  Let us be thankful the Wake Forest and Iowa State coaches (and who knows else) said no

  It’s nice that she hit it out of the park but we need to know if it was a home run or a grand slam.

  Are we at the stage of delusion where everyone pretends they wanted DeBoer?

  Could be revisionism here, but it seemed like most people were kind of in the LIPO camp. A fair amount of dismay about hiring someone from Fresno State, but a lot of realism that getting the likes of Purple Tie was so much malarkey.
  
  There were a few who were saying that letting the Iowa State guy get away was basically gonna kill the program. But I really don't recall a lot of people saying DeBoer was a terrible hire. Very few people knew anything about him ... and yeah, Cohen was fucking lucky.

  I was in LIPO mode because that's my default position. There are so few slam dunk hires out there. Saw a lot of positives, albeit at lower tier programs.
  
  My primary point of contention with the Campbellites was that there was no evidence to suggest Campbell was any more likely to succeed at UW than DeBoer and he was going to cost way more.

  Gonna need you to link your big support to KDB. Accountability and shit.
  
  Here's one of mine.
  
  Spoonfeed for those too lazy to follow the link:
  
  
  
  
  
  The most valuable coaching commodity in football is somebody who can develop a QB. That's why Lincoln Riley just got 9 digits and why @KkkliffKkklingsbury of all people is not only coaching in the NFL but succeeding. Those guys don't know shit about defense either.
  
  UW just went out and hired a HC that gives us the ability to develop a QB which is the one thing we haven't had since RN. He's also won national championships (3 in 4 years) at lower levels which suggests he can manage a program much better than RN did.
  
  Three are no guarantees but this is a home run swing. DeBoer's upside is the next QB guru/offensive hotshot. And if he becomes that guy recruiting won't be that difficult. Elite QBs care about development more than any other position and elite QB's impact other recruits more than any other position.
  
  I hate Jen Cohen with all that I am and I don't think for a minute she wanted DeBoer over Wilcox or other failures. But the boosters pushed this in the right direction and we got a guy we should be excited about.
  
  There are no guarantees. There never are. But DeBoer not only checks a lot of boxes, he checks the most important ones.
  
  Winners win.

  IIRC, I was pooping for Stoops purple ties (ha!), cautiously luke-warm on Campbell initially moving to "Huh?" when it appeared he was playing hard to get. If you have to think about leaving Ames, Iowa to make more $ in Seattle (or anywhere), I have questions. I was sneaky-hot on Deboer, having been an up-and-coming no-name corch at one point, it's my soft spot...
  
  EDIT: There is no evidence on the board that I was all in on anybody, because it was all in my head...

  I don't recall being a Deboer guy early but I'll take credit
  
  
  Liked his ridiculous winning percentage but I think I was originally Campbell

  If it was so easy to agree, we wouldnt have the vast majority of this board wanting Aranda and Campbell

  I wanted Campbell until I saw the Fresno San Jose State game on Thanksgiving. Fresno had nothing to play for but it was a buttoned up dismantling of the defending MW champs, and IIRC ISU had a pretty meh follow up season at that point.

  Gladstone and HFNY founded the religion. We were amongst the first disciples.
  
  Stoopsism had a good run for a while there though

  I wanted DeBoer over Campbell, that's for sure.
  
  But I wanted Aranda over DeBoer.
  
  Aranda is still a much better choice than Campbell, who I never really understood all the manlove about.

  As the Redskins helmet buttfucking another Redskins helmet shows (FIRST!), I thought Deboer had the most upside of the 3.

  I think this is where I was, but I thought there was no way Aranda would have interest…

  Reasonable take. Aranda was miles above Campbell in the pecking order.
  
  But like the great sage PGOS said...Stoops, DeBoer, or bust...in middle of November 2021
