Ryan Walters
Rumblings on the internets that the former Purdue HC is being considered as a co-DC with Robert Bala. Called one of the stingiest defenses in America his last year at Illinois prompting his promotion to HC at Purdue. He’s young, has a history as a successful play caller in the Big10 and he’s from LA. This would give me a major boner. I just figured UW wouldn’t consider a young guy with so much upside because when do they ever do that? Make it happen Jedd.

I would feel much better if this happened, then if we only had Bala.
I like proven DC's over promoted assistants. I like Kwat over Lake.

why’d home dude leave if he’s the HC or did he get shit-canned?
Dick cheese is mentioning Eric bienhamy as well which would be cool.

Dick Cheez rulz.

Walters was canned at Purdue. He was a DC at Missouri from 16-20 and at Illinois in 21 and 22. He’s called plays for many years. Some guys just aren’t good in the big chair. UW would be a nice fit for him to get back to what he does best. The Bienemy thing is weird. He sucks, not sure what he brings but another failed NFL voice. What is it he does well and can improve at UW? I think Fish just wants to show off his Super Bowl rings on recruiting visits. Be a pro. -
My thoughts exactly
-
IMHO, Walters coming in would be an improvement over Steve Belichick. He's likely a better recruiter and would harvest SoCal, Colorado, and the midwest nicely.

Been a successful DC in the SEC and the B10. You make contacts when you coach in certain areas. I’m sure he could be clued into more than a few kids that want to make a trip west to play ball. I’m all in on this guy. I earmarked him and Jim Lenhard when Bill took the job at NC. Just thought Jedd wouldn’t look at college coaches to fill the position. I’m pretty stoked at the possibility of this dude coming to Seattle.
-
He's had a ton of shit tier defenses.
-
Well, they’re hiring him. It’s a good hire. I can’t wait to hate him.

He’s only had one clunker as a solo DC and that was the Covid year. I’ll give him a pass for that.
-
Can't wait to hate him!
But Jedd does need someone to run that side of the ball.
-
He needs someone to run the offense, too. HTH
-
AGREE. He won't admit it unfortunately
-
Bienemy is coming to UW to do what, exactly? He sucks.
Knowing UW's history, UW will make the playoff next year, Fisch leaves, and upper campus hires Bienemy as HC to make the local media feel good.
-
I like the Walters hire. He’s a very good DC and I also like that he was such a massively shitty head coach no one in their right mind will hire him to be a head coach for several more years at least.
-
Jedd will sell the shit outta the “Bienemy coached Pat Mahomes” angle, which may land us a dumb croot or two. Or not. IWIBI🤷♂️

Good lookin out.👌 I hadn’t see that one in a while.
-
to be an 'analyst.' have him recruit, flash some super bowl rings? i dunno what an analyst does.
-
Why are you guys getting worked up about Bienemy being hired as an analyst? Wasn't Bob Gregory hired as an analyst for Oregon? They don't do shit. Who cares?
-
We didn’t just hit a home run with Ryan Walters, we hit a grand slam.
-
How many men were on each base?
-
Is recruiting really a thing anymore? Seems like you tell them how much you’ll pay them and that you’re going to pay a lot for a good o-line or whatever complimentary position matters to them and hope Oregon or Ole Miss doesn’t offer more.
