There’s always going to be other great opportunities out there for great coaches.
But you don’t have 1 foot out the door in year 2 in the middle of a Natty run.
Fuck that guy forever.
The reason you get into the sports business at a high level is to compete and win championships … if you do that the money follows
To torpedo your chances when you get that chance (and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get that chance again) speaks volumes about your character and priorities
DeBoer had ZERO connection to Bamma or the SEC.
He was already in a Year 2 CFP/Natty run at a Top 10 to 20 type program about to triple the original salary. And that's not good enough to still around for 4 or 5 years? What the fuck.
I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.
Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.
IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

And UW did it intelligently, building in 2012 when the Residential / Commercial Real Estate was still emerging from the crapper while selecting a developer headed by UW alums who bid aggressively on it. Otherwise UW could have had a gaping sphincter hole like Arizona or Cal.UWhuskytskeet said:

Was the weasel in New Orleans on some kind of parade float and if so, did UW know about it? If it’s something Dannen or his staff knew about and didn’t notice or worse, blessed off on, then they need to get their shit together.dirtysouwfdawg said:
So far… the weasel thing was pretty stupid though that was only under his watch and not his doing but just like in my real life, one of my subordinates fucks up, I fucked up.jecornel said:Let’s hope.
PostGameOrangeSlices said:Dannen is a lot of things, but he isn't an idiot.
I suspect the Sugar Bowl committee/staff/Madri Gras people did a Google search for UW, found it and had it printed out and stuck it on the float. If that’s the case, that shit is on Cohen for not getting an intern to figure out how to suppress/remove the image from the internet.
As for the Huskie thing, who amongst us hasn’t had a typo before? -

Colluding would work about as well as it does in baseball…at different points when I was in pro ball, mgmt would red-flag players repped by Boras. Depending on who was in charge, it would change if we were in on a guy or not, based on his agent, and bosses’ relationship with said agent.Bob_C said:
So when do they start colluding and then getting sued by Sexton?YellowSnow said:

So obviously I was WAY off on the $30m number. That said poont still stands. This budget is showing $4m in red ink. Then add the stadium principal debt payments that start this year in excess of 8-figures.YellowSnow said:
