TL;DR:
The speaker argues they’ve never said “don’t pay DeBoer” or wanted a cheaper coach and criticizes others for misrepresenting their views. They acknowledge gaps in the current roster and think making the CFP would still be valuable for identifying improvements for 2026. They emphasize realistic expectations — finishing Top 10–15 would be a success given recent challenges. They note that losing a coach like Jedd Fisch would likely set the program back due to player turnover, so stability is important. Ultimately, they reject defeatist attitudes within the fanbase.

They are ahead of UW because of poll inertia and that's about it.
UW at 9-2 hosting a 10-1 Oregon will be viewed as a play in game for the playoffs. The game will get hyped by all the talking heads.
A lot of teams are going to lose. UW can't be one of them.

Not to extend the disagreement, but someone upthread mentioned that DeB didn't like the UW fanbase or administration. I had never read or heard that. Was that a real thing? IOW, did he independently want out of here or was it Alabama and money?

It's always money

Dannen’s own words say he offered $1m less than what DB signed with Bama for.

If UCLA beats Nebraska this weekend they will lose to OSU and need wins against UW and USC to get to a bowl. Let's hope the Huskers can take the fight out of em

He also said he wanted to negotiate and DeBoer didnt
DeBoer to Bama was a done deal. It is what DeBoer wanted. Place recruits itself.

Why doesn't Washington?

The least he could have done was lie and say we offered $11m and got turned down. Dannen probably offered $8.5m and lied it up to $9.5m to appease you.
