    If Michigan would have had to fire Harbaugh, or Ohio St/Bama opens up for some reason I'd be worried, but taking 7 mil which IIRC Petersen got to go rebuild the tire fire he just witnessed firshand just feels like wishful thinking by Sparttards.

    Tennessee couldn't get Petersen.

    Could 100% see MSU hiring Grubb though.

    UW was a tire fire when he arrived

    Deboer's daughter doesn't start college for another year FWIW. Not gonna be a factor in him staying or leaving if other schools pony up $10M+ a year

    I don't see why it would make a difference either way. A guy who cares whether or not his adult daughter is in the same city as him so he can go watch a fucking softball game is not the same kind of psychopathic workaholic that is needed to succeed in college football.

    Deboer is going to do what's best for his career, and it's up to AMC to convince him that staying, and getting a Brinks truck full of cash in the process, is the right path forward.
    You don't think her dad coaching at UW contributed to her picking UW as her school? Of course it did!

    Just my opinion but I think Fats is a whynotboth.gif kind of guy, which is why Tedford and Petersen recommended him to UW.

    If you watch his interviews this year his approach isn't about just paying for better talent and rolling the same way Saban was. Doesn't mean he isn't obsessed with winning.

    My only real concern is Washington State's bullshit NIL "ethics" laws or whatever he brought up. I don't know what they entail but he did mention that they're "pretty tight".

    So I think it's more likely that an SEC blueblood could pull him because of the convenience with recruiting, but even then I don't think he's in favor of straight up paying for high school kids that have no played a down of cfb.

    He mentioned that UW has a great locker room because the guys getting paid have earned it. I don't think he wants to deviate from that system very much. UW NIL just needs to improve a bit more but Seattle amenities make it close enough imo.
    I don't know enough about how the specifics of our NIL to compare it to others, but I have no problem believing that it'll be a huge factor in how Deboer maps his career. Having a stable and well-funded NIL is crucial to operating a program and sustaining success.

    Watching your daughter play softball is not.
