Why leave now? I gave up on the NBA when the sonics bailed, the M’s since 2004, I have a mild interest in the Seahawks. The last 7 or 8 years of Husky football has been better than the previous 10. We are going into a conference that cares, we’ve knocked on Nattys door a couple tims. The last 8 months have sucked, but cmon

It’s mostly college football in general

it isn't only the salary that a good coach wants. these guys want to win. the UW needs to commit to building out the AD. the infrastructure is woefully inadequate to match what is needed to win consistently. other football programs have guarantees about the size of staff. it part of the salary package. the staff size at alabama is unreal. more analysts, more coaches on the field, etc.
it is similar to usc. the entire school (including main campus) needs to be pulling the same direction. it doesn't appear that is happening. all of the best schools are doing it.
the UW needs to accept that they can be an academically prowess school, while also being a sports school. but they aren't serious. do potential donors think the UW is serious?

He hired Nick Saban's agent because he was going to the SEC. He could have kept his previous agent to get more money from UW.
In your estimation, how much would UW have had to increase their $9 million offer to DeBoer and spurn Alabama's $10 million and loaded roster?

Ditto. I can't even sit down and watch a UW game, let alone someone else.
I didn't plan it. I didn't expect it. It just happened. I have no fucks to give. I tried to find some.
I was a fan for 33 years. That's a pretty good chunk I guess. It was a good run.

If the Huskies were 6-2 instead of 4-4 would it make a difference?
-
I think they do but DeBoer leaving after only two years was a blow. Tough to really build something consistent when UW has had 4 head coaches in the past 5 years.

@HFNY...I think the answer is no. In retrospect I felt it as soon as Deboer announced. It wasn't even disappointment over him, though I felt plenty of it. It's something that was building without me realizing it. Deboer was just what finally tipped the scale.
This isn't the same college football I used to love. I don't blame anyone for sticking with it or even liking the new version better. It just doesn't appeal to me the same way.
It is what it is. Maybe it will turn around but it won't be this season and probably not next.
-
That's fair. I'm hoping the NIL changes next year will help and ideally the players agree not to jump around every year. That should be part of the negotiation.

I'm not going to act like I wouldn't be somewhat more enthused if UW was 8-0 or at least 6-2. Still wouldn't be the same. Last year really felt like it was going to be the final year for much of what still felt like what I loved about college football and even a team like Michigan feels like we'll never see them again.
One of the only things I had thought might be cool about the portal and NIL was seeing more instate guys transfer back but that's not even happening.
