    As much as I want to blame the school, they’ve been poached by Alabama and USC 3 times in 11 years. Everyone else he mentioned was just shitty at their job or burnt out like pretty much everyone in every job.

    Sark/deboer

    Who's the 3rd?

    Texas poached Pete K also. Bit of a different situation, but still.

    Right, I was thinking HC

    Still speaks to what Stanback was saying though, if we were serious about football this wouldn't keep happening

    He also had a point about petersen who I agree would have been exponentially more likely to stay with more support from upper campus

    It's a systemic problem, not just meanies at usc/Alabama

    Oregon squashed the Lanning shit instantly, we didn't

    Doing a good deep dive on what you’re doing is prudent from time to time

    There’s truth in what he’s saying to some level

    Some is also just plain bad decisions and bad luck

    I vote for Stanback to be the next HC. Go in, clean house, and stay for a long time.

    Losing Willingham, Sark, and Gilbertson were fucking blessings. losing Petersen was a retirement decision. Losing DeBoer was the only relative surprise. Fuck Cohen and who cares. Otherwise his video is spot on. I guess.

    In his rambling (NTTAWWT, I sometimes do the same meandering, stream of consciousness, thinking aloud too) if you're able to pan for the nuggets of truth, I think his real issue is our hiring process is broken.

    I'm getting frustrated with the revolving door around here too, but to dovetail with everything we've been saying about our school being Stepping Stone U, maybe it's time to embrace it. Moneyball this shit. We're the Oakland As now.

    I have no idea what that looks like, but you have to get these diamonds in the rough that are hungry for their first head coaching on the cheap and say, "you'll get yours if you stay, but understand you'll pay for it dearly in buyouts if you LEAVE!"
