A coach who is getting railroaded out of cfb by the NCAA and the team is clearly rallying around him and want to cement his legacy and he can easily say he can't even stay at the job is just like a coach secretly trying to take another job and declining extension offers.
I don't take anything away from Michigan and how well they played in that game versus UW. Trying to compare Harbaugh's leaving situation against DeBoer's is a mighty stretch. That team was all in all season about winning it for Harbaugh and that staff around him was assuredly wanting to show promoting them was the move where UW's was probably picking up on weird DeBoer vibes and wondering if they were gonna get to go along wherever he was probably going.
It's almost like when the Rose Bowl become Urban's farewell and on the other side Petersen was trying to quit. I love this trend for UW.
Ulofoshio said that Michigan was disguising coverages and doing some things on the back end that confused Penix. The rest is all just speculation, but we? were still only down by a touchdown midway through the 4th quarter with the ball, and we were the team that could score a long TD at a moment's notice.
Grubb isn't some genius OC and he got worked by a staff that got promoted to the NFL.
Michigan followed the formula. ASU showed everyone how easy it was to disrupt UWs offense via endless, disguised blitzes. Grubb and Deboer failed to muster any kind of answer for it. It's on them collectively.
My question is this...are Lanning/Tosh and Sark/Kawasaki all retards for not doing the same? Five games vs GrubHub between them in a span of just over a year, and they never got it.
That's a rhetorical question. Of course they're retards.
It's a fair question but I don't think it's that simple. Michigan has been elite on defense for years now, especially when it counts. Looks at the personnel Ohio State has had the past few years they've been able to beat. They gave CJ Stroud trouble and he was doing just fine against NFL defenses last year.
Michigan had great personnel on top of great scheme and coaching and specifically had DTs who could get pressure without them blitzing, probably the best CB in college football last year, and another CB who could go as high as top 5 in 2025. They also had a great offensive game plan and executed it really well early which put the UW offense in a place they hadn't been since the UCLA/ASU debacle of 2022.
I don't Lanning and Sark are anywhere in the same league of coaching as Harbaugh. Plus Sark tried the prevent defense thing in 2022 and UW easily controlled the game without even playing that well on offense.
Y'all cope as hard as you want. Michigan scored more points in 1 quarter, TWICE, than UW did in the entire game. I know it sucks. I was screaming and crying like a child having a tantrum during the Ohio St no-natty.
Well, I once asked Coach James if he ever considered leaving. He said if Ohio State offered he would have had a hard time saying no. Otherwise, he had no interest in any other job.
And that's pretty much how I feel about DeBoer and his "Alabama is the only place I would leave Washington for." I think that's half true. I think the list is Alabama, Ohio State, and maybe Texas.
In UW's history we've had coaches now leave for Texas, Bama, and then SC where it was a situation where UW wasn't going to bid to keep a guy that never broke through here. But dumb fucks try to dance on that when their coaches are leaving for rotting corpse Miami, FSU, Mud Dawg, and Michigan State.

Michigan played 4 games without Harbaugh and wanted the interim guy to get the job

yeah but still.
1 Michigan was the better team
2 UW didn't look right
As for reasons UW didn't look right, I believe it was a combo of
1 compressed travel plans with worse accommodations compared to Michigan. Note: this is UW's fault
2 Distractions by corching staff

Some corches are just too damn proud to change things. Look at how Petersen worked Leach every year, yet Leach never changed a damn thing.

Mario Cristobal beat Ohio St at The Shoe. I like to call it that. Also @DerekJohnson another one of which I don't remember the origin. /shrug
Down by 7 in the 4th.
Oregon's game was never in doubt.
Fuck DeBoer.
I mean, thanks for 14-1, but he can fuck right off for not putting in 100% in the championship game.
Don James didn't leave when Ohio State came calling, and then come back with some bitchy excuse on the radio about being low-balled.
Don James stayed and then won an NC here.
DeBoer is no Don James.
Well, I once asked Coach James if he ever considered leaving. He said if Ohio State offered he would have had a hard time saying no. Otherwise, he had no interest in any other job.
