Tom reporting Walters likely to return…
- Thread starter IronChefBBQ
- Start date
I’m not one to push the narrative but I’ve noticed something here on the board that I won’t share publicly. I’ll just say in places where certain things and people get mentioned the posts disappear if the discussion doesn’t take off and get big enough to where people would notice edits. It’s especially aggressive immediately after losses…
Me thinks “big brother” is watching and under strict command to control narratives here in exchange for continued access to the programs.
Overall, I don’t think Walters was a DEI hire. He earned a shot. The question I would ask is that if he’s retained…he’s wasted his shot and proved he doesn’t belong…so why is he still here outside of everybody simply waiting on a miracle n his tenure that’s never going to come?
Is it a Black AAD who is in charge of diversity keeping him around for diversity’s sake? And if so…why? That’s poor leadership to the max.
So after two seasons, who is comfortable at throwing $11 million at Purdue Football and allowing CRW to hire new assistant coaches and correctly evaluate portal talent...?
You know that is a good point. Regardless of what happens, there is a host of new assistants coming in.. that you're paying for anyway.. why not do all of that under a new coach?
I've been telling my friends for weeks that I can't wait for this nightmare of a season to end.
Not at all. Bobo isn’t sticking his replacement with a bigger dumpster fire. Which would be a $9 payout and a replacement you didn’t pick with a full contract. Keep Walters and bring in a new AD next year before football starts. Walters will be gone 4-5 games into the season.
We’re spending money, but it’s on stupid stuff like tunnels for our crummy team to run through.
I’m just glad Mbob is flushing a year of football so things can happen on HIS timeline.
BoBo has done an awesome job with the other sports at Purdue.
I still believe the sole reason that Walters has not been fired is because none of YOU that have complained about him have ponied up the $10 million to replace him.
You want a new coach. To get a new coach, you will need to find the money for Walters buyout and the new coach Will want more money than Walters if you expect him to bring Purdue back to mediocrity.
WHICH one of YOU that wants Walters fired is willing to put your money where your mouth is? I can hear crickets chirping.
On a plus side, Walters has faced 4 schools ranked in the top 5 this year and faced a top 25 Illinois and a top 10 IU. Would any coach have been able to win those games? The sad part is the schedule isn’t going to get any easier going forward as we look to having teams like USC and Washington on our schedule. The BIG10 didn’t do Purdue any favors with their last 4 additions.
I truly believe Purdue just doesn’t have the money to buy out Walters. They earmarked too much of that revenue for facility upgrades. Purdue is asking alumni to pony up for the NIL and now asking for more money to replace the coach? Sorry. There is just so much money alumni are willing to give.
You keep talking about the new Big10 network revenue. But you have no idea how much of that money has already been earmarked for other expenditures. You moan and complain Purdue gives out so little NIL money. Is it possible that’s because Purdue just doesn’t have the money to give?
Who here gives Purdue $1 million a year? That is the person who has a right to complain. If you don’t give, then accept the product you are given

Take your meds.
Every single one of us that has spent money going to games, donating, buying Purdue gear has already put funds toward NIL/coaches salaries/etc. as that is literally how it works.
But with you not being a Purdue fan, you don't get it.
Walters isnt up to the task. Your question is a great one...why is he here right now when he should have been let go during the bye. Its even more eggregious if tom is correct and he gets another year if the powers that be use wins and losses as their main kpi. If its not wins and losses is it money, pride, or something else? I really dont know and i doubt a straight answer is ever given but they are setting the program back by years by this decision. We have to build the team with solid recruiting. We dont have the cash or desire to invest to make a huge splash in the nil world. We are hemorraging recruits left and right and nobody will tske walters serious on the recruiting front going forward. To your point.....why? Whats more important than having a competitive football program from an athletic department viewpoint.
