As I stated in an earlier thread I was underwhelmed by the selection but would wait until at least he names his OC and DC and see what they and other Football staff he hires bring to Purdue!

I can understand why Purdue fans might not be altogether happy with Ryan’s hire. However, Illini fans are sad to see him go.I think it’s wise to be skeptical of any hire, particularly of one who has never led a program. There is no sure thing when hiring a coach, even a "name" coach.
Let's see what Walters has to say when he is introduced. Brohm won his first press conference six years ago. I think it's safe to say Walters won his first meeting with the players.
I hope Walters leaves your offensive staff intact.I can understand why Purdue fans might not be altogether happy with Ryan’s hire. However, Illini fans are sad to see him go.
He’s young, has a brilliant defensive mind and is an excellent communicator. I cannot imagine he won’t win his initial press conference. To say he’s an impressive guy would be an understatement. Obviously his success/failure will be determined by who he hires on the offensive side of the ball but give him a chance. I think Purdue fans will come around after a short while.
Hard to blame the fans…I wouldn’t burn an entire Saturday to watch BielemaBall either.And just maybe he may bring a few players with him that liked playing for the guy! Probably some of his players might enjoy playing in front of fans that actually show up for games! Saw maybe 2 or 3 games of IL.....smaller stadium that always appeared to be only 75% full! Pathetic!
Agreed. I’d absolutely hate to lose our OL coach.I hope Walters leaves your offensive staff intact.
I'd take their running backs coach, Cory Patterson. He coached up Chase Brown and he has recruiting ties in St Louis which produces some good football players. Everyone else on the offensive side can stay there.I hope Walters leaves your offensive staff intact.

i noticed that was from the indy star and they did not post one single negative twitter comment. talk about a slanted and less than objective post.
he likes schools w/ black and gold colors.USA Today rated the hiring as a B/B-. It also revealed Walters was in line for the Colorado head coaching job before Prime Time entered the picture!
Kids got alot of connections. The fact that he hangs out with Bienemy and discusses offenses and defenses is pretty cool. Should be interesting to hear who he is looking at for an OC.i noticed that was from the indy star and they did not post one single negative twitter comment. talk about a slanted and less than objective post.
He can also assist in recruiting.Brees is coming on as interim assistant for the bowl game? Interesting...
Yes, agreed. Boise State fired their offensive coordinator a few games into this season and brought in Dirk Koetter for the rest of the year. It actually worked out pretty well. Mr. Brees, with his game wisdom, and his competitive personality may turn out to lead to something more. I'm just thinking out loud.He can also assist in recruiting.
First thing I thought. Now get Rosie in there and tell the Louisville guys to hit the bricks!Maybe Bobo is trying to neutralize the Brohm poaching factor by having Drew in and around the players.... Smart move..
Getting Rosie to help out is a great idea.First thing I thought. Now get Rosie in there and tell the Louisville guys to hit the bricks!
Saw him today at his UPS store in Indy…looked like he was ready to go!Getting Rosie to help out is a great idea.
I think I saw Rosie tweet something to the effect of "just call me"Saw him today at his UPS store in Indy…looked like he was ready to go!
All they gotta do is ask…
I also saw he never met Jeff Brohm before…I thought that was interestingI think I saw Rosie tweet something to the effect of "just call me"
Read that this is in the works to happen.I'd take their running backs coach, Cory Patterson. He coached up Chase Brown and he has recruiting ties in St Louis which produces some good football players. Everyone else on the offensive side can stay there.
their one Rb Josh McCray ran all over us last year. He's 6'1 235, would be a nice complement to Mock. Played only 3 games this year musy have been hurtI'd take their running backs coach, Cory Patterson.

Just looked it up, you're right. Says he battled injuries all season and took a redshirt this season since he only played in 3 games.their one Rb Josh McCray ran all over us last year. He's 6'1 235, would be a nice complement to Mock. Played only 3 games this year musy have been hurt
