There may be a nice timing if grubb leaves for 2 or 3 years and coaches a Big 12 team until Deboer gets the blue blood offer.
I think the list of teams he could leave for consists of Ohio State, SC, Michigan then a steep drop off to maybe half a dozen SEC teams for recruiting reasons but that he may or may not be interested in the SEC. I almost feel like the NFL will be the bigger threat
If I’m AMC I try to sign him to an iron clad five year extension. Five years at 9 mil per and a massive, unreal buyout if he leaves before those five years. That would bring him to the end of his daughters time at UW, seven years in all and give DeBoer and the admin enough time to know if it’s all going to work. You could add in an extra year roll over clause if he hits certain incentives but I’m not sure either side would want it longer than the five years initially. If he’s regularly competing for B1G titles maybe he’s all in. If UW isn’t giving him the resources to do it he can trade up to a program with unlimited funds. It all feels right at the moment but almost all the playmakers are Pete guys. This would be a lucrative LIPO for both parties.
Sounds like everyone understands that UW is a stepping-stone job, not a destination
We're talking about Michigan, Ohio St, Bama, Texas, and Florida.
So no we're not talking about stepping stone schools. Everyone is aware that UW isn't as trublu as those schools but then again I'll take just a group of 5-6 that could poach from us over whatever the fuck Cal's place is. Wilcox may make it a hat trick there and get fired and be successful at his next stop.
If Michigan would have had to fire Harbaugh, or Ohio St/Bama opens up for some reason I'd be worried, but taking 7 mil which IIRC Petersen got to go rebuild the tire fire he just witnessed firshand just feels like wishful thinking by Sparttards.

Tennessee couldn't get Petersen.
Could 100% see MSU hiring Grubb though.
UW was a tire fire when he arrived
"Kalen knows offense, and went out and found a star. The rest of it was about doing less than Jimmy did. Lake was a first-time head coach and a micromanager. The roster was never the problem, and the kids wanted to win. This staff just had to take a step back and change the energy, and they're right back to what you'd expect from these guys."
Deboer's daughter doesn't start college for another year FWIW. Not gonna be a factor in him staying or leaving if other schools pony up $10M+ a year
I don't see why it would make a difference either way. A guy who cares whether or not his adult daughter is in the same city as him so he can go watch a fucking softball game is not the same kind of psychopathic workaholic that is needed to succeed in college football.
Deboer is going to do what's best for his career, and it's up to AMC to convince him that staying, and getting a Brinks truck full of cash in the process, is the right path forward.

You don't think her dad coaching at UW contributed to her picking UW as her school? Of course it did!

Just my opinion but I think Fats is a whynotboth.gif kind of guy, which is why Tedford and Petersen recommended him to UW.
If you watch his interviews this year his approach isn't about just paying for better talent and rolling the same way Saban was. Doesn't mean he isn't obsessed with winning.
My only real concern is Washington State's bullshit NIL "ethics" laws or whatever he brought up. I don't know what they entail but he did mention that they're "pretty tight".
So I think it's more likely that an SEC blueblood could pull him because of the convenience with recruiting, but even then I don't think he's in favor of straight up paying for high school kids that have no played a down of cfb.
He mentioned that UW has a great locker room because the guys getting paid have earned it. I don't think he wants to deviate from that system very much. UW NIL just needs to improve a bit more but Seattle amenities make it close enough imo.

I don't know enough about how the specifics of our NIL to compare it to others, but I have no problem believing that it'll be a huge factor in how Deboer maps his career. Having a stable and well-funded NIL is crucial to operating a program and sustaining success.

Watching your daughter play softball is not.
