DeBoer had the best first season of Husky head coach in the modern era and it's not even fucking close.

Question, yellar. Do you recognize the Berlin gold winning UW crew as the best of all tim? Is that the reason you throw in the word "modern"?
Of course, I agree with defining modern era as not including Race's birth but including mine. Also, I agree with your poast.
But there not much point in comparing them the modern era crews - especially of the past 20 years. They are so much bigger and skronger.
For UW football, I just don't care that much about analyzing what happened before the sport was on TV. No offense to Gil.
We've had 8 coaches in the 29 years since 1993.
I learned at the feet of the master
The biggest failure is Lambo by far. Gibly and the 12-0 squad second
Rick didn't lose 5 games he just ran out of time
Can't blame Sark - you have no idea of the damage that Ty did
Actually can't blame Ty taking over a 1-11 team
Petersen underachieved his first two years quite honestly
I'm still processing DeBoer's greatness and I don't know what to do with it.
The beginning of this season was my nadir as a college football fan, and I still hate all of the fucking "improvements" that have been made to the game. But perhaps in the chaos of NIL and unrestricted free agency, there is opportunity for those who know how to capitalize. And I'm fully back into the cult of the Messiah QB.
And being in the Big W Club means I can fucking jump on or off the band wagon at my pleasure.
Why the fuck do you run out the text like it is some "Gotcha" moment on every post?
Peterman on the other hand knew better. He had Oregon and SC on the ropes and let them off the book. Instead of National Gator QBs, Comedians and midgets were the spoils of a team on the cusp of regular playoff apperances (so I heard from many a Doog) No linebackers for us.
Lambo didn't get us? to a Rosebowl but I'll go to my grave believing he wouldn't have quit if he got there because it wasn't fun.
So for that, I say Fuck Off Peterman.
You would have liked Dad (#1) Race. He was anti James for the archaic offense. "Run 3 plays into the line and punt" Dad used to mutter about the James offense in the early/mid 80s"
Had a feeling about Fats and I think he elevates the program over James. Maybe not a Natty but he sleeps in the office and grinds away. It won't take an 86 Sun Bowl beat down for him to adjust either
And I also hope for DeBoer to exceed what James did. Why not dream big
Pete didn’t have the gut to take us to the top but at least there are a couple of conference trophies. Lambo gave us classic meltdowns to Oregon, notre dame, and usc and lost generations of fans to a rival school down south. FTG
