Come on, they will give him at least another year, please!
Harrell fired by Purdue
- Thread starter edub72
- Start date
I don’t know. Shut the program down?
Cignetti has already won more games than Walters, lol
Walters 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.
...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...
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.

Florida will likely go after Chadwell.
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.
The one really special thing about Purdue football is the QB history. The most successful coach since Jack M. in the '60s was Tiller, a pass first HC. Drew Brees is a high profile guy who supports the program. So why in the world would they hire a no-name DC with no "it" factor as their HC? Idiotic.

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. Plus, AD's don't like to admit failure. Hazell got 4 years. That being said, Walters better find a DeBoer PDQ and hit the portal hard: the sharks are circling.
Yea. $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.
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.
He took over for Bell the next season after we fired him too. He wasn't retained after Allen was let go but it looks like he's just not coaching this year. Hope he gets back into it, as he did a good job as OL coach.
No. It most certainly is not a drop in the bucket at PU.
