Purdue hired Ryan Walters to keep a promising program near the top of the Big Ten Conference.
Two years later, the Boilermakers have sunk to unprecedented depths — and Walters is out of a job.
Athletic director Mike Bobinski fired the first-time head coach on Sunday, following a brutal 1-11 season in which the Boilermakers made all the wrong kinds of history.
They lost their final 11 games to set the school’s single season record, endured the two most lopsided losses in program history, went winless in conference play for only the third time since 1946 and failed to beat an FBS opponent for the first time since 2013 and the second time in college football’s modern era.
