Grubb rumored to be going to Bama

No fucking way Bama would go to the same well twice if DeBoer shits the bed. No way.
-
After Price and DeBoer they may never visit the state again
-
Price was a Warshinton (state) guy…Deboer and Fische are in transit to the next bag. To the winner goes the spoils, all others hire a big time agent…
-
That would be ideal, yes.

unless he has a Tuff schedule.
then it’s #schedules and more tim. -
DeBoer will be a success there
-
It’s all relative. UW and Bama have very different ideas of success and that’s no shot at UW. The guy is going to have to do Urban Meyer, Kirby Smart type business at worst, very quickly.

Yes I understand that

Sometimes coaches that seem like they should thrive at new universities, don’t. I thought when RichRod left West Virginia he would take the Big 10 by storm with his crazy zone read offense. He’d had the Mountaineers on the doorstep of a title game. What would he do with Michigans resources? Scott Frost going home to Nebraska seemed like the perfect fit. Undefeated at UCF the previous year. He could never get over the hump. Harbaugh took forever to get Michigan where they wanted to be. You think Bama will give Boner four or five years to get it right? Dan Mullen won 11 games at Mississippi State and had them ranked #1 for a spell. The Cougars of the SEC at number one. Crazy. He was an Urban Meyer guy, and I thought he was the perfect coach to get Florida right. Nope. Lincoln Riley at USC, Dirk Koetter at ASU, Dan Hawkins at Colorado, Brian Kelly at LSU (so far), all of them had massive success at other universities and failed at the bigger job. It happens all the time. I think to myself, that guy will kill it there, and then they fail. There’s something to be said about fit. Grass isn’t greener, Bigger isn’t always better. Do I think that will happen to KDB? Probably not, but I sure hold out hope it does. FTG. I’m still bitter.

I agree with all that and it's a good point. But there are also numerous examples of guys you think will do well that do great. DeBoer has an extensive history to review and it shows that he gets the best out of people and is a proven winner. One season of going 9-4 doesn't mean he's suddenly a fraud and a bust, despite the doogish wishful thinking from many on this bored.
