Come on, they will give him at least another year, please!Walters may not make it to the bucket game.

I don’t know. Shut the program down?When teams start firing coordinators mid-year, it’s full-on dumpster fire mode.
Gee, where have we seen this kind of thing before?
All of these types of moves are only to placate the angry mob because every fanbase always wants a head on a platter.
It doesn’t help the team get any better.
Hell, Purdue should fire their DC. As terrible as the offense has been, the defense is worse.
He may not make till MondayWalters is all but gone and it's a matter of will they do it in season or at the end of the season. I saw that the Boilers lost a 4-star cornerback who decommitted after yesterday's game and their recruiting class for next season was already ranked dead last in the conference before that.
For their next search, it’s not the most appealing job. Roster is a mess and their NIL is not great.Walters is all but gone and it's a matter of will they do it in season or at the end of the season.

...after yesterdays game they had a veteran, starting CB leave the team...M. Brown, don't remember his 1st name...stay tuned...certainly the story has just begun...
Florida will likely go after Chadwell.This is a perfect example of "don't wait". Walters can't do it. You can give him one more off season to really hit the portal hard, and possibly with more money, but there's no reason that shouldn't have been done last year. Maybe he gets one more year, but I'd assume that year is going to be bad and then he'll be out anyway, so all keeping him will ultimately accomplish is to waste another year.
If there's anything that Curt Cignetti has shone a spotlight on it's that it comes from the top down. Purdue should find a coach that's got a great track record, period (not at a high school, by the way, but then again some ADs don't even need a good track record at a high school to be impressed). It shows that they know who to hire and who to recruit. It could be at a lower level - it doesn't matter.
I'm thinking a guy like Jamey Chadwell at Liberty, formerly of Coastal Carolina. If I was Purdue, I'd be all over that guy RIGHT NOW.
Don't wait.
3 decommits from this incoming class & a 4* QB from the 2026 class. They're down to 10 recruits & rated the worse in the BIG.Decommits starting to become an issue.

Yea. $9M buyout for him after this year is probably tough for PU to handle. May be one more year.I think he gets a 3rd year: big buyout and the reasoning behind it. Coaches are going to want 3 years to try to make something happen at PU. That being said, Walters better find a DeBoer PDQ and hit the portal hard: the sharks are circling.
I hope 1 more yearYea. $9M buyout for him after this year is probably tough for PU to handle. May be one more year.
In order to truly be the Darrell Hazell II, he's going to need 2 more years.I hope 1 more year
With the windfall of money now coming in to Big Ten schools, that buyout is a drop in the bucket. IU paid nearly double that to Allen.Yea. $9M buyout for him after this year is probably tough for PU to handle. May be one more year.
I think your memory is a little off. Rod Carey took over for Hiller on an interim basis during that season. Bostad was hired to replace Carey in the offseason. Rumor is Carey was doing analyst work for us while he was waiting for a HC or OC offer. He didn't want position coach jobs.Yeah no kidding. Everything is lining up for IU with coaching and schedule and transfers etc but it's 5 games into year 1. Have to see if IU can keep the fans engaged. Also curious how they'll do on the road against a solid team.
PU had to make a change and for a mid season change you're stuck with who else you have on staff. IU was "fortunate" to have Bostad on staff both when they had to fire the o line coach and later the coordinator. I put that in quotes because it's crazy to have someone like that sitting on staff when you're handing the offense to Walt Bell and Hiller...
I'm repeating myself but it's funny to watch PU make all the same mistakes IU made several years ago. After Brohm they could have found a good coach. They have some history of winning (Tiller, Brohm) and normally draw fans, a couple factors IU hasn't had.
