    Is he still the 2nd greatest coach in Husky history or nah?

    McAfee is a total joke. He's just a pro wrestler posing as a sports reporter. Far more credible people who tweeted after McAfee said it's not official yet.

    It does seem like it has about a 98% chance of happening, though. Thamel is at the very least implying that it's just down to the little details being finalized.

    Who? Rosengarten is probably the only guy left on the roster who would start at Bama. Everyone else good left already.

    It’s going to really suck when Oregon finally climbs the mountain and makes it to the championship game again only to face…..DeBoer.


    And probably accomplish some nice moral victory where they lose by 3 points again.

    Well, who knows. Maybe Oregon will finally manage to lose to De Boer by 1 or 2 points.

    I will never be convinced that @DerekJohnson s conspiracy theory isn’t actually correct

    Alabama was not surprised that Saban was leaving, they have been putting out feelers via his agent for months.

    This Deboer fuck knew about Saban (from his shared agent) and knew he had a chance at the job if he preformed well against Texas after the Pac-12 championship game.

    After Texas he starts thinking about staff, floats the idea to best friend Grubb about coming with him (it’s only in a week anyways). That week of prep, the rumor percolates from the OC into the team especially to Penix and the WRs, coaches missing meetings, not as available as they should be, Penix plays stiff, germbern gets lost on the plane, Polk has a shitty attitude….

    After, Lyons WR immediately portals, Kalepo who should come back leaves, culminating with DJ who probably won’t get drafted leaving all before Deboer apparently even had an offer. The offensive guys knew, or atleast had an idea, well before today.

    And learning about this agent, I'm pretty sure this guy is just moving pieces on the chess board every year. He almost has full control of the whole sec

    Well, his tenure was nice while it lasted. That eliminates any tiny remaining doubt if they're calling a team meeting.

    I wonder what his salary at Alabama is going to be. We reportedly offered him $9 million a year. Just two years ago, $10 million was established as the new high point for CFB salaries. (Mel Tucker was the first guy to get that lol.)

    So, is he getting paid some new record salary like $15 million? Would he seriously leave if it was just over $1 million?

    Read that Washington offered 8.4m, Bama 12m. That not an effort. Losers lose.

    Dellenger reported UW was offering $9 million. I think that Thamel reported UW was offering "at least double" of the current $4.2 million salary, which would mean at least $8.4 million. Really, matching the $12 million probably would have just caused Alabama to up the offer to $15 million. Especially with how Alabama would have been looking totally down the bottom of the barrel at guys like Tommy Rees if they failed to get DeBoer. Dannen really needed to get the new contract signed before Norvell and Sarkisian had turned down the Alabama job, so that it wouldn't have turned into some all out bidding war for DeBoer that Washington probably wasn't capable of winning.

    In any case, thanks a lot for the 50% shares, Big Ten. We lost our coach because of that.

    UW lost big time in this deal. All the money is walking out the door.

    At least UW gets paid. Too bad they won’t use it to do the right thing.

    Its wasn't the base salary. Anything Alabama would offer UW could offer for twice as many years guaranteed, Bama isn't paying Deboer 15 mil, but even if they were.

    UW 9-11 mill for 8-10 years
    Bama 15 mil for 5

    No, UW really isn't getting paid. Not until 2030, anyway.

    I don’t like that DeBoer left, but he’s a winner. He knows he can’t win with the roster that’s left at UW. His career would flame out. I don’t blame him for leaving.

    Coaches prefer the higher per year salaries to more years on the contract. Regardless of whether the UW contract is actually worth more if you multiply the salary by the number of years.

    Coaches believe that they'll get an extension at some point, and will end up serving more than 5 years. Coaches think that getting fired is only something that happens to other coaches.

    If DeBoer is really some savant coach, then he would have UW right back in contention in short order.

    No one thought UW had a 25-3 roster in 2021.

    Maybe not 25-3 but you thought we had a 12-2 team in 2021 with Jimmy Lake and John Donovan as OC

    He’s not a savant. He’s smart. He knows you go where the talent is. He came to UW at the right time. He left at the right time. You want money and fame, you use up others to get it.

    You serious about HHB preseason poles, Clark?

    I vote 12-2 or better every time
