I'm guessing that there was no one to choose as interim.Nobody from the administration tried to step in earlier and now we’re toast
The contract wasn't the problem. The person impersonating as coach was the problem...It's truly amazing how stupid Purdue seems to be! They owe a lousy coach, someone who should not have been hired in the first place, 9 million dollars, for ruining their program. Talk about a waste of money. One has to give Walters credit though. He did a lousy job and now gets to sit back and enjoy a 9 million dollar for so doing! Hopefully, Purdue will be smart enough to write a better contract for their next hire, but I doubt it!
