On or off. Are you on the Deboer train or off it?

I think he’ll be ok. 8-10 wins preseason but I’m not expecting him to be a yearly threat win the conference.

We aspire to be the next Utah.

Define success. My definition of it is likely a much higher standard than the athletic department’s.

The odds are very, very low that he is successful enough to win a playoff game or Rose Bowl.

We aspire to be the next Utah.

That’s probably about right.

I still believe it was a discount hire but I'm gonna LIPO. I'll jump on the train if DeBoner can at least bring home the Braxton Clemen Memorial Trophy next year

LIPO

He sucks until he doesn't. I haven't moved!

My inner Doog says he will be good. Inner Doog and reality are two separate things....lipo

I would’ve felt better with Haener. Hate to say it.

FireCohen

I had a different train in mind

PurpleThrobber

Better than Jimmy, worse than Peterman.

Sark without the drinking problem. So far.

If a single QB, especially of Haener’s caliber, is the deciding factor in a program’s success, that program is doomed to mediocrity or worse. See 2021 LSU & Clemson.

I was the lead promoter (pumper?) of DeBoer and I mostly like his hires. Courtney Morgan was a great get. Beckterfield too. I trust his judgement on Huff and Adams, especially because Adams kept JB and Boston in the fold and Huff / Morgan should keep Big Josh home.

Would love to see Juice Brown get a good corner and safety for this class. Beckterfield / Morgan need to nab that DL from CA who is currently committed to Michigan.

I see a Pac-12 North title in year 2 or 3.

@Mad_Son told me to never get on a train.

@Mad_Son told me to never get on a train operated by Half Brains.

I want him to succeed but I fear we've gotten ourselves into a Mike Bellotti situation.

Alright doogs, all aboard. This train leaves for Auschwitz Husky Stadium in 5 minutes.

I'm on the train. That said, I've worked at a grocery store for 18 years and my wife is twice the woman I married. I might not be the best person to ask.

Off. He might be somewhat successful, but do I think he will win a Rose Bowl with us?

No

No

So, like, Petersen?

Neither have I.

I suspect DeBoer will find a a way to over perform with what he has. But if he can't land transformational recruits, over-perform turns us into the next Utah which has been drilled to death here - but yeah, without a recruiting turn around 8-10 wins a year, the occasional conf championship game and a bowl game in Vegas or New Mexico.

Actually, yeah, a lot like Petersen. At least Petersen was bolstered by some of Sark's recruits at first

On the train, seated by an emergency exit. because trusting UW or Amtrak is a terrible idea

Think about it. Who expected any of these coaches to be highly successful?

Lambo
Neuheisel
Gilby
Tyrone
Sark
CP
Lake

Ironically, I probably thougth Gilby (12-0) and Lake would do the best out of all these guys, at least in their first year, when they were hired.

It's a crapshoot, keep emotions out of it.

If they don’t pop by year 3 they most likely suck. Kept lambo, Gilby, Tyrone, and sark too long.

Motown

Just no..
I expect deboer to be just good enough to never get fired but never really getting to the top of the mountain. So I expect this question to be asked every year.
