If you knew you were in the right, you keep your head up and shake hands. If you're a dirty coward that is full of shame and guilt, you don't make eye contact and blow by as quick as you can.
Jim had his eyes and head straight up
November 4th, 2023 at 11:09 PM ^
Its a bit of a shock to see a rookie head coach showing so little respect for a legend in the making. Have some class you fucking clown. You will probably want a job on Harbaugh's staff down the road when you are inevitably fired in a couple of years.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:14 PM ^
I don't know if a job on Harbaugh's staff was happening even before that.
November 5th, 2023 at 12:12 AM ^
Wow - what a tool that guy is.
November 5th, 2023 at 10:14 AM ^
What a coward. Can't even look the man in the eye.
November 4th, 2023 at 10:59 PM ^
Ryan Walters is a cunt.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:12 PM ^
What is it about that first name??
November 4th, 2023 at 11:40 PM ^
Ryan is the male version of Karen
November 5th, 2023 at 12:49 AM ^
Ouch man
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
Walters is the worst coach in the Big Ten. He’s nothing without Devon Witherspoon. Will be fired in 2 years
November 4th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
prolly get to coach him again after purdon't fires him, as the seahawks DB coach.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:13 PM ^
Seems like a clown but is a good defensive mind. It'll come down to talent and whether or not he ever has the guys to really do anything with it all. Which, tbh, is the reality for any HC at Purdue.
November 5th, 2023 at 10:53 AM ^
I was actually really impressed with his Defensive game plan and execution last night. Purdue seemed to be confusing JJ and provided a level of competition that was helpful at this point in the season, coming off a bye.
Thanks for the game film to learn from this week Ryan, you cunt.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
I have a new coach to hate in the B1G. Fuck Ryan Walters.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:02 PM ^
He won't be around long. Back to the coordinator ranks after a bit as a position coach maybe.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:17 PM ^
Please, Ryan Dye, hire me!!!
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
Bye Felicia
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
Walters' feelings hurt?
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
Well, now Purdue and their POS coach are on my shit list. Running out of teams to not hate.
I'd rather clown the last 3 teams though. I'll be there for Maryland. Please remain undefeated
November 4th, 2023 at 11:01 PM ^
Walters is a bitch. Lost and couldn't look Jim in the eye after getting his ass kicked.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:02 PM ^
he also ran the clock out at the end down a bazillion so Michigan couldn't score again, bitchmade bitch.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:02 PM ^
I hope Harbaugh have him the Jim Schwartz treatment plus a couple
November 4th, 2023 at 11:06 PM ^
funny story, I met Jimmy at Rick's in May 1996 at the celebrity golf outing after party. He gave me a big handshake that included a similar agressive back slap. I was pretty happy about it at the time, now I wonder if that was a good thing...
November 4th, 2023 at 11:02 PM ^
So Walters, do you still think Michigan stole your signs?
November 4th, 2023 at 11:05 PM ^
Also “what sign they steal that allowed you to gain about 45 yards on an errant muffed punt”?
November 4th, 2023 at 11:27 PM ^
They lost because they had to change their signs and that took away from real practice time. This was MSU's excuse too. This is the built-in excuse now...even though stealing signs is legal and everyone does it and everyone knew we were good at it (even if a little too good) so they've always known us having their signs was a threat so it's not actually new information.
And did Purdue huddle like he said they would? I didn't really notice.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:42 PM ^
Drove me nuts that the announcer said it was unfair to Purdue because they had to take time to change up their signs. They had two weeks and should be changing them regularly anyway. What a joke.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:46 PM ^
Also are sideline signs so integral to the game that the execution doesn’t matter? I can’t stand Deion Sanders but he said it best when he said “you still gotta stop the play”.
Also, Michigan stole signs… not your actual play call. Deciphering between run or pass is not that hard and stealing a God damn sideline signal is not the same as knowing you’re going to throw to the Y receiver on a Trips Left - Cut Motion - Gel Flex on 2, which is an actual play call. If you don’t have 10 or so options from the initial sideline play call, you should feel very bad.
November 5th, 2023 at 12:08 AM ^
That’s my take as well, there is zero chance Michigan is able to glean as much information from these signals as some people are trying to make it seem like.
