What happens to our program, if Walters does not end up getting let go this year?

Now we have to figure out our overtime strategy. Always something to do. Haha

With our defense, we won’t hold anyone out from scoring a touchdown, so we might as well go for a possible TD each time and the 2 point conversion and possibly get lucky. Not that we have to worry about that in our final few games.

Saints fired their HC this morning after losing seven in a row. I know it is NFL, but college football is professional now to a certain now with the NIL and TV contracts. Time for us to follow the Saints.

Hard to blame Walters too much here, if at all. He was offered the job and took it. As others have previously mentioned there should have been more oversight on how the staff was put together. It's painfully obvious Walters needed guidance. Walters now and has been in a situation in which he's learning on the job. Not ideal for a B1G football.

In addition to only 1 win this year, the team has noticeably regressed in every facet outside of maybe punting this year.

It was a head scratcher of a hire, but I was optimistic. However, you just can't let this level of ineptitude continue for a third year in today's P4 college football. Losing is one thing, but what's worse is losing the fan base.

With this big of a gamble, there certainly better have been an early exit strategy when the gamble failed.

Exactly. What if we had offered Walters the same salary with a buyout of $1 million instead of $9 million. Would he have turned it down to stay as a DC at Illinois?

Probably. Most agents are negotiating these buyouts big time because they know a job like Purdue is risky and success is not a guarantee.

You’d be hard pressed to find coaching contracts in the P4 that don’t have these massive guarantees
