    Damn, we were so close to hiring Campbell for a ton of money and sitting here right now at 5-7, with Morris as the returning starter, and trying to doog on the improvement and Campbell needing more time to get his players and system in.

    In non-negadoog fairness, I think Campbell actually would have went 6-7 and lost to Haener in the Jimmy Kimmel bowl.

    Were we really that close? I thought the consensus was he only played us for a raise and was never really chinterested?
    I don't think anyone actually knows.

    Proof in hand and all that

    I wanted DeBoer after he beat UCLA and I looked up his track record. I made a post or three about it.

    That faded a bit after a bad loss or two. I liked Aranda better because of the P5 success, but Rhule set him up decently and the jury is still out on him.

    I’m happy with DeBoer and think we got it right. He’s a very good coach.

    I do remember you being the first one to swinging around his winning percentage as a coach. Dude seems to understand how to win
    Not just how to win, but how to win consistently. Suggests his culture and system work
    as we say "winners WIN"

    I was team "anything but a nine-figure boat anchor." I just didn't want to spend that kind of money (and risk basically ending the progrum if it fails) on anybody that isn't guaranteed to succeed, and there are basically three of those guysm on planet earth. And they weren't going to make any of them say no. If every hire is a dice roll, take three cheap rolls of the dice instead of go all in on one.

    In hindsight DeBoer still feels like it was more risky then Aranda

    Aranda does have a 12-2 record to his name, but he now has a 6-7 record, too

    Anyone who picked 9 or more wins in the preseason poll was pro DeBoer. Guessing he would more than double the previous seasons win total was thinking KDB was a legit coach. The reason I picked 10 wins was because he was a proven, good ball coach. I chose Campbell over DeBoer because I wasn’t sure he could build a P5 program. Still not entirely sure but convincing a bunch of kids he didn’t recruit to re-up for another year in his program is encouraging.

    Are we at the stage of delusion where everyone pretends they wanted DeBoer?

    And a few others were first and right

    The rest of you?

    Not so much

    You also fellated Lake.
    Proof at hand?

    I dont recall ever doing that. I was in LIPO mode, but thought that the 2020 covid season was decent.

    LIPO mode ended at halftime of the Montana game for me

    He was a lifelong assistant to the longtime successful coach


    Lot of Jimmy Lake parables there


    Deboer is a lifelong winner

    Eh. 10-8 in conference. Won a game in the NIT.

    I think what DeBoer in year did is comfortably better than that.
