to let them know that he was leaving. Purdue apparently didn’t have a list of candidates then and I venture to say that they don’t have one now. I really was hoping that Walters would be successful. I think he is a good guy, but that is not enough. Firing the OC in the middle of the season puts a “DEAD MAN WALKING “ sign on Walters, unless a miracle happens. Yes, I agreed with firing Harrell. I think Purdue needs to let those out in the football world know that Purdue is in the market to change its trajectory and IS WILLING TO PAY TOP DOLLAR FOR IT.Technically we would SAVE a little money by firing him now instead of at the end of the season.
That's an interesting guess. If it was going to happen before the next game, it definitely would have happened already.My guess is that, since they're almost through the bye week, that he stays on until after the MSU game.
Go into the Bucket Game with an interim HC. Strange things sometimes happen with interim coaches, especially in rivalry games.
Of course, if there are hideous losses before then, that could change things.
This. They’re all Walters’ people except maybe the offensive analyst from Ben Davis HS. I think we have time to wait until after the IU game since we likely will pursue new coaches on other staffs now. Only exception may be Kevin Sumlin or someone who does not have an official coaching job.Money isn’t the factor…it’s more about not having somebody who can step in and actually coach the team on the staff.
He’ll get a few more weeks for sure just because there are no other responsible adults on staff.This. They’re all Walters’ people except maybe the offensive analyst from Ben Davis HS.

Uh oh, now you’ve done it !Brohm was a very good hire, so I am hopeful.
Sumlin is a co-offensive coordinator for Maryland.This. They’re all Walters’ people except maybe the offensive analyst from Ben Davis HS.

With Greg Olson as OC!Maybe just hire Sumlin/Spack as Co-HC's so 90% of this board would be excited.
And I would 100% expect Maryland would allow him to interview for Purdue HC job early. I would also have expected sumljn would make that a condition of his hiring (permission to interview for HC job). Regardless there are enough feelers out there purdue could hire him immediately after their final gameSumlin is a co-offensive coordinator for Maryland.
That actually would be an outstanding choice. bravo!David Blough for OC. Smart, personable, played for innovative offensive coaches in college and the NFL, and now coaches for one in DC. Perfect choice.
Maybe a bit too inexperienced thus far to make him OC. QB coach and perhaps co-OC. Yeah, I'd be pretty stoked about that.David Blough for OC. Smart, personable, played for innovative offensive coaches in college and the NFL, and now coaches for one in DC. Perfect choice.
Nope. I have been checking a few times a day.to see if Walters has been fired yet?
No. I want all coordinators to have had prior experience calling plays. We are in a pickle right now because we don’t have experienced coaches.David Blough for OC. Smart, personable, played for innovative offensive coaches in college and the NFL, and now coaches for one in DC. Perfect choice.
Agree. I’m sure he’s very bright and would be a good staff add but as a play caller….no thanksNo. I want all coordinators to have had prior experience calling plays. We are in a pickle right now because we don’t have experienced coaches.
Bring him in as a position coach or analyst
? Sure.
Sean McVay:Agree. I’m sure he’s very bright and would be a good staff add but as a play caller….no thanks
I don’t underStand the attempted point. We are talking college vs pros here.Sean McVay:
My point exactly - let him be a position coach or analyst first. Earn his stripes and learn the ropes.Sean McVay:
Two big differences with McVay. David has been a QB in sophisticated offenses at Purdue and in the NFL, where he was involved in game planning and calling audibles real time; and McVay was an OC in the NFL, not college. David brings a lot of value in other aspects of the college game, most notably recruiting, which McVay doesn't have to do.My point exactly - let him be a position coach or analyst first. Earn his stripes and learn the ropes.
It would be cool if he had a similar trajectory.
Btw, he is doing that this year with the comskins.My point exactly - let him be a position coach or analyst first. Earn his stripes and learn the ropes.
