Purdue has quickly concluded their head football coach search by hiring Ryan Walters as the program's 37th head coach.
In his second season as defensive coordinator for Illinois in 2022, Walters emerged as one of the nation's best defensive play callers. The illini posted an 8-4 record, with five wins holding their opponents under seven points and seven wins at 10 points or fewer."I am incredibly humbled and honored to serve as the head football coach at Purdue University," Walters said.
"We are thrilled for Coach Ryan Walters and his family to join us here at Purdue University," Bobinski said."From an early point in the search process, Coach Walters stood out because of the energy, passion and intelligence he displayed as a defensive coordinator in both the Big Ten Conference and Southeastern Conference. His meteoric rise in the coaching profession is in large part due to his unique ability to connect with his student-athletes as both a coach and mentor.
Walters 5-year agreement is pending formal approval by the University’s Board of Trustees. Purdue will provide full details following the board’s approval. The remainder of December, Walters will spend time appointing new staff, recruiting, and observing Purdue’s preparation for the Cheez-it Citrus Bowl against LSU on Jan. 2.
Walters will be introduced at a welcome event that will be streamed live on Purdue Football social media at Noon ET on Wednesday, Dec. 14, from the Kozuch Football Performance Complex.
