  • Purdue has fired coach Ryan Walters after two seasons, sources confirmed to CBS Sports. The Boilermakers finished their season with a 66-0 loss to rival Indiana on Saturday to finish the season 1-11 without a win against FBS competition.

Purdue University has fired head football coach Ryan Walters following a disastrous 2024 season where the team recorded a 1-11 record, marking one of the worst performances in the program's history. Walters, who was in his second year, faced mounting pressure after the Boilermakers struggled significantly, particularly on defense, which was supposed to be his area of expertise.
