Wow. Going with a defensive hire that isn't Jim Leonhard.

Most of their successful coaches have been offense oriented.

I like that this makes two big ten west opponents worse.

Talk about a 180. Complete opposite of what has made them mildly relevant, and not even the biggest name out there.

Ryan Walters is a hell of a coach.

Purdue going away from the one thing that has worked there is interesting. Big, big loss for Illinois.

Holy Shit I feel old. Ryan Walters dad is Marc Walters who played at CU in the late 80's and was Darian Hagan's backup. I saw his Dad play, saw Ryan play in the late 2000's at CU, and now he's a HC.

That's what I was thinking as well

Weird hire.
When’s the last time someone thought defense when you looked at Purdue. And feels like a move where offensive players leave

I’m surprised he went there - I figured he’d wait for an easier job to open

Weakens Illinois and Purdue for sure. And pisses the hell out of Ferentz for having another African American HC added to the BIG.

There's a very funny universe where Irsay doesn't hire jeff saturday to tank his team and Brees gets the full time gig
