    If Orlondo stays in Canada, likely means he just really didn’t want to go back to CFB, but DeBoer misread his interest.

    If he goes to another CFB program, it means we are cheap fucks and We aren’t going anywhere until Jen Cohen is gone.

    In isolation sure, no big deal. Orlondo was quoted recently as prizing "work-life balance", so if he stays in the CFL it's likely that that's just due to him being one of the rare breed of coaches who actually cares about his individual and family well-being.

    But contextually that'd be a big fucking failure by Deboner. All signs seem to indicate that we were waiting on Orlondo to decide, and if Deboner wasn't able to get a read or answer from him in that period then he miscalculated terribly and wasted two weeks of other potential assistants going elsewhere, and recruiting defensive prospects.
    The only way it’s not a massive fuck up is if he’s got someone else in his pocket that is also a great hire. If it’s Inge it’s a big fuckup. Maybe DeBoner is just being deliberate and wants to give himself every chance to make the right hire, but to me he’s scrambling until proven otherwise. Personally I’d call Daronte Jones today.

    Even if it is a fuck up… steinauer apparently hates recruiting. Even if he was a pretty decent coordinator we need the entire staff to recruit, especially since Lincoln Riley is apparently doing everything to can to keep Donte Williams at USC. BTP’s defense was always that Williams as co-DC could pick up the recruiting slack for steinauer. Now that’s not a defense anymore.

    And it makes sense for a guy who hates recruiting but isn’t good enough to be an nfl coordinator to stay in the cfl especially if he’s enjoying success on the field there.

    Fatters just said the same on Dawgman. Really disappointing if true. We really are going to have the entire Fresno staff + Junior aren't we?

    This is what happens when UW is cheap AF and your head coach doesn't have connections at the P5 level.

    Go get Jeff Choate.

    Choate was my favorite Petersen guy the day he showed up at UW. He has a kind of scruffy, tuff yet engaging personality, and showed it was effective at recruiting.

    He and kwat sucked really bad this past year. Not sure why you’d want to overpay for him now.
