    The Deboer obsession is weird. I get it he almost beat Oregon with Haens. But ffs it’s his first year as a g5 HC and he lost to fucking Hawaii. Lets actually have some standards please. That’s not even close to a home run hire, it’s pretty risky in fact. I don’t really give a fuck what you did at the d3 level, it’s a lot different. He has the #4 class in the MWC. It’s not even close to a home run.

    3 National titles in 4 years (and a runner up the other) is really strong.

    It's very rare those guys don't find success at higher levels.

    He's not my first choice but he's a good candidate.
    I like him don’t twist. It’s just not a home run.
    I agree with that. I just don't agree with the "IDGAF what you did at the d3 level".

    I do, in fact, gaf.
    The kids you’re dealing with are a lot different. It still matters, I’m being hyperbolic for the sake of my point.

    Of course it isn't a home run. Of course it carries massive risk. Of course recruiting is a huge question mark (as it was for Petersen). There's a lot to like with DeBoer though if you unpack it even a little bit.
