Tom reporting Walters likely to return…

[KentuckyBoiler]

If Walters stays, which is looking likely, then do we just say that next year is a lost year then?

We will have a mass exodus of any remaining talent left. No recruit in their right mind would want to join our program unless they grew up a Purdue fan. This is the same for transfers unless we loosen our purse strings around this, which we have not shown to do in the past, except for a few exceptions like Card (and that turned out well). Maybe we have a Bobby Boucher or two that we didn't know about on the sidelines?

 

[Bippus33]

This is such a mishmash of points and quite frankly super emotional. Hidden disability?

He's a never before head coach, at a school with bottom of the conference talent, with a schedule that's too ten in difficulty two years in a row.
since
Why everyone is shocked that he can't win games, or recruit talent to a school near the bottom of power conferences for NIL is beyond me.

We were predicted bottom of conference before the season even started. Because everyone thought we had bottom of the conference talent. It's not because the collective universe decided after a single season that Walters had good talent but was "hiddenly disabled."

He is a never before head coach and you have been kissing his a$$ since he arrived...
It has taken this long for you to admit that CRW can't manage a winning football team.
If CRW is your brother,just let us know up front as your posts would then become more logical....
Lord, save our Gridiron Boilers and some Purdue fans that just don't get it......

 

[Akerphin]

The flip side is, do you want him making a huge decision like this and then retiring right after?

Fire Walters, put Mr. Bobinski out to pasture now and go get an AD who can bring/hire a coach. Sounds like we have IU football fans running our Athletic Department.

Lol kissing his ass how? I'm sorry I haven't been engaging in the DEI, he's a moron, worst coach ever fest some of y'all want to engage in for whatever reason.

I guess that's "kissing his ass." Lol

Compared to good P4 head coaches he IS a moron, and he is our worst coach ever.

Wole, is that you,disguised as qazpim???

 

[RossMackey]

I mean obviously that wasn't true. Did you expect him to say, boy we don't have enough to compete right now? None of the experts believed him, that's why every publication had us last in the conference.

Ok he's a terrible coach. He's still here next season. We still need more talent.
Nothing changes about that, no one is "excusing" anything by pointing out we have more than one problem.

He's gone after next season. This perverse idea of making the team as bad as possible as some sort of punishment to Walters or the AD by not wanting to improve the talent is something I don't get.

So even if one thinks he's an idiot who should go do something else and never coach another football game at any level, why wouldn't you still want more talent and NIL for the NEXT coach to work with?

Why wouldn't you want to start working on those issues now?

And yes, recognizing that almost ANY coach would have had a huge hill to climb with our situation and quite frankly probably wouldn't have made a bowl game either season is valid. That says nothing about whether or not Walters has done a bad job. Or excuses the performance. It recognizes we have multiple, systemic problems with the program that aren't solved simply by "get a coach who doesn't suck."

Ok I think I understand…

You’re advocating throwing wads of cash to allow a coach you acknowledge is a liar and a BS-er to somehow convince talented kids to play at Purdue for a year, before he is canned.

This coach who has demonstrated zero ability to attract or develop the limited talent he does have….

Ummm, ok, I guess—- I have no idea why this scheme would be even remotely attractive to recruits, or remotely beneficial to Purdue’s reputation

But that’s just me.

LMAO now he's a liar because he was optimistic at the start of the season?

Y'all are unhinged.

It isn’t at all helpful to this “interesting “ scheme you’re proposing, but you really need to read what YOU wrote in this thread…

One person in this conversation asserted that what CRW publicly pronounced about his level of support “wasn’t true”….

Please “hinge” me and help me understand, counselor— if THAT isn’t a lie, what is it?
a fib?
a little white boo-boo?
Misplaced bravado/BS??

How, precisely, are Purdue fans — who desperately care about the football program and our hard- earned reputation —- supposed to divine when CRW is serious, and when he’s merely blowing smoke up our azzzes??

You’re completely correct to call out the stupids who try to paint this as a DEI conspiracy, but this disingenuous nonsense isn’t any more palatable, IMO.

The other explanation is that he is totally clueless at talent evaluation and actually believed he had the right players to make his idiotic defensive scheme work.

After we had -4 rush yards against Mich State you think he’d hammer that home. Nope…he has no clue and can’t adjust. Indiana by 30

Oh please. If you're going to whine because the head coach waxed optimistic at the beginning of the season instead of telling his team and the world they didn't have enough talent to compete makes him a liar then you are either being disingenuous or a complete ass.

Either way, it's a waste of time interacting with.

 

[mryankee2397]

if he returns, then all season ticket holders need to refrain from renewing. maybe that will force them to make a move

No whining here, slick…

I’m just trying to figure out what the hell CRW seeks to accomplish— every presser since the ISU game has been the exact same festival of mumblin’ , stumblin’ generalities….

Nobody on this roster has improved in a year, and CRW has shown zero ability to game plan, to help these kids learn from mistakes, or how to compete

Honestly, you’re making a wise decision not to engage any further on this topic, given how poorly you have rationalized how CRW has taken a Maserati, and turned it into a Ford Pinto.

Maserati? More like a dented up Corvette to a Pinto maybe

Well this appears to be another swing and a miss by Tom

Thank goodness!!!!!

 

[Jaycee79]

His reporting on Walters returning was as bad as all the pollsters predicting a Harris win. He has lost some credibility on this one. The pollsters were never credible to begin with.

 

[PaBoiler78]

Thank goodness!!!!!

at least he's consistent
