Hammer and Rails Readers Survey Results – Ryan Walters’ Future & Men’s Basketball Minutes

How will Jacobsen’s loss come into play?

Survey results for the week are back early this week! That means you get to find out what everyone wants to do with Ryan Walters and what happens now that Jacobsen is out.

First, the topic on everyone’s mind. Ryan Walters’ future. All the news and rumors seem to hint that he will be returning for his third season with the team. What do the fans think though? I limited responses on this to just firing him at the end of the season because at this point there’s no chance he gets fired mid-year.

86% of respondents want Walters gone at the end of the season. I think most fans believe, rightfully so, that Purdue will end the season 1-11 while our biggest rival hired a new coach and is having their best ever season. It’s quite a 1-2 gut punch for Purdue fans.

Next, everyone had a bit more wiggle room to figure out who they wanted to choose in this one. Not just a yes or no. I listed three players here with room for “someone else”. Let’s see who you all think will garner more minutes in the wake of Jacobsen being out for the season.

Buddy the Elf himself, Caleb Furst, is the runaway winner here. If you listened to the latest episode of The Old Gold Show you’ll know that Casey is predicting a heavy dose of Caleb Furst tonight against Alabama. Now, if you chose someone else, who was it? Let us know in the comments.
