Per Softy

Sounds like Dannen brought Deboer an $8.5 million offer last month. He and Sexton wanted to wait to see if he won a national title. It didn’t sit well with the administration but they came back later with a $9.5 million dollar offer and they didn’t sign this. Softy also had a friend who interviewed to be on the football or training staff and Deboer straight up told him he would only leave UW for the NFL or Bama. What fucking timing. Sounds like there wasn’t anything anyone could do. He was going to turn down every offer they came with likely.

Imagine being a boss and having an employee who is high flight risk and says I’ll only leave for alabama or the NFL. That employees #2 extensively interviews with alabama and then that same employee hires Sabans agent.

“I had no idea what was happening”

Fuck that guy, fuck that whole department

Softy lives up to his name with all the times he's said that he's not mad at KD.

Bullshit

Winners win. Losers make excuses. Softy is a loser

That's right the good feelings are gone Softy. The war is back on pal

I’m cleaning my AK and checking my RPG before grabbing my pith helmet and headed back to the hills.

UW AD needs to get its financial house and NIL in order or this is just gonna happen again with the next guy.

Softy is close on the what(timing and figures) but he doesn’t get or doesn’t want to get the why.

Again … what do you want done in that situation?

Only thing you can really do is make your best effort and be prepared to act when the job opens

Have the next guy lined up, write in poison pill against bama when you had the leverage in his first contract.

All the effort today is CYA, not fixing the problem.

The whole fucking roster is bouncing because they feel abandoned and disconnected from the department. He should have been doing everything to keep the roster together. Instead he’s co-signing puff piece trying to explain the situation.

Fucking beta athletic department

I don’t think there’s anything that could be done to keep DeBoer

I’d be very surprised if DeBoer spends more than 3-5 years at Bama before doing the NFL thing

Or fired. I’d say both are equally possible. Very much rooting for the later

Book it. Just wait until Kirby Smart boatraces Bama next year. I get the move. I think it is a mistake by my measurements and bias. But, I also think he has no idea what he’s getting himself into. He thinks he does, but he’s naïve. I will enjoy listening to the Bama fans in Kiawah rip him. It’s going to be awesome.

If you’ve got someone high flight who you’re super dependent on you make a succession plan. If he refuses to commit to the org you start moving on because you know what’s coming.

Getting caught with your pants down and then spending the day giving excuses is exactly what a board will hang you out to dry for

I want UW to flay deboer by using his fake public persona against him.

When they knew months ago...

Mid season once you knew there was trouble make a public statement about how the first thing Deboar did was say how he wanted to build something himself at a legacy school like UW, force him to full lean into the humble good guy falsehood, publish a commercial using deboars face talking about his long term personal commitment to UW, Seattle, and the community, local news stories about him riding public transit every weekend, put his daughter on a giant banner that says Loyal to the Soil outside his office window... Then, make a massive offer and make it public so no one can say you didn't give him everything he could possibly ask for, use the media to paint him as the greedy multi-millionaire bastard fucking kids like Durfee, Morris, or Newton over.

Hire someone's vindictive ex wife from here, hire @Doog_de_Jour , Im sure she's got better ideas.

If he was going to leave, he was going to leave... but If he was going to death penalty UW, atleast make him pay for it, dont make it easy and let him walk away with his head high.

TLDR: vindictive murder suicide

Hire someone first, then go scorched earth.

Listening to KJR online for the first time in years. Last two commercials were for Moderna and a climate change anxiety management service. Just reporting the facts.

Hugh just mentioned abortion on Softy’s show.

Did he mention me?

What makes you think Georgia will boat race Bama next year? Wishful thinking I'm afraid.

I'm dubious, at best. Does anyone really believe Softy had a friend?

I can't believe fain doesn't get more grief

He thinks Grubb is the best hire they could make and is his #1 target.

Boatrace is wishful. Howsoever, Bama fans realizing that Deboor gives 2 shits about defense shall be entertaining.
