Agreed, this shit that any coach Purdue would hire would be a gamble/ high risk acquisition is pure stupidity.....
Nice try. No body has said that good coaching is everything, but we certainly can see what it's like when you don't have good coaching...
I think some folks are still embarrassed that they hung on as Walters apologists a lot longer than others did.
And I and I think no one else has said "Walters is a good coach."
Agreed,but CRW has compounded those other issues.....who wants to support the NIL effort when the level of coaching is so poor. What athletes want to play for a loosing program?
Are you saying iu is more committed to having a successful football program than Purdue?
I’ll give 2 examples: iu and FSU.
Agree here. It’s the system. Not just on the field but off of it too. No discipline. The work ethic is extremely lacking. The fundamentals have disappeared. Overall, we stink and there’s just no way this coach pulls us out of it.
I think the fact that everyone is talking about what we need to do to replace him is an indicator that no one is singing his virtues right now
They are certainly more committed to spending money to do so.
Unfortunately it will not happen! Since there is no commitment to having a winning program, as long Purdue can field 22 warm bodies nothing is going to change except perhaps Walters will get a raise and contract extension!
this is the difference I'm seeing staff wise

No proof they are spending substantially more than us on NIL in that piece.Indiana football's NIL is 'a lot more than what I was promised,' says Curt Cignetti
Indiana football has seen an influx of NIL capabilities this offseason following the hiring of Curt Cignetti. But even Cignetti says IU's NIL is more than he was initially promised.
I give up though. Folks want to believe what they want to believe.
Probably because we all know how cheap Purdue is so you need a money doesn't matter mindset to have hope I guess.
Yeh, that's a bunch of BS by whoever authorized that email to go out. That's a potential lawsuit
who were iu's most important talent transfers in the offseason? JMU players? Seriously?
That’s the myth that I hate. Walters was seemingly the only guy who would take the job and we paid him what a first time coach in conference usually gets.
Money talks. If you have to pay someone like....Norvell, for example, $8-9M,. then that's the going rate for a P5 HC. No fan or alum should give 2 craps about what we pay a coach on the high end. It has zero impact on them financially unless they're personally funding the coaches salary.
My FSU alumni friend felt the same way. But, it's hard going from being a NC hopeful to having the same record at PU and getting blown out several times in the process. FSU's season is eerily similar to Purdue's (except for the expectations).
And except for Norvell has been a successful head coach in the past.
Agreed. He had a solid run at Memphis and at FSU except for this year. Will be interesting to see what happens with him.
Bad QB choice messed up the locker room. Lost several NFL guys and replaced them with high pay but low output guys. Norvell is a proven coach…gotta give him 1 more roll of the dice IMO.
Can we trade Walters and his contract for Norvell and his contract? Maybe Walters could be a $4 million a year defensive analyst for them.

Ugh. That buyout though. People complain about owing Walters 9mil over 3. What if we had to pay Norvell 9 per for 3?
We were deaf last because there was no change of the oc or dc... I mean walters took over dc calling mid year last season and Harrell had the most anemic air raid I have ever seen.
