    it’s going to be norvell.

    This could assist his decision.

    thats a big part of it, i also thing the fuckshow the ACC is/will become plays a part, you went undefeated, left out of the playoff*, you'll probably repeat, and get throttled in the expanded playoff because you're playing inferior competition all year.

    i dont think cfb people in the south like 'us northerners,' and i think that plays a part of deboer staying. i also think jimmy sexton is floating a lot of this to get UW to up their offer, he shares an agent with saban, more power to him on that.

    if deboer wants to chase the bag, go do it, but his ass will be on the hot seat if he goes to bama and puts up a performance like he did monday night. his ass is getting a pay raise at UW for losing by 21 in the natty. at bama, if he pulls that back to back years, he gets fired. again, if you want to get paid for four years, go do that, probably would rather be the guy following after the guy after saban though.

    lastly, and i know this came before the saban retirement (sexton had to have known about this), but he made the comment 'a lot of the coaches got offers, but everyone is sticking around.' again, before the saban thing, but would be surprising.

    also on the staff, no way deboer takes all of the UW staff, bama wont let him, theyll make him keep some of saban's staff for recruiting/continuity. again, if you want to get the bag, and get told what to do, go do it.

    why hasnt sark's name come up in all of this? him and manning as a package? feel like we could get some good memes out of that.










    *got fuckin throttled in your bowl game by backups but still

    Sark said no, reportedly, whatever THAT means.

    One of my favorite thoughts is, how many championships do you need to get a statue at Bama? 7? How many at UW?

    The more I think about it, it's completely out of character for KD to go to Bama, if his whole persona that he's curated over decades is to be believed. Gets more illogical the more I think about it. There's zero part of me that thinks he will go there because of Alabama "prestige" and to try to be the next Saban. Nah, this guy hits different and has a conscience. He's a culture builder and that's really not the same at Bama. That's a machine and he would be a cog. He's already seen what culture building at UW is like, and it's working. He wouldn't do us like that because it would eat at him forever. I truly believe he knows that deep down somewhere. That's just one reason he ain't goin, my trust in his brain, but there are more. It's a horrific fit for the KD I think I know and if I'm wrong, well, every foundation of trust around me will crumble to dust and my hermit/nomadic wanderer life will begin. I don't want that. Not yet.

    This sounds like boovs talking about Babushka...

    The reality is that Alabama is the top prestige job in the country right now, and probably all time. Deboer has a shot at it right now, odds are he never will again.

    UW is going to the B1G instead of the WAC

    Babushka remains if Beav was going with us

    Prestige is the SEC Kool-Aid that the peasants drink up and think stands above all else. It's quite meaningless, especially for a person who hasn't drank the Kool-Aid their whole life, and there's a thousand other factors that would influence KDs decision. So what if Bama won championships and has a winning history? Big fucking deal, that's the past. KD would be 0-0 at Bama. Literally the only benefit would be to have a theoretically better high school talent pool available based on 247 rankings skewed towards southern players. This is the portal era and we just went to the Natty with scrubs. Fuck all that. KD is different and it's the same reason Petersen didn't go to USC or elsewhere from Boise. Not all coaches are egomaniac monsters thinking they're the man for Bama, especially a guy like KD, I truly believe it. I think Bama bout to be getting their 4th or 5th option just like USC and Carroll. It happens. There's a reason no coach besides Sark has left UW since we rubbed sticks together to make fire. This is not a stepping stone.

    I hate this ride and I want off. Too scary.

    Also the Babushka comparison is bad, arguably terrible.

    Why would Sark leave Texass for Bama? There's no clear advantage to doing that. Bama is Bama right now because of Saban

    If I didn't know any better, I'd say Alabama is Auburn without Saban or Bear Bryant. They ain't all that. It's coattail nonsense and it will continue to be in this new Saban coattail era.

    You do what you will, but the past is not prologue, and, if it was, I know which program was in the natty this year and which program wasn't.

    Will KD leave his TCU-level Washington program who will be terrible for years because of a 40th ranked high school recruiting class to get #1 recruiting classes every year at Alabama as Saban's successor? The answer may surprise you.

    Delete me if I'm wrong. It'll be good for me anyway.

    first game deboer loses the calls for “saban to come back” will be special, having saban “mentor” you will be special for deboer.

    this really seems like it’ll be right up deboers alley.

    Rumor: He’s staying.

    Thought: He gone.

    If he’s staying his agent probably wouldn’t cancel the spot without rescheduling for the same day.
