If UW wants to make the most of DeBoer's talents, Jen Cohen has to step down at season's end

We need somebody aggressive and serious to lead UW in the new era of NIL

The culture of the athletic dept is our biggest problem. We need to buy a defense in both staff and personnel. Also could use a running back and qb.

I have zero confidence in the AD to give DeBoer the resources.

How much confidence do you have in DeBoer demanding his program be provided the resources to both recruit and retain players and staff at a Top 15-ish level?

Maybe, like upper campus and the AD, he's content going to the Honesty and Integrity Bowl in mid-December for the next five years if that's the ceiling for doing things the right way.

Dude's won championships.

I don't think he's going to settle for pretty good.

DeBoner will ask, demand, and then LEAVE if he doesnt have the resources

Reluctantly, IMO, we’re stuck with her

Let's hope so, but winning at Sioux Falls and overachieving at Eastern Michigan and Indiana is a long way from helping make the sausage at Georgia.

DeBoer is either naive on what it takes to win big or he's willing to play by Cauce-Cohen's rules, collect a nice check, coach alongside his buddies and peek at 9-3.

That's the ceiling with UW's current approach to recruiting

Pray that you're correct.

Whatever it takes for upper campus and the AD to get the fuck outta the way

These are not the only options. We don't know what changes he's asking for or demanding behind the scenes. He may think he's going to outlast Cohen. He may view us as a resume builder to get somewhere he can build a champion. There are lots of possibilities. He's been here ten months. His resume says he's a winner. Winners win.

Yep this is the most likely option.

3:07am is the best time to have thoughts like this.

Not gonna happen

Best guess with DeBoer: He waits a year or two until he has a good offer to move on and leverages that to make huge changes at UW with NIL. If UW is unwilling, he bails.

The fucking narrative of, " well, winning at Souix Falls and winning at a power 5 conference" is apples to oranges, is FS. There was one coach before DeBoner and none after him that even comes close to sniffing the same type of success, same at Indiana on the offensive side of ball, Fresno is meh now. I honestly don't think He takes the job at UW without them committing to winning. It's coaching suicide to come here and be a .500 coach. Cohen obviously wants to win and will point to softball, soccer, and rowboat as examples which are misleading and where she is missing the mark is not lumping gladiator sports in with Olympic sports. We need our own version of Uncle Phil to take charge, whoever the f that is..
