    Let’s hope.

    Dannen is a lot of things, but he isn't an idiot.

    So far… the weasel thing was pretty stupid though that was only under his watch and not his doing but just like in my real life, one of my subordinates fucks up, I fucked up.

    How does the athletic department not keep like 1 person around who knows the fan base that can remind them not to do shit like this? Is Greg Lewis around still? I know that’s not his gig, but someone like that would certainly know little cultural stuff like that.

    He should've figured it out in August when DeBoer switched to Jimmy Sexton

    And yes, I know he was at Tulane acting as their AD then, but he should've known it then

    Was the weasel in New Orleans on some kind of parade float and if so, did UW know about it? If it’s something Dannen or his staff knew about and didn’t notice or worse, blessed off on, then they need to get their shit together.

    I suspect the Sugar Bowl committee/staff/Madri Gras people did a Google search for UW, found it and had it printed out and stuck it on the float. If that’s the case, that shit is on Cohen for not getting an intern to figure out how to suppress/remove the image from the internet.

    As for the Huskie thing, who amongst us hasn’t had a typo before?

    This sums up my beef with DeBoer.

    There’s always going to be other great opportunities out there for great coaches.

    But you don’t have 1 foot out the door in year 2 in the middle of a Natty run.

    Fuck that guy forever.

    It really is mind numbing

    The reason you get into the sports business at a high level is to compete and win championships … if you do that the money follows

    To torpedo your chances when you get that chance (and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get that chance again) speaks volumes about your character and priorities
    It's beyond the pale of @Mad_Son settlement, even in this fucked up age of college football.

    DeBoer had ZERO connection to Bamma or the SEC.

    He was already in a Year 2 CFP/Natty run at a Top 10 to 20 type program about to triple the original salary. And that's not good enough to still around for 4 or 5 years? What the fuck.

    I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.
    I made mention of being fucked for depth a few times but backed it off because it felt petty as we made the natty run.
    Wasn’t ignored just didn’t realize what the fuck was truly transpiring right in front of us.
    Helluva salesman. Hope he gets anal chlamydia.

    The AD should have a pdf with their standard/preferred marketing collateral (images, logos, color shades, font, etc etc) that they’d send out ahead of time to the boel committee.

    Let’s just blame ramming on this one

    Who were the names in consideration? All Jimmy Sexton guys, every fucking one of them. I've dealt with enough agents to know that if Deboer would have signed that contract at Thanksgiving, he would currently be shopping for a new agent. Football coaches coach football. Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

    Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.

    IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

    You're not in Sioux Falls any more, Toto...
    I wonder if we’ll ever get to a point when universities don’t want to deal with this malarkey anymore.

    Probably not at least until the vice of stadium debt is in the rear view mirror.

    Was the stadium that much "vice" though? $250 million seems rather cheap looking at what new stadiums run these days, and I would describe it as more of a "need" than a "want".

    I never realized that Bob Woodward voiced his opinion on this. Incredible.
