You don't know his offensive philosophy or who OC will be. Why do you assume it will be Bielema ball?
Whole lot of arm-chair ADs here
- Thread starter Chi-Boiler
- Start date
We’ve gotten a lot closer with high flying offenses run by future NFL QBs. Hard to maintain those when you are always chasing OCs.
He doesn’t have an offensive philosophy… that’s a huge part of the problem. His will change every time he has to replace his OC.
Shepard would make more sense if hiring a coordinator for alot of reasons.
And we know the current players loved Shepard, who should have been well ahead of Walters on Bobinski's list. That is if Bobinski knew what he was doing and I really doubt he does.
Somebody with a proven track record of being in the 1% most effective OCs or offensive minded coaches. Somebody whose team leads their conference and a top 5 or so national offense in passing. I actually don’t think it needed to be a head coach, but it must be somebody with proven genius in this one super critical area, and enough reason to believe they can put the rest of the pieces together. It must start with this, or we are doomed. We struck out.
I’m sure it will be closer to that than the entertaining football we are accustomed to.
Just a reminder that Kirby Smart was never a head coach or offensive coordinator until he took the head position at UGA.
His offenses have been decent most seasons, as well.

I'd like to. But there is no time anymore to lose a season or two being mediocre. Everyone else is adding Coaches that are running high powered offenses. Nobody cares about defense. This sounds a lot like the Hazel hire. "give him time" there is no time and Purdue never has had a good running team. Illinois tried it and we beat them passing.
You don't hire a developmental coach for a P5 Big Ten program. You just don't.
If Walters were hired at a G5 school as head coach, I could see that being a good hire.
In big boy football, I just don't.
If Walters recruits like Kirby Smart, then his offenses will be fine, no matter who the OC is.
Part of the problem with hiring a young assistant coach is that he will not be able to bring recruits or staff with him. Brohm took our staff and several of our best recruits. When he came to Purdue he did the same from Western Michigan.
I doubt Walters will flip anyone from Illinois and getting a staff together will probably take some time.
We may know shortly. As a Bears fan I was skeptical pretty early when Haze brought in Shoop and said we were going to run the ball, Our fate was sealed before the first snap of the season.

and therein lies the problem. too many questions about this new coach. are we getting another of the many failures since 1970 or are we getting one of the three coaches that had some success? would have preferred a proven coach
Recruit like Kirby Smart? He has Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Tennesse 5/4 stars coming in every year, are you serious and yes we are all hopeful, Recruits want to play in big time offenses with a lot of touches.
And you can (try) to piss on it any way you want. Right?
Fact is you don't know squat about coach Walters and how he will fare.
You are making panic driven posts.
Sounds stupid doesn't it........
Was happy to be wrong on this. Still would prefer an offensive guy as HC to avoid the situation IU is in, but at least we have a guy for 2023.
Jesus....wonderful person...not sure how he feels about the new coaching hire....😁
I give give these coaching hires an A+
Very pleased with the choices made by the AD
