Purdue Fires Head Coach Ryan Walters After Two Seasons
Ad
Purdue has terminated the contract of head coach Ryan Walters, it was reported on Sunday. Walters had a dismal record of 5-19 in his two years with the Boilermakers, including a 3-15 mark in Big Ten play and a winless 1-11 record against FBS competition this season. His departure comes just a day after Purdue was thrashed by rival No. 10 Indiana, 66-0.
Walters was hired to replace Jeff Brohm prior to the 2024 season after serving as Illinois’ defensive coordinator for two years. However, he failed to replicate his success in West Lafayette, where the Boilermakers allowed an average of 35.2 points per game and surrendered 40 or more points in eight of their 24 games during his tenure.
