    DeBoer should have been Bama's No. 1 guy from the get-go.

    Our only hope at this point may be that he's continuing to leverage other job openings to help he and his $taff and (most importantly) force UW's administration to go all-in on football, e.g. quit forcing the Athletic Department/Boosters to pay for the stadium renovation.

    Can't see KDB sticking around (nor should he) if UW's commitment to winning is closer to UCLA than those at Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, Oregon and any other school with aspirations of competing in the top tier of the B1G

    If DeBoer leaves and UW's administration still provides the same financial pledge to the program's infrastructure, that would the best consolation prize we could hope for

    We just played in the championship game. If that doesn't have the UW Admin doing everything they can to keep the program moving forward (whether it's guided by DeBoer or another coach), nothing will.

    To make matters worse I feel like there's a decent chance this leaked out after Saban got knocked out and may have got to the team and coaches. Something seemed off about the team Monday and the game plan seemed supremely half assed.

    If you really want too doom... Team plays weird, not one borderline NFL guy convinced to stay, guys leaving eligibility on the table, not a single new transfer signing despite massive roster holes, no imminent extension announcement announcement, Sark and Lanning are already tied down, Radio silence from everyone at UW.

    I don’t even want to consider this. That would mean I just paid $2500 to go watch a team who already quit

    I know almost all of the key players are guys who were leaving anyways but the team sure as hell played like a team that hadn't been coached all week and the game plan was atrocious. Would assume there were possibly already conversations about which assistants are going and not and if I'm Bama I certainly tell Deboer to hire a real DC or fuck off and not one defensive coach was remotely considered.

    Agree 100%.

    Again, that's why I'm hoping DeBoer and some key boosters/stakeholders are forcing the administration's hand to win every last concession

    Gotta hope Cauce and her leadership team is aware the cost of not going all-in on football will ultimately be the far more expensive option.

    Never been more a more important time in the football program's history to push all your chips to the middle of the table
