Sign me up. He's played in three games as a true freshman.

Lots of football left this year, but this is the death spiral for coaches: growing disappointment from on-field results leads to less fan NIL support, which means you lose current roster players as other programs circle, you still don't have any funds to replace them with other transfers, and you can add HS preps but they won't be able to help improve on-field results for 2-3 years.

At that point, you almost have to fire and hire to reboot fan excitement and rally NIL donations.

Still a lot of football left to play but things can get interested if Purdue ends up 2-10. The coaching carousel will be busy

Begs the question how smart a practice is it to hire for your new head coach a coordinator from within conference who has lost to you 2 years in a row. Not saying either of those two losses were on Walters, and certainly coordinators have gotten the head job at other schools within a conference, but I always thought it was a little strange. And actually if you go back to Missouri days, his record against Purdue is 1-3.

you think they would get rid of Walters after year 2 ? at Purdue ?

I don’t see it . I think they gotta give him 4 years . He’s been recruiting decently

They will give him 3 years max if they don't make it to a bowl next year. He didn't walk into a total rebuild--he walked into a team that had made the Big Ten Championship the year before.
