Mixed feelings for me. I wanted to see 15 games play out. He inherited most of this 9-10 win team and I'm not sure he can keep up going forward. I think he's good and will stay good but I'm not sure enough yet.
Not my money though. Hopefully it means substantial assistant coach salary increases. I'm hearing Tosh Lupoi could become available.
I’m hearing we can’t expect year 2 to be equal to or better than year 1.
Also, I misspoke the other day…it’s 18 games. It’s always been 18 games.
I’m glad he’s getting paid, hopefully he leveraged it into a bigger assistant coach pool and better NIL support. Feels a bit like extending Hop so early though. Which is fine if you’re willing to buy them out if the extension proves foolish.
Hop was a career assistant. Deboer appears to be doing what he’s always done as an actual, fat, HC.
That and Hop built his success on players he inherited (Thybulle primarily) whereas KDB went out and got by far the most important player to his early success.

KDB's definitely a better bet.
DeBoer has an offensive scheme and program blueprint that allowed him to be the best in his level for 5 years in a row, then make the move to big boy football and completely transforms Indiana, Fresno, and UW
Hop sat on the bench at Syracuse. There is no comparison
