Why in the ever-living fuck are we not offering the Arizona WR coach to double his salary? Instead it sounds like we're moving on to either the San Jose State guy or a guy who was just fired from Colorado
It's not the Washington way to hurt your rivals. We root them on in our stead.
Ok well im going to wait till a school announcement. Seems like every announcement from random Twitter handles over the past 6 months is first and wrong
I know Jen is a buffoon and all, but why isn’t DeBoner culpable in all this? Do we know it’s strictly a money issue?
One of the bad signs early in the new coach’s time at the helm (I like to say “at the helm” when referring to a coach) is his inability to land great assistants.
If this is all on Jen, school me. But DeBoner isn’t impressing either.
Fucking this. After reading that Taki exit interview from Caple this morning, DeBoner can't seem to sell shit, let alone close. Fuck me.
What exactly did you read that gave you that sense? I didn't see anything in there that suggested that Deboner made a particularly hard push, or that he was "out-sold" in any way. Sounds like Taki had had one foot out the door for well over a year now.
Deboner still might not be able to sell shit, so don't twist, but that interview wasn't evidence of anything.
Hmm, unless I have the reading comprehension of a 3-year-old, I thought that entire section of the Taki interview, where he mentioned how Lanning and Tosh sold him not only on the scheme and development but also how Tosh explicitly sold him on it being okay going to a rival as a Husky. That, and meeting with DeBoer and still deciding Oregon was better for his future.
So, this excerpt:
"That’s when (D-line coach) Tony (Tuioti) was over there, and I had a really good relationship with him and the whole staff over there. I was thinking of going to Nebraska, then I also had Baylor and my buddy Apu (Siaki Ika) over there. Oregon came into the picture with Tony going over there, and then we talked a little bit more, and I just talked about “I’m a Husky,” you know? I was taught to hate Oregon. So it was hard for me. I told him that. Coaching-wise, there has to be something that pulls me there. I had a good talk with (new Oregon coach Dan) Lanning and his whole scheme and what he wanted to do, and it really impressed me.
He had told me who the DC would be, Tosh (Lupoi), and I have a really good relationship with Tosh. I’ve known him since my freshman year of high school. I ended up not going to Alabama (where Lupoi worked at the time) because it was too far and I really liked UW. And just with the opportunity, me and Tosh sat down and talked, and he told me he was a Husky, too, and he understands what it’s going to be like to do that. He went through his phase of not liking Oregon, too, and he said, “I promise you, (the criticism) will be bad, but I’ll be right here with you. You won’t just take the heat by yourself. It’s going to be me and you.” And I was like, well, yep, then let’s do it.
I met with DeBoer. We had a really good talk. It was actually really hard to leave. I was unsure, but I told him I just wanted to see other opportunities that I had out there, but I told him I would still consider UW. Then I threw my name in the portal, but we still kept in touch. And then I decided I was going to fully leave from UW and attend the University of Oregon."
After our first COVID season, I kind of was thinking about (transferring), and I was like, man, these are my boys. I’m just going to (stick) this season out and see how it goes.
This is the “one foot out the door” part. He considered it after COVID year one and then made a commitment to himself that he’d stick around for 2021. Seems to me like he was going to reevaluate after this season no matter what.

I hear ya. This "one foot out the door" frame of mind makes sense.
Perhaps it's the NegaDoog in me, but it just seems like sellers sell. And Lanning/Tosh sold it better than DeBoer/Inoke/Inge, even as THE rival program, as Tosh seemed to clearly lay it out and sell how he was going to defend him.
In other words, even if he had thoughts of transferring, an elite salesman would validate their thoughts and then tell them how their new strategy is better.

I don’t disagree, but DeBoer sold McMillan on staying when I think we can be pretty damn sure he was getting recruited under the table by Oregon and multiple other schools. He has an offensive resume so maybe it’s easier to do that for guys on that side of the ball, but I’m way happier about keeping McMillan than I am upset about losing Taki.
I see her retiring in the next year or two. May depend on how Hopkins does the rest of the season and if he is (barely) able to stick around for 2022-2023.

She’s horrible. I can’t see any upside to her retaining her job
Can we just scrap hiring a WR coach and flip it into the salary cap for WRs and buy the top 2-3 guys playing in the G5? Probably more efficient at this point.
I still haven’t heard anything about Sheppard taking the ND job yet. Wtf?
Notre Dame is interviewing Bama's WR coach Holmon Wiggins sometime this week (maybe as early as today?). They had to wait until the season was over. Shephard is their second choice so they're going to see if Wiggins rejects them first.

Yeah this is the same thing I've seen on various posts and tweets but it seems odd since some coaches involved in the playoffs already accepted new jobs -- why does Bama's WR coach need to wait until after the playoffs to even interview while Georgia's DC didn't have to wait in order to interview and accept. It isn't like Bama benefited by making their WR coach wait.

Having his co-DC become a head coach at a desirable P-5 far away is a feather in Kirby’s cap. Saban losing a position coach he would like to keep to a lateral move isn’t. If the assistant isn’t hired then he’s also pissed off the dark lord. Or maybe he legitimately didn’t want the distraction, but for a coordinator or HC job the distraction is worth it.

Fresno North Dawgs don’t poach P5 talent from other more desirable teams that show interest.

So you know we? will end up with Scott.
