we sure don't win all those games without him and that top defense. if i am truly as ill-educated about the standing situation - apologies. but what happened for everyone here to hate him so much? like, why?
Not happening as long as Bielema and Whitman are here.
Completely unbeknownst to himself. Maybe (big maybe) this will instill some much needed humility. I suspect he is far, far away from another opportunity at this level. Hope the alimony doesn't take too much of his original contract.
You see it over and over

Every time I see this, I love it because something good is happening!!
Nice! You guys deserve to enjoy this after his stunt.
Walters will never be hired by Bret, again. And Purdue is going to struggle for years trying to recover from the bad blood he's created for the program.
What do you think caused Walters to fail. I am a bit surprised. Seemed like he put together a good staff and recruiting was going good early on....then it all fell apart
He’s a huge douche. He was close to getting fired at Mizzou it’s not like he was thought of as a defensive mastermind when he was there.
Don't agree with that, sometimes year 3 is break out year. Wish him luck in future endeavors. We act with class. I L L

He has no connections in the coaching world. Half his on field staff were Analysts or GAs before he brought them there. He also made Patterson his associate HC which is LOL
Bret’s tweet was about our commitment we got today not Walters getting canned

I think it's plausible to think that there's at least a potential double meaning to this tweet . . .

Dip your nuggets in my staff source sauce.
BB was talking about recruiting. Nothing more. It's absurd to speculate it was about Walters.
Based on other discussions here, apparently he’s off the charts arrogant (JW couldn’t stand him), he took credit for all of Illinois’s 2022 success on the recruiting trail, mistreats people, and allegedly unfaithful to his wife (both here and West Lafayette)…I’m sure there’s other things, though I hope not.

Only thing worries me about Purdue is that they are more willing to do gutsy stuff for hiring coaches, like trying hire Kinne, Huff, or Odom with Marrion in tow. Heck I would also worry about Will Stein or Kotelnicki there too.
Bret is way above that and wouldn’t stoop to that level. BB knew this was coming so it wasn’t news to him and certainly not worth tweeting about. We have a lot to be excited here; let’s forget PU.
It’s the same tweet he puts out whenever we get a commit
Plausible, sure, but I think Brett is too much of a class act to throw that kind of shade at Walters.

Consider how you treat people on your way up because you might need them when you stumble back down. Ryan Walters is a lesson in how not to handle yourself.
