Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

WTF is Kalen DeBoer doing right now?

Legitimately feels like we had more positive momentum during the first month of the Gilbertson-Willingham transition 17 years ago.

Anything out there so far that indicates UW has hired the right guy for the this new era of CFB?

    Agree. It's not the kind of thing that lends itself to headlines and hype.

    So far:

    1. Brings along his staff full of mid-majorish assistant coaches

    2. Multiple projected starters and No. 1 signee jumping ship

    3. UW's NIL "plan" is en epic fail

    4. Already talk of lowering expectations to 4 or (if we're lucky) 5 wins next season

    From what I’ve heard (with a grain of salt), they’re focusing on getting early-ish offers to ‘23 guys and ‘24 guys. Some dudes on the old staff who were transitioning were setting up visit for January but they’ve seemed to have haulted, maybe The Homie Omi got to them… but who knows.
    I’m disappointed until I’m not.

    Could start modernizing the culture by tacitly encouraging boosters to pay players and recruits, raiding the rosters of Top 25 programs and hiring at least one assistant who's coached in a bowl game played after Christmas.

    This is really starting to look (and smell) like we've brought in a bunch of try-hards.

    I’ve really enjoyed legit 20 years now of Doogman saying the staff is focusing on future classes of recruits instead of the ones that you know can sign now and you know play next year especially since the entire roster is going to transfer instead of play for a bunch of Mountain West dudes.

    I at least though Haener and Cropper were low hanging fruit to get some momentum going here but couldn’t even get that.

    Someone said Dempsey alone put $5 million into NIL but maybe that was bullshit and/or doesn’t mean shot when there’s rumors A&M boosters are spending $25-30 million on one class and Georgia is offering Caleb Williams $2 million
