1) to here of a coordinator hire by now.
2) to see Deboner in a high level recruit’s living room with said recroot excited that he’s there.
Instead, we are treated to Jon Donovan level silence. Where’s the sizzle?

Comments
Courtney Morgan (not an assistant coach but big addition as director of recruiting)
Donte Williams CoDC/DBs (won't like it if he's calling plays)
Kirby Moore - TEs
Maaaaaybe Orlondo Steinauer DC (please God)
Others I like
Ryan Grubb OL, probably OC unless Tedford ends up here
Junior Adams WRs (only current UW coach being retained)
William Inge LBs (won't like him if he's DC)
Ron McKeefery S & C
JD Williams Other DB coach
Not sure yet
RB coach (hearing we're after some big names)
QB coach (no clue other than Tedford if he's here)
DL coach (no idea but apparently Malloe is dropping down to DC at a lower level)
it'll be very interesting to see who they get as quarterbacks coach. a lot of sources saying grub is weak at that role.
I wouldn't want Williams without Donte. With Donte I'm fine with it.
Biggest issue with this staff above is there are no Polys on it. Have to find one who is respected if Malloe leaves.
My guess is Adams is surviving because he can recruit. I imagine his receivers will look 300x better in this new offense.
“
Williams’ secondary ranked as one the best in the nation in 2018. His group totaled 13 of the Bulldogs’ 19 interceptions, which was fifth best for a FBS team, and as a defensive unit Fresno State was tied for the third-most passes defended in the nation with 79, the most by a Bulldog defense since 1999. The team also held opposing quarterbacks to the fifth-lowest pass efficiency in the FBS at 104.09.
Under his guidance, Tank Kelly was named to the All-Mountain West first team. The senior finished third in the nation with 22 passes defended and was tied for a MW-best four interceptions. He was tied with teammate Juju Hughes who, along with fellow Bulldog safety Mike Bell, was selected to the All-MW second team.
During his first year back in Fresno, the Bulldogs ranked as one of the top defensive units in 2017, finishing 10th in the FBS in scoring defense at 17.9 points per game and 15th in total defense with 320.6 yards allowed per game. Williams guided one of the Bulldogs’ youngest groups on the field with his secondary accounting for 11 of the team’s 19 forced turnovers.”
JD Williams has been in Fresno for a long time. If he left it would surprise, but not shock me.
Moore, Grubb, Inge, and all other DeBoer assistants are coming to Seattle if you want them.
OTOH he was a very good DL coach (should never have been moved off of it) and was really good at recruiting Polys in general, not just at DL. He was instrumental in recruiting Hawaii and Utah.
Also like 1/3 of the roster is Poly and he was the main reason they are here. With him leaving you better have a big time Poly hire to keep those guys feeling respected and on bored. DeBoer being a midwesterner his unfamiliarity with Poly culture is one of my main concerns. I hope he doesn't have to learn the hard way.
I think Malloe was the most obvious keep, I'm bummed he's not coming back.
