Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Digesting this and repeating things

I don't blame DeBoer for jumping for another jerb. I might do the same thing. 95% of this bored would jump for more money. I do think it's silly to quibble over set for life money though. My heart bleeds for people who can't afford the sixth house, or had to cut short the holiday in the Fr. Riviera down two days because they are making 9 million instead of 11 million, not to mention all the camp money, shoe money, advertising money, public speech money etc. Get bent.

There's plenty of blame him for stringing UW along. I'm sure his agent was in his ear. His honest Midwestern farmer routine is ridiculous. I'm not going to let it consume me though. I hold enough grudges in real life. But SEC types don't play around. Go 8-4, and you'll be toast. Have fun with that, jerk.

    Dannen said today on 710 that he had a feeling around Thanksgiving that DeBoer was gone after refusing to sign contract extensions

    Clearly he had a contingency plan in place and executed it. Good on him.
    Strong agree.

    I don’t blame him for leaving, and I’d feel differently if he won the natty, but laying an egg in the natty because you’ve got one foot out the door is unforgivable. Fuck that guy forever.

    I'm over the whole DeBoer exit. Did it piss me off that he was looking at the Bama job while coaching for the NCG? Absolutely. Oh well, it's in the rear view mirror. There's nothing UW could've done to stop it.

    Why worry about a coach that used the program in such a terrible way? Dannen did the right thing, made a good hire. Time to move on a get ready to play in the fall.

    And Fisch isn't getting everyone signed day 1. Let the dust settle and the players in the portal can make the call that's best for them


    I'm more confident now that UW will field a team

    This. Kids have 30 days to decide to enter the portal, so we may have to be patient. I think Fisch will bring some of his guys up here, and I think he’ll convince some of our guys to stay. Other coaches will get hired other places, and those kids will become available too. I sure there will be some surprises, and this roster come spring ball will look nothing like it does right now. It’s fucking hard to be patient when our roster is obliterated though.
