    If DeBoner sucks, fire him and start again in three years

    You realize that's likely what the bored will be sayin in a decade.....after doing exactly that for a decade, after basically doing that since James left. Lather rinse repeat.

    Campbell hasn't done shit in recruiting, this seems like the weakest argument for hiring him over Deboner. ISU's class this year has a lower avg rating than Worshingtons 2022 class, and we? just fired our coach while they are coming off a NY6 win.

    Washington isn't going to compete with Oregon and USC when it comes to recruiting, so they need a coach that can develop and out scheme people because they will be at a talent disadvantage. Kalen looks like a guy that can do that, which is why is the hire has a chance to work. Have to give the guy a chance and hope for the best.

    This. Seen a lot of posts about how he needs to recruit/hire guys who can recruit. Haven't seen much about COACHING.
    You need recruiters around Deboer.

    Nope ... replace Oregon with UCLA and that is how it was in the 80s

    It's not about beating them in recruiting, it's about making sure that you recruit well enough that your internal development and game day coaching can close the gap.

    If you don't recruit well enough to keep the gap close enough, it doesn't matter how good of a coach you have

    Tequila, may I suggest you start reading the posts before responding?

    USC will have top five classes under Riley, Oregon will have top ten classes under Mario. For Washington under Kalen, you hope for top 25 classes and that he can make up the difference through scheme and development.
    Yep

    Ideally you get into that 15-20 range with Pete ...

    But I don't think you can expect DeBoer to walk in and recruit to that level Day 1 ... get success the first couple of years on the field and you might be able to get the uptick to those levels when you combine with some of the off field NIL stuff with Montlake Futures gaining traction and visibility

    The concern is that recruiting falls off to the point where you're not able to make that gap up ...

    We'll see ... the staff hires will tell us a lot

    Embarrassing take. I understand not having the same classes as usc but now we've given up on recruiting at the university of eugenes level? Wow.
