Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Interview with DeBoer upon his arrival at Fresno St.
Describe your strengths as a coach. What differentiates you from other coaches out there?
“I just keep working. I keep plugging away. I believe in my abilities, but in not being cocky with it. I feel who I should have around me, and be surrounded by great people, and let them work. Help enable them to be able to get what they need to do their jobs really well. Keep the attitude, keep the atmosphere positive, but also have great expectations. I think those are a lot of the strengths that I have. There’s nothing better than bringing a group of people together and have them all going in the same direction.”
DeBoer is no Jimmy.

& shit.

He would be near the top of my list, yes. Getting assblasted by Boise last week and losing at worthless Hawaii (as PGOS noted) takes some of the shine off it though. This shit is almost always a crapshoot unless you're hiring someone like Urban fucking Meyer.
67-3 at the NAIA level is still 67-3 though, good lord. That level of dominance down there is very Brian Kelly or Jim Tressel-esque.
But hiring just a head coach isn't enough. We need commitment from the AD to push the new coach to hire a serious assistant staff and spend the money to make it happen. No more hiring the coach's friend from Boise State who's a really good guy. I don't want to go through another bullshit cycle where we trust the head coach to hire 'his guys', and then fire them in a couple years when the head coach needs a scapegoat.
Go after the best recruiters and coaches on the west coast and pay them. Spend the money now, because this is still salvageable, in a couple years it may not be.
Edit: Although it would be incredible to have a coach say "I was going to coach at Washington but then I found those assholes at Hardcore Husky and decided this wasn't the place for me. "
