    I can't remember when it happened, probably after Fresno beat UCLA, but there were some posts talking about Deboer then. His records at Sioux Falls as OC were discussed.

    I'm not usually reactionary but I was on board right then and there. I don't claim it as an original idea on my part. It wasn't.

    I haven't followed hoops for a couple years, previous to that I never missed a game. Perennial football programs typically have good hoops teams also. I think it's a great time to fire Hop and start over while football stock is increasing.

    DeBoner was my 1st choice also

    Some would say it began here. I try to stay out of it.

    There it is. I was thinking someone posted some of his OC stats too. I only looked at the first page so maybe they came later. Don't remember.

    Props for being the thread starter. I'm pretty sure that makes you first.

    DeBoer wasn't my first choice but my ultimate first choice was to go get the North Dakota State football coach and AD and start over. We kind of did that in the coach route (someone who had won hugely in the lower ranks and bring them into the Seattle culture). But again, I wasn't yelling to get DeBoer.

    This is the thread where I change PGOS' opinion of DeBoer, going from "lol he lost to Hawaii, no thanks" to "yeah hire this guy."

    More importantly, I think this is where bananasnblondes first coined the DeBoner name.

    It takes a village.

    Absolutely hate that half the defense was awesome and half the defense was FCS level and people look at the defense and call it "average" or "an improvement".

    Imagine what this season would have looked like if we had 43 total yards from our running backs. Would the offense be accepted because we had so many air yards?

    Morrell and Juice should have hot seats until they prove they can pull their weight without relying on an elite DL in front of them