No coach in America is running the same exact play multiple times throughout the season outside of base plays that only get used situationally in short yardage or blowouts. If you’re running the same exact play with no alterations multiple times throughout the year, you’re just a bad coach and it won’t matter if opponents have the signs or not.
run/pass and direction of the play is likely the MOST Michigan would be able to gather from knowing your signs. Deciphering those signals and relaying them to the defense in time to adjust our play-call before the snap takes place makes it even harder to believe Michigan had some massive advantage if the allegations are all true.
Seems like the most likely scenario is Michigan knew certain signals meant certain things, and were able to couple that knowledge with regular scouting of opponent scheme, alignment, and tendencies. As many have pointed out, the issue isn’t the fact that Michigan knew the signals. Sign stealing is part of the game and everyone does it. The issue would be the methods used to obtain the information. But it’s definitely crazy to listen to people acting like Michigan had everyone’s entire playbook downloaded or something.
November 5th, 2023 at 7:26 AM ^
Yeah but we didn't cover the spread last night so your theory is disproved.
/s
November 5th, 2023 at 12:15 AM ^
You mean coaches have to take the time to put their team in the best position to win each week against different opponents? Well that sucks, I'm so sorry you needed to do that. Hopefully he doesn't have to do anything special for his next opponent.
Poor guy.
November 5th, 2023 at 2:14 PM ^
They didn't huddle, but they had 4 guys in different colored shirts on the sideline all potentially sending in signals. Unless they periodically changed the person who was sending in the real signal, a junior high kid could probably have figured it out.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
That was a drive-by with extra acceleration.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:04 PM ^
Homeboy couldn’t stand to acknowledge his team got their asses kicked, fair and square.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:05 PM ^
Im pretty sure Fleck is the only one who sees this for what it is: absolutely zero tangible advantage. We are just better than everyone we played. They aren’t even in our class. Fleck said as much before this all came out and I suspect he is the “anonymous” coach who reiterated the sentiment. It doesn’t matter if we have the heads up or not, you lose.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:26 PM ^
Probably Kirk as well - he knows Jim personally.
November 5th, 2023 at 9:50 AM ^
I have a hard time believing Kirk Ferentz is signing onto this BS.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:06 PM ^
Bro got a head job off of an NFL talent who was there before he was. That defense was annoying but it wasn't schematically anything special. He's not going to get talent to Purdue. Have going back to mid-tier coordinating gigs. Purdue's garbage and shall remain garbage. Who gives a shit about them.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:46 PM ^
Bro got a head job off of an NFL talent
Are we not doing phrasing anymore ?
November 5th, 2023 at 12:12 AM ^
I read it the same way and was like “whoa wut?”
November 5th, 2023 at 3:55 AM ^
Made sense to me. Walters had some great players at Illinois and got a head coaching gig as a result.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:06 PM ^
Choo Choo muthafuka
November 4th, 2023 at 11:06 PM ^
He fits right in the Bitch 10
November 4th, 2023 at 11:07 PM ^
I have to imagine it was pretty PG
November 4th, 2023 at 11:09 PM ^
Fuck that little bitch! He coached with fatass Bert last year so what do you expect? We don’t need signs to beat your pathetic ass team. 90-13 without Stallions so far. What else do you all fucking have for us?
November 4th, 2023 at 11:09 PM ^
I'm really hoping someone shares video at some point. Just to increase my sense of superiority over that douche.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
Him and all these other B1G coaches are punks who don't want to confront Jim on a phone call, so they talk about him behind his back to Daddy Pettiti and ask him to do something about the bad man.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:15 PM ^
At this point, I just want someone to come out and say “we lost because they stole our signs”. If coaches really feel this way, come out and say it. If not, stfu with all this noise.
Also if you feel so strongly that the advantage of stealing signs is so insurmountable, then protest the game and refuse to play. If you do play the game, you’re essentially saying I accept the results on a fair playing field.
November 4th, 2023 at 11:10 PM ^
I did see the handshake -- no eye contact, looked like Walters was trying as hard as he could to diss Harbaugh.
