Reports: Purdue fires head coach Ryan Walters after 2 seasons

Purdue fired head football coach Ryan Walters after two seasons, multiple media outlets reported Sunday.

The reports come on the heels of the Boilermakers enduring their worst loss in the program's history, a 66-0 shellacking by No. 10 Indiana on Saturday.

The setback was Purdue's 11th in a row since it opened the season with a 49-0 victory over Indiana State on Aug. 31.

It was all downhill from there for the Boilermakers, who were 1-11 this season and 5-19 during Walters' two years at the school.

Purdue was shut out three times in the past six games, outscored 146-0.

Walters was hired to replace Jeff Brohm prior to the 2023 season when Brohm departed for Louisville.
