Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Big dick hires since 2000
Here are some Big dick teams from around the country and their coach hirings since 2000ish. I put "limp dick hirings", those that were coordinators, internal hirings, NFL assistants, hiring of a fired coach or coaches from group of five or 1AA in bold type. I put a star next to the Limp dick hires that paid off. (I counted Coker and Orgeron as successes. Win a natty and pop off. Rick and Helfrich are fails as they both eroded the programs without national titles even though both won a Rose Bowl) Meyer (2005) and Franchione (2001) are counted as a limp dick because Utah was MW at the time and TCU was Conference USA.

14/37 limp dick hires worked out.
6/15 Big dick Power 5 to Power 5 moves worked out.
As you can see a lot of small dick hires end up looking pretty good and and a lot of BIG DICK moves sometimes shrivel. You can argue about a couple coaches on this list and whether they should be considered a success or not. UW is historically bad at this the last 20 years and USC is pretty bad at stealing other Power 5 head coaches. No wonder the Pac 12 has died. LIPO on the new UW coach. This is about as inexact a science as you can get. I'm excited by DeBoer. He's a winner and there haven't been that many of those to go around the last 20 years.

If the Dawgs were getting this years version of Urban (Napier) I for one would be pumped up.
I sense a new slogan
In 2016 Paul Rhoads went 3-9 at Iowa State. In 2017 Matt Campbell went 3-9 at Iowa State.
In 2019 Fresno St went 4-8 under Tedford. In 2020 Fresno St went 3-3 under Deboner.
Again, someone has to explain to me how Campbell is that much better.
We (?) offered him what, almost 40 mil and he didn't want it. Not sure what the teeth gnashing and hand wringing is about. You don't win 3 out of 4 championships at any level without actually knowing how to coach the game. We haven't had an actual in game coach that had any idea how to run clock or adjust on the fly for 20 years.
I'm definitely in the LIPO camp. And unlike most of the Deboner haters, I actually pay money to the fucking program each year. (stupidly, because I hate money)
Just food for thot
