I don't blame DeBoer for jumping for another jerb. I might do the same thing. 95% of this bored would jump for more money. I do think it's silly to quibble over set for life money though. My heart bleeds for people who can't afford the sixth house, or had to cut short the holiday in the Fr. Riviera down two days because they are making 9 million instead of 11 million, not to mention all the camp money, shoe money, advertising money, public speech money etc. Get bent.

There's plenty of blame him for stringing UW along. I'm sure his agent was in his ear. His honest Midwestern farmer routine is ridiculous. I'm not going to let it consume me though. I hold enough grudges in real life. But SEC types don't play around. Go 8-4, and you'll be toast. Have fun with that, jerk.

    Dannen said today on 710 that he had a feeling around Thanksgiving that DeBoer was gone after refusing to sign contract extensions

    Clearly he had a contingency plan in place and executed it. Good on him.
    Strong agree.

    I don’t blame him for leaving, and I’d feel differently if he won the natty, but laying an egg in the natty because you’ve got one foot out the door is unforgivable. Fuck that guy forever.

    I'm over the whole DeBoer exit. Did it piss me off that he was looking at the Bama job while coaching for the NCG? Absolutely. Oh well, it's in the rear view mirror. There's nothing UW could've done to stop it.

    Why worry about a coach that used the program in such a terrible way? Dannen did the right thing, made a good hire. Time to move on a get ready to play in the fall.

    And Fisch isn't getting everyone signed day 1. Let the dust settle and the players in the portal can make the call that's best for them


    I'm more confident now that UW will field a team

    This. Kids have 30 days to decide to enter the portal, so we may have to be patient. I think Fisch will bring some of his guys up here, and I think he’ll convince some of our guys to stay. Other coaches will get hired other places, and those kids will become available too. I sure there will be some surprises, and this roster come spring ball will look nothing like it does right now. It’s fucking hard to be patient when our roster is obliterated though.

    I’m hopeful Fisch pans out. Will anyone be shocked if he flames out? Probably not.

    On the face, home run hire but not a grand slam.

    I don't think he flames out, he probably has an ok year in 2024 and then a very good one in 2025. Either he either signs a new deal at $9.75 million+ with a higher buyout or leaves after two or three seasons (after his 3rd season, his buyout drops to $6 million).

    The only thing I wish Dannen could have done is have a $15 million buyout for the first two seasons, a $12 million after his 3rd, and then $10 million after his 4th but it wasn't like he was doing a coaching search in late November and had a strong hand.

    He never wanted to be at Washington long term. Fine. You are salesman and a talented one.

    You go on this epic and run then you shit the bed ten fold because you were fucking around with your agent and Bama leading up to Houston. Fuck that. 13pts? You are telling me this offense could only muster 13 pts? DJ was banged up you knew that. How does Penix go from unstoppable to pedestrian 8 days?

    The team was off the staff was off and the game plan stunk. Fans moved mountains for the sugar and the natty to be there. I don’t believe you gave it your all. You had the 91’ captians addressing the team knowing you were door ass out. What a guy! But Mario Bailey said he did what was best for his family. BS. It was a move for his career.

    SEC is going to chew your ass. Just watch.

    You’re such a doog.

    Penix looked like shit like he always does against pressure. Especially interior pressure. Buelow and Kalepo got their shit pushed in all game and Rosey struggled as well. Michigan was a better and more complete team they didn’t even need to take any risks on offense to beat uw.
    I made the comment before the game that Michigan was the best team UW has faced in a long time. Also, defense wins championships. The outcome was a tough pill to swallow but predictable.

    So basically overrated and lucky in a soft conference. Leading up to getting our? shit pushed in scoring 13 pts. Texas was soft with the two highest rated D tackles in the country and loaded on offense but somehow beat them. Lucky I guess. Penix hit guys in tight coverage all night. that Bernard pass play on the slot fade he had guys in his face. He also alluded guys many times. When he hit Rome over the middle for like 20 yards he had guys barreling down on him. Michigan clearly was a stiffer test up front but this UW team had a different vibe to them in the sugar vs. the natty.

    Maryland had three turnovers and still only lost by 7.

    Ohio state 24 pts 378 yards total offense.

    What I am hearing is that Deboer as his window was closing in and getting closer to the Bama job had no impact on the game? I simply disagree.

    Can’t put any blame on refs because I’m being told the result of the game was obvious from the get go. Though, probably 95% of the board thought they would win and we had Michigan right where we wanted them at half time.

    I do have to think about how Washington did look like they played against Michigan about half the games this season - shit. This time they were just playing a team with a really good defense. They gave up 28 and chunk passing plays to the pig fucker and Utah. They didn't score an offensive touchdown against fucking ASU in Husky Stadium. Combine those two games and last Monday is easily what you get. My biggest gripe might be more of the holding not holding exchange in the fourth when they were only down 7 and Michigan's offense had been basically Utah's for two plus quarters. The long pass to Rome before we saw the flag was basically the script for how Washington won almost every game the past two years.

    I have the ability to rip DeBoer's ass and hope for his failure while also getting ready to play in fall with the Fish. The "move on" stuff I see in a lot of places makes me snort. As fans we can do both, especially in January. It's not hard.

    I'm still very in the camp there's no way the DeBoer situation didn't play heavily into the game and I am suspicious it didn't have something to do with how they played like shit between the two Oregon games. Plenty of people who weren't invested in who won that game called out the awful break of that holding exchange on back-to-back plays. I think wefs deserve blame. I also think the game plan and possibly Penix fucked up by not taking shots downfield and see if they could draw some flags, especially on third and long situations.

    I think I also forgot Harbaugh is good at hitting those blown gap runs. It was something that seemed to disappear at Stanford after he left under Shaw and instead went to actual tuff guy ugly run football that isn't as scary.

    The pressure fake pressure shit from Michigan seemed to affect Penix but it's weird against Texas guys would break through the line and he woudl just make them pay. I don't know. Fuck all this.
