Purdue fires Ryan Walters after winless Big Ten season​

Purdue has fired coach Ryan Walters after two seasons, ending his tenure there at 5-19.

The Boilermakers went 1-11 in 2024 and finished the season with 11 consecutive losses, including going winless in the Big Ten. Purdue's season ended with a 66-0 loss at Indiana on Saturday.

Walters came to Purdue from his job as the defensive coordinator at Illinois. Prior to that, he had been the defensive coordinator at Missouri. He went 4-8 in his first season at Purdue, which included wins over Virginia Tech, Illinois and Indiana.

"This was a truly difficult decision, as head coach Ryan Walters continued to lead the Boilermakers with integrity, resilience and poise in the face of considerable challenges," Purdue athletic director Mike Bobinski said in a statement.

Walters is owed 75% of his remaining compensation at Purdue, which equates to $9.34 million. The school said it has begun a national search to find Walters' replacement.
