    8.5 didn't get it done. That's the institutional side. Low ball

    It was obvious it would take 10 to 12. You don't get credit for making a shitty offer that wasn't accepted. 2nd place doesn't pay in this racket

    The idea that this mythical 9 million is now in play for some fuckhead is something I need to see to believe

    12 million to Lane and I'm back in again

    Otherwise enjoy losing to Purdue

    You haven’t seen 8.5 either. We have fuckheads saying 9.5 and fuckheads saying 8.5. All fuckheads.

    It would be nice to have a person to blame but the reason he left is because he wants an easier road to the NC. Doesn’t want to build a program. He wasn’t who we thought he was.
    This ... SO MUCH THIS!

    The state of college football ... with NIL and transfers ... has made DeBoer's plan workable. In the "old days", you'd say that sooner or later this dipshit would run out of luck because he can't recruit and the well will run dry.

    Now? He doesn't have to recruit. Open up the 'Bama bag and buy the best portal guys each year and profit. I'm less pissed at DeBoer and more pissed that the state of college football has made his plan for success workable and realistic. He knew he didn't like the recruiting aspect, so he went to one of the few programs, under the new framework of college football, that won't require traditional recruiting. All he has to do is get the right NIL in place (which I'm sure was a stumbling block at UW) and reel in the best free agents every season.

    I hate that bastard, but I hate him more because he's gonna exploit this system and we'll never get to laugh at him ... like we did with Sark.

    If DeBoer thinks it will be easier at Bama then he's stupid

    And he's not

    It's always about the money.

    Will probably make a decent enough hire to get back to Alamo bowl eventually. NIL and portal should be enough that this program can maintain Wisconsin levels long term. Next year is almost certainly a disaster though, could honestly be 2-10 unless they manage to hire a coach that brings an entire roster with him.
    It’s gonna be fun for like 2 weeks when shit ass programs “stun the world” by beating a team that just went 14-1.

    Damn - maybe we? be TCU north

    In this case its about resources. Maybe that's what you meant

    I don't think he went to Bama simply because they pay a higher salary.

    I’m certain Dannen is more concerned with DEI than hiring a coach.


    If DeBoer was inevitable, Dannen should have announced the new coach 1hr later, that would be a salvage move.

    Instead he spent the week writing PR about how hard he tried and is now starting the search. Meanwhile the roster is getting gutted.

    These aren’t serious people, they are destroying the asset, same as they always have.

    Hire the 50 year old white guy to make the DEI hire. Genius!
