Chuck Martin, Miami (Ohio)
Miami (Ohio) coach Chuck Martin walks on the field during warmups prior to his team's game against Miami (Fla.) at Hard Rock Stadium.
Maybe the 64-66 record isn't impressive, but Martin has taken the Redhawks to five bowl games and has recruited Indiana well. Prior to making the jump to FBS, Martin succeeded Brian Kelly at Division II Grand Valley State, where he went 74-7 in six seasons and made three appearances in the NCAA Division II national championship game, winning twice. That earned him a job on Kelly's staff at Notre Dame, where he eventually became offensive coordinator before taking the Miami job in 2014.
If you can go 74 and 7 at GVS which is a bonified football powerhouse, and five bowl games at Miami of Ohio, along with knowing the recruits in the Midwest, he might be a solid choice. And he's' only making 600K at Miami.
Bo says he'll name the next coach in the next ten days.
What about Chuck?

Chuck Martin would be a great hire. He will rebuild the Boiler Program in the right manner! He gets it!! He will bring a no BS approach to Purdue! He had a major challenge at Miami and did a great job in rebuilding the program! In addition He completely knows the coaches in the Chicago, Indiana and Ohio areas.Chuck Martin, Miami (Ohio)

Actually Dienhart reported this on local radio yesterday. Then said no one will know who the next hire is until I announce it.
🚂
Edit: he said he chose Helton but grimes said it was going to be Walters
I find it interesting that some are holding it against coaches for coaching at a school for too long while at the same time wanting a coach that would stay committed to Purdue for many years........
MAC coaches offer no excitement or confidence. I'm sure it's still PTSD from Hazell but I'd rather exhaust all other options available.
Tom Dienhart said what? I’m trying to translate this. Dienhart said that Bobinski was hiring Helton but Tiffani Grimes overruled him and hired Walters? First of all, Dienhart knows nothing. He seems like a sweetheart of a guy, but he is not good at his job. Second, this makes no sense. Unless, of course, you have identified a boogeywoman to blame it on.
Why don’t you just say outright what you believe? What I don’t believe is that you actually know anything at all. Seems you’ve latched on to an explanation that makes you feel better.
Really? Seems the other way around because multiple people who do know have told me what I believe and I don't care one way or the other who gets the blame.
You don't know anything so you're believing what you want. And that's cool with me Miss Grimes.

I don’t understand what’s going on here, exactly, but if anybody pushed for Walters over Helton, they should never be any anywhere near a hiring process ever again at Purdue. Galactically stupid.
Not even close. First of all you look like a clown jumping from the AD to his assistant to assign blame.
Secondly, it’s a basketball school. Good coaches asked where the war chest is. Remember, when Walters was hired, the Purdue AD and donors were still hoping NIL wasn’t real.
I blame both.
And you look like a fool with all your Walters praise from the start. You continue to be a fool for focusing on NIL while contributing nothing.
Remember my argument on Walters. I wanted to see him against peer programs. By week 5 I wanted him gone. He sucks.
Both is good by me
