Why I don’t think Walters 100% gets fired and why that’s a good thing

HA! That and a cup of hot coffee is a good start to my day.

Credit where credit is due @BCfanatic2020 , that was funny. We need more funny in this world.

Oh no no no. I am not giving a dime. But I’m fine with 5-7. The giving is only required of those who complain. Anyone who has expectations and ISNT giving needs to be the one to put the money where their mouth is.

We're not getting 5-7 with Walters even if we increase NIL spending. Likely 2-10 best case scenario next year.

Yeah I’m not happy with this year. However, my unhappiness doesn’t rise to a level beyond “eh” because I don’t believe in regular people saying “hey I’m not gonna take mine on a vacation this year because I gotta help get a stud linebacker from Toledo to Purdue.” Therefore I have no right to cry.

If our mega donors and rich alum aren’t embarrassed by some of the taunting they are likely getting in Indy and south of Indy, oh well. I would be but then again I’m not worth no $25 million dollars.

I don’t believe in this system so I’m not gonna cry. This is not “hey how come our coach can’t win recruiting battles cause he’s a nice guy.” Now you need cash.

Walters hasn’t don’t well, don’t take the above as me saying he isn’t hasn’t performed really poorly, but if I’m the admin and donors, why not wait one year until we know what the landscape is?

Take the example of Nic Scourton. A lot of these kids come from working class backgrounds. Times are tough. Even if Texas A&M doubles your NIL offer, are you really bolting over christmas if you just made $250-300K in tv money per year the last two years?

The decision (and no @pboiler18 im not saying anyone needs to like it) was likely made that once the conditions in the previous paragraph are known and mapped out, that now gives even the lowliest big ten schools a competitive advantage over a LOT of schools they don’t have one over now. Let Walters deal run one more year, put next years money into basketball (more so than you would with a good football coach), spend next year with everyone knowing the writing is on the wall, then go to a better pool of candidates with less of a buy out for Walters.

You also get the benefit of signing two coordinators and seeing if one of them jumps off the page as the next guy

If they keep Walters in not sure I’ll ever have seen a duck so lame. And I was a supporter for as long as I could be

The problem with your "logic" is that you can't let this program sink any lower or revenue and whatever NIL Purdue is getting is going to decline significantly. Losing donors is not what this program needs right now. And that's what will happen in your scenario...
