But When Did Dannen Know KDB Wasn’t Coming Back?

    It's beyond the pale of @Mad_Son settlement, even in this fucked up age of college football.

    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.
    I made mention of being fucked for depth a few times but backed it off because it felt petty as we made the natty run.
    Wasn’t ignored just didn’t realize what the fuck was truly transpiring right in front of us.
    Helluva salesman. Hope he gets anal chlamydia.

    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.

    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?
    The AD should have a pdf with their standard/preferred marketing collateral (images, logos, color shades, font, etc etc) that they’d send out ahead of time to the boel committee.

    Let’s just blame ramming on this one

    Who were the names in consideration? All Jimmy Sexton guys, every fucking one of them. I've dealt with enough agents to know that if Deboer would have signed that contract at Thanksgiving, he would currently be shopping for a new agent. Football coaches coach football. Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

    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.

    You're not in Sioux Falls any more, Toto...
    I wonder if we’ll ever get to a point when universities don’t want to deal with this malarkey anymore.

    Probably not at least until the vice of stadium debt is in the rear view mirror.

    Was the stadium that much "vice" though? $250 million seems rather cheap looking at what new stadiums run these days, and I would describe it as more of a "need" than a "want".

    I never realized that Bob Woodward voiced his opinion on this. Incredible.

    The stadium debt is our best friend, it's what's forcing the AD to remain competitive.
    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.

    Need and want are irrelevant. Debt Service is no joke.

    In this case nominal dollars are chimportant. I thought I read that $12-14 Million are owed this year in stadium det service. (I'm open to being corrected).

    No joke when the AD budget is in the range of $30+ milly.

    So when do they start colluding and then getting sued by Sexton?
    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.

    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.

    It's not looking good.
