Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Reading the tbs people and many other comments on this site they should have (and easily could have) hired the BC coach. Because he out recruited that school's average by a mile. Young Dan Lanning type that will supply the official recruiting visits with all the hookers and blow needed.
I think he was barely even .500 in the ACC that sucks far worse than the PAC PAC PAC, though

UW Recruiting
So the boosters approved a developer with a great system and trying to out-scout people. It makes a lot of sense even though yeah, I agree with the HHP guys that the 5 million difference should be spent somewhere useful toward the getting talent.
DeBoer has as many red flags as he has positives
UW should be able to hire a big time coach from the same lists thst the blue blood programs hire from. I get the disgust. It's all image bullshit though. If Deboer is good, and there are zero signs that he's not, the name recognition nonsense will stop being a factor within a season or two.
Only USC made an elite hire, and the guy brought his shit DC with him.
And yeah, there are still head scratches like Texas hiring Sark. Jesus. How is a proven, mediocre retread like that even in the conversation?
I think the only really good argument would be that they could have backed up the truck for J Freshwater and told him he can get revenge on the conference that tarmac'd him while boating to work and drinking fancy coffee.
So, yea. Cohen was looking for a bargain & a coach who wouldn’t rock the boat/scandal free. DeBoer fits that mold. And we did not have to lure him away from other suitors. We offered, he accepted.
We’ll see if he can get it done at the highest level. Track record seems promising, but he has not been coaching in the big leagues for that long.
Why wouldn't he be really into the UW job? Amazing university, tons of money, talent on the roster that just wasn't utilized, state has plenty of talent. Can sell assistants on living in a great location.
Easy as fuck conference, rival just hired some fucktard named Dillingham, other "rival" hired a coach because he won one game against a shit staff.
Even if he flirted with UW and declined (there's nothing tangible out there that that happened btw), who gives a shit. "You guys suck and your stadium will be a peapatch in 5 years, I'm going to stay at Iowa fucking state instead. Enjoy boating to work in a world class city I'm too busy going .500 or worse in some fucking corn fields."
He is a symbol of the Doog because he beat down an Oregon team that didn't even win their own division.
