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.Geevis_and_Butthead said:Yes, it's true

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.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Are we at the stage of delusion where everyone pretends they wanted DeBoer?

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.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Are we at the stage of delusion where everyone pretends they wanted DeBoer?

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.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Are we at the stage of delusion where everyone pretends they wanted DeBoer?

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... -
