Can we PLEASE fire Walters?
- Thread starter mklinker
- Start date
I am begging here. Please, please, please let us move on from this misery.
Nope he is almost there. We could still score this season. All levels of suck; offense, defense and special teams.
Either get a new coach or get rid of football. This is beyond bad. Only positive thing is it can’t get any worse
Be careful. I literally said those words to a buddy of mine when Hazel was fired. He regularly reminds me after every Walters coached game.
As much as I want him gone, if he isn't fired by now it won't be until after the season is over. Not sure it matters anyway right now..
I agree with you and it likely will not matter for W/Ls but imo it at least shows at least some level of seriousness to football.
If it delays the search for, and negotiations with, our next coach, AT ALL, then it matters.
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.
You are right.This team is not competitive in all phases of the game.None of the coaches deserve to stay.
Gimme a break. If IU, Kansas State, Iowa State, etc etc can get proven head coaches, no reason we can’t do the same.
Who ? IU isn’t spending any more NIL on football than we are.
Purdue better make up their minds about football, with all the money spent to upgrade the stadium, either go big or be one of the worst teams in football
Yes, they are. I've posted the evidence before but apparently few people around here want to believe it.
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.
As I have said before, Purdue has no intention of getting rid of Walters because the Administration is not committed to having a winning football program! The absolute proof is that he is still there. Any school Administration committed to having a winning program would not have hired him in the first place or have kept him on this long. So fans get used to having Purdue be the Big Ten cellar dweller for the foreseeable future!
Agreed we
is there any ability to negiotiate that buyout down? I would think bobo has to at least try something here
It does matter lol
It's how you GET a Cignetti and his staff and fifteen players to come to your school.
Talent is a difference. It amazes me that people think the only thing that matters is coaching. Just get a good coach problem solved.
Gut tells me firing will be made official the week of the IU game. As has been discussed already you may as well let your $4mil guy coach as there's literally no one else on staff even remotely qualified (ie less qualified than 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.
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.
Money is not an issue. The buyout has no impact on you, me or anyone else other than Walters.
I told you before, if you want Walters gone, then pony up the $9 million! Otherwise shut up! Purdue alum are smart and intelligent. They have better uses for their $9 million than giving that money to buy out a coach! A new coach is going to cost $5/7 million. If you have the money, I’m sure Purdue would accept it. At the moment they have enough issues scraping up money to pay the NIL.
Where were you this week? Didn’t you hear our US economy is in the toilet. And nobody has any money to spend and the only guy who has money is Musk and he’s not a Purdue alumni.

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.
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?
Based on what? It's not 2000 anymore.
When you can instantly reload by bringing in key talent in spots via portal coaching isn't 90 percent anymore.
Recruiting via dollars is a lot more important.
I just understand why folks think the portal and NIL literally changed nothing.
OK you fire the HC; to whom do you give authority to hire the new one? Our guy hired HC RW over Deion (he was available), some guy at JMU named Curt Cignetti etc. Maybe those guys would not have come here but were they truly CONSIDERED?
Kansas state, Iowa State, and IU show that it can be done without spending much more, if any, than we are. None of those staffs are spending good money on 4 Georgia rejects.
Part of coaching is talent evaluation, which our staff sucks at. And I’ll add, why I think we need a VP/GM to run the entire football operation.

I wouldn’t say that. You gotta have the Jimmys and the Joes, along with the Xs and the Os.
They did throw for 107 yards today so the offense is not a problem. 🤡
