The buyout is if he leaves. I'm pretty sure UW owes him most, if not all, of his remaining contract (similar to Jimmy Lake being on the books for multiple years).
Yup. UW isn’t firing Fishdicks after year 3. No way. That’d be upwards of 30 million to part ways at that point. Upper campus needed to have their arms twisted to pony up the 13 million to get Jimmy to go away. UW is stuck with Jedd for at least four, maybe five years. He’s got all the time in the world. There’s a reason there is no urgency whatsoever about this season. Shit, he’s still constantly rotating seven OL halfway into the season. He gives two fucks about this team, this year. He’s building from the ground up and essentially said as much from his first press conference. Obligatory, 2026 will be special.
Dannen is a fucking idiot and he will bolt or retire before he has to make a football hire at Nebraska. He took the UW job thinking that Kalen's situation would be easy to maintain and look what happened.
A complete fucking tool that they regret just hiring because the search firm told them to. Why they poached Chun as someone they were actually familiar with.
Those are good points. I'm just an immature adult who doesn't have much patience for a rebuild. Losing McCree and realizing that Azzopardi isn't adds to the misery.
Still, the self-inflicted stuff hurts and I'd be totally fine being 6-2 with losses @Iowa and @Indiana rather than 4-4 with losses against WSU and @Rutgers too.
FWIW, this is the first time UW had back to back 10+ point losses since 2015 (CP's 2nd year).
UW got no favors by the schedule in the inaugural year, either.
UW rarely plays back to back road games at environments like that. They will be adjust and be okay moving forward. They don't lose at home, and won't next week against usc
Wonder if he regrets that. They had almost as good of a season as UW last year yet have been a 1-6 dreckfest this year. Their OL even worse than UW's with a much easier off-season.
Every broadcast the announcers make a big deal out of Fisch and his staff using a “professional football” approach to running the program.
That’s a great approach. If you have players who are true pros. Just because they are paid doesn’t make them professional.
Fisch has always been overrated. He doesn’t relate with the players at all and neither does his staff. He’s the guy who sells you shitty products, promises great customer service, then bolts for a different job.
The Arizona miracle was a desert mirage and UW (and many of us) got sucked into thinking it was real. Same story, different coach.

We call it the Frank Beamer method.
remember, Pat Chun did not hire Jess Fisch and his buyout is minuscule
The buyout is if he leaves. I'm pretty sure UW owes him most, if not all, of his remaining contract (similar to Jimmy Lake being on the books for multiple years).
No they wouldn't have. They didn't raise FSU for Norvell
So we have a couple opinions not facts
And if they wouldn't keep DeBoer it doesn't matter what Fisch does
Loser university

You put forth assumptions and then say its silly to continue to discuss it, as if you're brandishing facts.
We can assume that if offered equal money DeBoer would have gone to Bama, and I would agree with you in assuming that.
But we can never really know, because UW didn't even try. Dannen admitted as much in the aftermath of DeBoer's exit.

Well it's fact that Jen Cohen left UW for USC and it's fact that DeBoer hired Sexton. Sexton was Saban's agent and only represents SEC coaches.
What are the facts that point to even a slight possibility DeBoer would have stayed?
9 million being an insulting low ball offer

Better to have something like that this year than when the team is better.
DeBoer is getting $10 million at Alabama, not much more. He was going anyway.
Norvell wanted to stay at FSU
Wonder if he regrets that. They had almost as good of a season as UW last year yet have been a 1-6 dreckfest this year. Their OL even worse than UW's with a much easier off-season.
In hindsight his QB last year was the Heisman

This is the way.
So DeBoer took 10 million meaning 12 to 15 gets him to "want" to stay
Sounds like I'm right
But you guys are free to keep your opinion and UW will keep fucking the program
the good news is Florida is doing marginally better lately and Washington’s recent performances make it less likely the Gators will steal Fisch.
so there’s that.
