DeBoer

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.

    Would love this guy as our next coach if we can’t get stoops.

    I’m all for a coach that can be called da-boner.
  • If we get him maybe Heaner will portal back.

    I like watching his offense. Outside of his overall record, I've seen guys wide open all the time. Plenty of horizontal and vertical stuff going on.

    His staff is good. His OC is well thought of (I think Tedford originally hired him as his WR coach) and Kirby Moore and JD Williams have Chinteresting ties to UW.

    Those quotes don't mean anything to me. Coachspeak is coachspeak. I do like that his career record as a HC is 77-9, and that he won 3 national titles at the lower level. They were a very good program before him but they never broke through once they were upgraded to the Great Plains Athletic Conference, the previous HC only made a 'ship game once and lost. DeBoer took over and won three national championships in four years, with the off fourth year a loss in the national championship game. If we're talking potential Husky HCs, that's a fucking start. As an OC he improved every D1 offense he worked with, oftentimes dramatically improved them. Indiana in 2019 was destroying people on O, and they sucked before DeBoer arrived and sucked after, so yeah.

    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.

    This post actually convinced me we should hire this guy. The Indiana point is a really strong one.

    @Gladstone brings the heat

    And @HFNY has been on this

    I'm pretty damn sold. He checks all of my boxes and a couple of extras.

    Can he bring Haener with him?

    The helpful thing is that I bet Tedford knows DeBoer due to their Fresno State ties and is probably talking him up to Cohen.

    DeBoer as HC and Wilcox as his DC would be pretty NEAT.

    Woof, snarl, bark.

    If we don't hire him he'll probably end up in Pullman

    It’s fun to see that despite one of the worst seasons in recent memory, lil Jimmie is still employeed, and the majority of the AD staff graduated from whoregon and auburn; you guys are still doogin and optimistic about new coaches.

    Haven’t we? learned that if there’s a way to fuck it up then this university will…

    I’m cautiously optimistic, I just don’t want you homos getting excited only to be left with your dick in your hands.
