Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
How long can we keep DeBoer?
Serious question. Gotta think his name would be on pretty much any team’s list for their coaching vacancy. How much are we paying him again? Whatever it is it’s not enough.
Is it all about the money with him or is he the kind of guy who would take less money to stay in a good situation? I have no idea. I pray to
@SpiritHorse that we can hang onto him for at least 2-3 more years.

Edited to say I missed the next 2-3 years part. If DeBoer takes Huskies to an NY6 appearance/playoff next year, he can write his own check.
The new AD was able to keep Tulane’s coach after suitors came calling last season, so he’s shown some aptitude in similar situations.
Michigan, on the other hand, I would worry about (if Harbaugh goes nfl)
A&M will probably open up, I don't see DeBoer as a fit there but would Lanning be interested? I still think he is a good coach, a great recruiter. He is from the South and seems to me more like an SEC guy. Gus Malzahn could get a look too.
I’m not sure I’d call Kansas City the south. Aggie will go hard after elko if they’re smart. So they won’t

Deboer needs to get at least 7.5 next year up to 9 or so and a top 20 NIL income for players. Dannan better have Folgers at the office
