I get many including yourself might disagree with me and that’s fine. I would choose my kids 10 out of 10 times especially after uprooting them their entire lives. His life, his decision but having a wife and kids these career decisions affect everyone. When he made that decision to leave late in 2023, both daughters were in high school. She made her commitment at 16/17 years of age and seemed really excited especially considering UW softball was a premier program and an excellent university. Image changing schools and friends every 2-3 years your entire life from day 1 and again in the middle of her senior year of high school. Yes she stayed but her family was still uprooted and separated. 18 isn’t a great argument in terms of decision making and technically becoming an actual adult.

This isn’t a criticism of your personal decision and maybe it’s a bad assumption on my part but I don’t believe you have children. Obviously you can have an opinion but unless you’re a father you can’t really relate. He’s not making a choice between $500k vs $10 million/year.

I’m conflicted pressing “post comment” because I don’t want to be insensitive or come across as an asshole about having/not having children. I’m very protective of my family especially my kids and grandchildren. I can’t relate to DeBoer from a career standpoint but as a father myself the decision would be VERY EASY.
