But there's no strong evidence yet to suggest JEDD IS THE FUCKING GUY and we MUST back up the Brinks truck NOW!!
At least when DeBoer went 11-2 in 2022 with wins over Oregon and Texas, you could say he probably was the guy.
I don't give a fuck about all the hypothetical roster attrition, it's too risky to bet the house on Jedd at 6-2.

So we’re going on Dannen’s word now. Cool. I’m more inclined to believe UW’s offer wasn’t anything close to $1 million less (IOW it was likely a lot gappier than that) and DeBoer just said “fuck you guys if you’re not gonna be serious.”
that’s way more believable than anything out of Dannen’s fat Midwest mouth -
Agreed. Dannen offered less than he admitted to.

I think there's more evidence than what you think but it's fair to say that he shouldn't be paid at the top top end of things.
But should he bump up from say $7M to closer to $9M towards that upper middle tier of the conference particularly in light of the market and extensions of other coaches (notably Rhule) … I think you can argue for that.
From what I've heard I think Jedd is more focused on increasing the budget for his staff and roster than his own number at this point.
So perhaps what is needed is getting more committed NIL money, raises for his staff, a couple of add-on years to the back-end of his deal with nominal raises to his existing deal, and a resetting of his buyout should another CFB school try to take him … perhaps write into the terms different numbers for him leaving for a CFB coaching job vs a NFL HC job.
The abundance of jobs in the market right now is going to drive compensation up if you want a coach with any kind of proven experience.
You may not want to acknowledge the changing market and implications to a roster but it is a real one and worth paying attention to. That turmoil does not seem to me to be a valid risk to undertake over what in the big picture are nominal dollars.

The game theory math has shifted with the portal. You are far better off firing your coach than getting him poached.
