For DeBoer, Grubb and Washington defensive coordinator Chuck Morrell, what worked building NAIA playoff teams at Sioux Falls translates to building an NCAA Division I playoff team at Washington.
“We’re mentors and teachers first,” Grubb said. “And I think that the better you can be at filling in gaps and doing the best with the resources that you have, regardless of where you’re at … if you’re at the New York Jets or Washington or University of Sioux Falls, it doesn’t matter.
“I think you always want to make the most of what you have … and make everything about the players and the people. And I think that that translates, no matter where you’re at.”
What has translated at every stop for DeBoer is outrageous winning.
He was 6–3(typo) as the head coach at Sioux Falls, winning three NAIA national championships in five seasons. That’s incredible, but consider this: DeBoer won 56 of his final 57 at the school, with the only loss coming in a title game against Carroll College that was played in a downpour that produced nine combined fumbles. He was offensive coordinator for Indiana’s only eight-win season in the last 30 years, in 2019. He was 9–3 in his only full season as head coach at Fresno State.
And now the 49-year-old DeBoer is on a 20-game winning streak as coach at Washington. He’s won 24 out of 26 with the Huskies, which could be the best two-year run in school history, depending how this season ends.

Penix, if he’s available, will be their first pick in the draft.
Unknown at this point if Grubb goes or stays as possible UW HC.
FWIW, I did listen to a national radio show (can't remember which one) which tossed his name out while speculating about a couple of the open NFL jobs.
It is still probably a pay cut until he wins a super bowl.
