What DeBoer Is

def he is small time, but he does have odd luck. does not get tight in close games and figures out a way to roll in the mud and get shitty wins.

And lucky is better than good. If luck wins out, so be it.FireCohen said:def he is small time, but he does have odd luck. does not get tight in close games and figures out a way to roll in the mud and get shitty wins.

A spicy take - I disagree.
We are outplaying our overall talent level thanks to the QB - WR tandem that DeBoer has brought in / developed. That was his doing - and it has paid dividends.
The rest of our team looks good enough to win when everything is clicking smoothly, but we clearly don't have the depth of say, Oregon.
Next year will tell us quite a bit about how much this year was about catching everything just right. Looking ugly or not, we are the last undefeated team in Pac-12 history.
Will we continue to improve development? can we improve recruiting? will we find another star QB?
This year and last year could have been good, and yet somehow, this could be a Helfrich-esque facade. But i think him bringing in Penix, and having it click shows that DeBoer et al. have a system that can work, and they have a track record of making it work. -
I would like the luck to bounce us a few shitty turnovers like our offense is coughing up.

This is why I’m not in favor of giving DeBoer a $10M contract until we see what happens next year.Muttzen said:A spicy take - I disagree.

Very much this, petermen always lost these kinds of tight games against shit opponents. Deboner wins them....but we seem to be having a lot of them.FireCohen said:def he is small time, but he does have odd luck. does not get tight in close games and figures out a way to roll in the mud and get shitty wins.

Helfrich was an assistant. DeBoer was an a up and comer with HC experience.Muttzen said:A spicy take - I disagree.

I agree though with your take mostly though especially as it relates to depth. We’ve gotta some dudes back in the lineup. -
I picked something like 5 wins last year, because of an appearance of a shortage of talent, and said anything we got out of a 4-serious-injuries Penix was a bonus. It appears what we got is 1.5 great seasons.
What's left when he's gone? McMillan, maybe? Some unproven QB? The same lack of running game and general mediocre OL? The same shitty defense that cannot tackle? (I'd like to think he makes some coaching changes, but teams that win ~10 games usually don't.)
It'll be a really interesting case for DeBoer. He's never struggled as a head coach, only had success. Not counting the silly 2020 "season", he's got a whopping 1 home loss in his career.
He's won enough to get a year to see what he can put together in our first season in the B1G. If he doesn't, I'll be calling for his head too.
