Rumor out there that Steinauer turned us down. If true, glad we waited on him so long
Is that from the Discord?
Someone on the discord said last night that they were at dinner with someone from the UW Athletic department who said the coach from Canada isn’t coming. Only coaching insight the person offered apparently.
Fatters just said the same on Dawgman. Really disappointing if true. We really are going to have the entire Fresno staff + Junior aren't we?
TE coach from Indiana*, and then OL coach from Virginia so no. And there are other options at DC that aren’t Fresno guys.
Then we went after the Boise dline coach and the Nebraska dline coach. Boise guy turned us down, not sure what the current status of the Nebraska guy is… I’m sure DeBoer would look elsewhere before going back for the Fresno dline coach.

If this is how it turns out that is a terrible start. Not JonDon bad, but not good.
Even if he just brought the Fresno staff with him that is a major upgrade in my opinion. Not ideal but lipo. Not being able to land top choices for DC with the alleged budget he has is concerning for sure.
We saved all this money on the head coach to get great assistants!!!!!!!!
Well if we can't afford great assistants this year its ok because next year is a bumper crop of great assistants!!!!
OK we got a steaming pile of shit again and Huff is back.
We're broke. Hired boner on the cheap and filled out his staff on the cheap
Fooled again
Huff isn’t back
Well Connerly is quoted as saying he thinks he'll be back, so it's certainly in dispute right now.
Either way, if we don't shell out for some of these assistants, especially the DC, then that'll be a pretty fucking ominous sign. Deboner is coming in at a salary way below what we expected, while other schools are breaking the market with some of their contracts.
So if we don't land any sought-after guys, it means a) nobody wants to come coach under Deboner, or b) we don't have the money to compete for high-caliber assistants. I'm not quite sure which option would be worse.

I think we’re cheap fucks and our fat leopard print AD is never going to be fired, so that’s worse than if no one wanted to coach with DeBoer.
DeBoer hasn’t hired anyone I hate yet. Julius Brown was a former top mountain west recruiter and a former db at Boise so he seems plenty qualified to be a DB coach. Grubb may not be a fireworks hire but he knows DeBoer’s system and the fact that he wanted to follow DeBoer north is probably a good sign. Same to the rumored tight ends coach hire. If the Virginia oline coach wants to come across the country to coach with DeBoer without a job description upgrade that’s also a good sign.
If Orlondo stays in Canada, likely means he just really didn’t want to go back to CFB, but DeBoer misread his interest.
If he goes to another CFB program, it means we are cheap fucks and We aren’t going anywhere until Jen Cohen is gone.
In isolation sure, no big deal. Orlondo was quoted recently as prizing "work-life balance", so if he stays in the CFL it's likely that that's just due to him being one of the rare breed of coaches who actually cares about his individual and family well-being.
But contextually that'd be a big fucking failure by Deboner. All signs seem to indicate that we were waiting on Orlondo to decide, and if Deboner wasn't able to get a read or answer from him in that period then he miscalculated terribly and wasted two weeks of other potential assistants going elsewhere, and recruiting defensive prospects.

Unless you’re an avid cfl fan or BTP, no one here knew whether Steinauer would be good or not.
