Large universities have been playing with monopoly money for decades.
value bets are meaningless when you are betting pocket change, you just want to pick the winner, if it costs a few extra dollars who gives a fuck.
You pay what it takes to get YOUR GUY, hedging into the 3rd or 4th choice to save a few pennies in 2-4 years is fucking dumb.
I see you didn't read my guysm stuff. I think the monopoly money metaphor isn't a metaphor. It's a bubble that's going to pop. You can only keep kicking the can down the road for so long. How many multi-million dollar coaching contracts can be on your books at same time? Two? Three? There are two components to the hire, and one is being able to fire the fucker if he ends up sucking. These insane contracts are going to bite schools in the ass when this all comes crashing down and they can't afford to fire their loser coach because they're not bringing in enough gate and the TV money shrank instead of continuing to balloon.
Furthermore, your logic only makes sense when there's some amount of certainty that "picking the winner" is possible. In a system as chaotic and random as picking a winning coach, in which the difference between your first and second choice is $30 million but the difference between either guy's odds of winning are so nebulous that even a group of message board retards can't come to a consensus, value bets are plenty meaningful.
When playing my odds for program success, I'm going to take three whacks at DeBoner over one whack at Lincoln Riley, and that's about how the math works out.
Small time pussy hedge type thinking.
"Three whacks at DeBoner" over the next decade is much more expensive to the program over "one whack at Lincoln Riley" for 2-3 years.
If you can't find someone you think is the best for the job and are instead trying to "value" hire just put Sven in charge for 10K and call it a day.
Its all random anyways, might as well hire NAIA coaches for the next hundred years for cheap because it will save money!
Sure, and if that was the predetermined outcome we wouldn't be having this conversation. If you disagree with the probabilities that @1to392831weretaken is throwing out there, then fucking say so and engage with that. But at this point you're just a @backthepack minion regurgitating the same "big dick" nonsense.
And tough fucking shit, because it's all moot. We don't have a fully guaranteed $100m to throw at a coach. We do in fact have much smaller dicks than USC and LSU, and if that's a surprise to you then you're a fucking idiot. The amount of dipshits here who appear to be shocked at the revelation that we stopped caring about football in the 90s is astounding. This isn't news. Look around. This is what we have and it's only going to get worse as the CFB parity gulf continues to widen. So either start a multi-billion dollar empire and give UW a slush fund to stay ahead in this sport, or just shut the fuck up already.
I like Deboner now. I just like overreacting and melting down more.

I see you're still grappling with the bargaining phase. Tough place to be.
I'd say both Deboner and Campbell are not first page but they were for Jen
It will play out regardless of whether I let it or not
Jen is a symptom. Its pretty clear that the USC boosters pulled a coup and told President Folt either her signature or her brains would be on the contract
UW doesn't get it and never will
Still pumping the we do it the right way bullshit that had the Pac 9 all to happy to drop the hammer
We'll see if the new guy fucks up the staff and enjoy more excuses why we can't
Not sure I agree with the Folt part. She’s always been very athletics-friendly and when USC hired her away from UNC, I knew it meant the AD would get cleaned up and they’d recommit to having a tier 1 football program.
She is the one who told the NCAA to go fuck themselves during the whole academic fraud investigation. USC is run by the boosters, but Folt isn’t going to be someone who stands in their way of hiring who they want, unless it’s something absurd.
New Hampshire, USD, failed retread NFL coach. 3 best hires Pac 12 programs have made in the last two decades. All three we would be pissed at if those where our new coach was coming from right now.

THIS.
Pete Carroll, one of the top 2 hires in the Pac-12 in the past 50 YEARS (along with Don James), wasn't even supposed to interview at USC. His daughter was going there for school and when visiting campus, he called upon the AD to chat.
Harbaugh came from a lower-tier school than Fresno State and Chip Kelly was plucked out of NH (a school lower than Fresno State as well) to be Bellotti's OC before taking over.

Watch out, we've got an internet tough guy here!
The reason UW is in a position right now to fix the shit show that was Jimmy Lake is that they didn't agree to pay him a third of what they paid for the stadium.
Look, it's simple math: I haven't seen any reporting (still working my way up this forum) of DeBoner's deal. I'm assuming it's in the realm of $5 million per year for five years. Let's just call it a $26 million contract after paying his $1.5 million buyout to FSU. Three years from now, you find his ceiling is 8 wins, he's not getting it done, interest is waning, so you go get another coach like him. Let's say three years from now, such a guy costs you $35 million. Now let's say that goes three years without panning out. You'd still have over $50 million to spend to take a third crack at finding a coach that works.
Or you spend $126 million on a Lincoln Riley for the sizzle and headlines dick compensation, and after six years, he still hasn't put a defense on the field, still hasn't won a playoff game, is basically Petersen 2.0. Shit. You still owe him $45 million or some ridiculous shit, and now you need another coach.
You guys want to take the deed to the house and bet it on red. That's not "big dick," it's just being really bad at math.

Typical UW false choice bullshit coaching search. Hell Wilcox was to scare everyone into a Mountain West hire and like it
Notre Dame may hire Campbell or they may come calling for DeBoer

Harbaugh was a hot candidate
USC got lucky with Pete
When's the last time we got lucky?
Pea patch then. Why even bother hiring a coach?
