Open letter to Bobinski
- Thread starter bonefish1
- Start date
Dear Mike- please retire.
Sincerely New Pal Boiler
But he might take that as a suggestion that he should hire the next coach. Not sure I want that.
Google AI to the rescue-
We, the undersigned, are writing to express our deep concern regarding the current state of the Purdue University football program under the leadership of Head Coach Ryan Walters. While we understand that coaching transitions can be challenging, we believe that a change in leadership is necessary for the program to achieve its full potential.
Specifically, we are concerned with:
We believe that these issues, along with the general lack of progress displayed throughout the season, point to a need for a new direction and fresh perspective within the football program.
We recognize the dedication and effort that Coach Walters has invested in the program. However, we believe that a change in leadership is necessary to revitalize the team and inspire renewed enthusiasm among players, alumni, and fans.
We urge you to consider our request and take the necessary steps to identify a new head coach who can elevate the program to the level of success we believe is possible.
Sincerely,

While we understand that coaching transitions can be challenging, we believe that a change in leadership is necessary for the program to achieve its full potential.
Specifically, we are concerned with:
- The team's dismal 1-9 overall record and 0-7 record in the Big Ten conference. This marks a significant decline from recent years and places Purdue near the bottom of the conference standings.
- The team's inability to compete with ranked opponents. Losses to #18 Notre Dame, #23 Illinois, #2 Ohio State, #2 Oregon, and #4 Penn State, often by large margins, demonstrate a lack of preparedness and competitiveness at the highest level.
- The concerning trend of increasingly lopsided defeats. The losses to Ohio State (0-45) and Penn State (10-49) are particularly troubling and indicative of a team struggling to perform fundamentally.
We believe that these issues, along with the general lack of progress displayed throughout the season, point to a need for a new direction and fresh perspective within the football program.

My letter would be if walters isn't let go of in this season it will be you looking for a new job. There is 0 absolutely no logical reason to keep walters.
If you think getting a new oc is going to change purdue lol I mean really. Changing coordinators and position coaches after year 2 1 and 11 season with more blowouts than close games. Idk what to tell you. It's like crapping your pants and changing your shirt. It not going to solve the looming smell around you.
Maybe bobinski doesn't see the point in having an interim coach for a few weeks?
But if Ryan is still there next season might as well give him a 4th so we can find bobo's replacement Ala Morgan Burke and Hazell 4th year.
Unlike most here I don't fully blame Bobo. I'm sure he tried but that late in the coaching cycle it was either deep retreads or coordinators. I'd probably go for an oc and a more experienced one at that lol, but who knows who we formally interviewed and offered. Maybe walters was plan D.
But keeping him after this season is just an unforced error. He may be the worst hc in recent big ten history. Like def competing with lovie Smith that's for sure.

Unfortunately, I highly doubt he reads or even receives any emails/letters from fans regarding the football head coach. Mostly likely he's got an admin assistant filtering through and trashing them, or sending an auto reply written by AI. I honestly believe from everything he, Walters, etc. have stated that Walters will be back next year sadly.
actually before the Brohm hire, I wrote him a nice letter stating I'm his age and watching college football a long time. I also said I know you are probably going to use a head hunter for a new coach but I said from my point of view that Brohm would be my choice due to his offensive style , nice record at WKU, that would make it an enjoyable product to watch even in the event of a loss. It would also put people in the seats. Well the next day he emailed me back a 2 paragraph long letter and it was really nice.
I met him once at a Purdue function. Nice guy. Even though he’s a domer at heart.
Is our performance this year really any different than the Hazell years? Maybe Brohm was an aberration from the norm. And Brohm could see the future that we were headed back to the norm. I have to ask, is there any coach out there that actually wants this job that could actually do any better? DOUBTFUL!!!!
It's the coach, not the job. if it weren't the coach, schools like FSU, ND, and Tex would never struggle.
some of the Domers I met w/ fine. One time at the Newark Airport ( 90's) I met Kelly Tripucka as we were in the boarding area for a flight out West. He was sitting there and I started talking to him and told him I used to watch his older bros Tracy and Todd play at Lafayette and he said in fact he flying out to see Todd who runs an oil business in Utah. Of course I had my camera w/ me and asked I could take a picture. He was sitting w/ a newspaper and offered for me to take a picture of him against the wall, so I did. He was a nice guy
I got very specific, direct, borderline controversial responses from Morgan Burke usually with a note not to share his response with anyone. No way was an admin writing that. I’ve never written to bobo but heard he does the same.
Brevity is the soul of wit!
Ha, well I guess there is not much harm now. I will say he was not a fan of Kevin White.
He was the AD at Notre dame who ended the annual Purdue-ND rivalry (and same as Michigan-ND) for his 7+1 program. We alternated every year since WWII. They decided to do 7 home games and a neutral game every year so they can get 8 NBC games and so cancelled some home-and-home rivalries. With Michigan they handed them a letter shaking hands before kickoff and told Michigan because they served it before kickoff they were able to get out of the commitment a year early because it counted as a season since they didn’t play yet.
With our rivalry I can hardly blame them as it clearly wasn’t the same as Michigan and USC. We eventually agreed to bring it back with home-homer-neutral so they can get 2/3 for tv revenue.
I mailed my letter today.If all you guys don't do the same you are just blowing hot air and accomplishing nothing.
I wrote him after brohm left and told him that hiring walters was gutsy but it is probably going to be exciting. He also wrote me back. Obviously we were both wrong, but he definitely reads emails.
