Where did you see we low balled him? It was my understanding we offered more than Bama, or was that bullshit?
I think he’s saying we low balled early when our $8.7m offer would’ve only made him 15th highest paid.
By the end, we were offering him $9.4, which would’ve been top 8. Softy heard from @Sources that we’d have gone over $10, but maybe by then the writing was on the wall and it was never formally offered.
Depending on when the 8.7 offer was made, I think it's dumb to blame Dannen. That's a fair first offer. He strung UW along. That's messed up. Reminds me of some women I've known.
If you think CFB is a cutthroat bidness, go follow Euro futbol for a bit and get back to me. We got Saudi princes cookin the books, match fixing, players transferring to rivals, and massive bribery campaigns for almost every major tournament host.

This is accurate. When it comes to corruption, soccer has a PhD, and CFB is in preschool.
Deboer left because he's a feckless recruiter and he wasn't up for the challenge of actual program building. So he struck while the iron was hot and gladly took the upgraded roster that was waiting for him in Tuscaloosa. His next goal is to mimic what he did at Washington and bounce for the NFL Jimmy Johnson style, all before the chickens come home to roost.
He's a two bit whore who excels at utilizing what other people have left for him. The next program he actually builds will be his first.
In before @creepycoug tells you that Jimmy left a national championship team at Miami for Dennis Erickson
Have no idea about Oklahoma State because who cares
I do think you're accurate on DeBoer
From a program-first standpoint, it seems that Fisch is better than DeBoor, cuz Fisch's guysm want to stay at Arizona.

If you low balled me and a bigger company came in and offered me a better deal, I'd jump ship too.
I'm not mad that he ultimately left. I'm mad that he did such a shitty job recruiting, and that it was so obvious for the past 4-6 weeks that he was looking around, which also hurt our recruiting. Also that he supposdly did some interviewing with Bama while he was in Houston. Fuck him.
While he was a solid x's and o's coach I don't think he goes down in history as a mastermind. He had a perfect storm of luck here, inheriting some great 6th year talent and bringing in a few portal guys. He knew the program would take a few steps back when all of that 6th year talent graduated.
I fully expect him to lose 3-4 games at Bama in 2024. It will be fucking hilarious when Bama boosters call for his firing.

His overall record is something like 102-12. That doesn't happen by accident.
This ain't it. UW didn't lowball him, they offered him enough to make him the sixth highest paid coach in the country. You don't pay more than that for a guy who hasn't proven he can recruit.
It sucks ass right now and I was heartbroken he left but in the end we're probably lucky we aren't locked into that contract. If Fisch is willing to stick around he's a better fit, and if he's not he's not any worse.

And if were bashing rice, IM OUT!
UW does have a pretty extensive bio med program that some Chinese might be interested in though.
Can we, at least, try to have a c-hair of honor and class in this bullshit sport CFB has become? I don't think this is too much to ask.
