The Coaching Carousel

haie · November 2021

Dig Bick hire meltdown aside, Campbell was the riskier hire and we'll see if he even wants to leave his little shitty area. Bone dawg is a smart hire even if it lacks the sizzle. Like one of hte posters said he had the best team in a year that was insanely competitive. Like 4-5 team with 2 or less conference losses, and he beat the 1 loss team. Mountain West beat down the Pac.

Passed on Sitake too which was the smart play.

Yes SC won out of everyone. Yes our AD is shit. But I think this guy is going to be really fucking good.

The Campbell obsession is some jilted lover bullshit.

Dude has as many flags as DeBoer. Took a top-10, senior laden team, and went 7-5. I appreciated Teq’s dissertation on why his 5 losses this year weren’t actually bad (reminded me of Hugh giving an “A” grade to Locker’s 3 of 22 performance against Nebraska) - but give me a break. Dude royally flamed out this year.

AND he’s clearly fine riding it out in Ames fucking Iowa. It’s not just Washington he’s turning down. More power to him, but I’d rather have a coach who wants to win national titles and is hungry to move up the ladder.

His hire would have “won the presser,” which would be nice on the heels of Lincoln. But a few weeks later… who cares?

We need a coach who can develop talent and win games. KD has as good a chance to be that as anyone. We’ll see.

But LFG. I blow for Deboner.

Great post. I too have struggled to see why so many saw Campbell as so much better than DeBoner. I had it the exact other way. 79-9 beats the shit out of Campbell. Campbell had plenty of warts.

I don't get it. If rumors are to believed, UW just offered a 7-win coach what just last year was Nick Saban money, and he said no. How's that going cheap or not putting up a fight or whatever?
Because if money wasn’t an object, it came down to Jen selling the program to Campbell, and she failed

He will get the same money somewhere else. He might not want to live in shitty Seattle. Can't blame him.

Hopefully our DeBoner is wart-free.
