We'll Make It Real Simple

Sark would have taken all the front line players from the 2014 team that went 8-6 with him to USC. Shaq, Kikaha, Peters etc. Maybe Ross although he’d been fighting injuries. Vita was a recruit that could have jumped to USC but was re-sold on UW by Pete. The young guys from that team that contributed to the 2016 run are probably still at UW as Sark probably thought he could upgrade them through recruiting at USC. 14 and 15 are most likely a lot better records at UW because Pete could have taken the very best from Boise to help him set his program culture here at UW. Remember, The 2015 Boise team won the Fiesta Bowl. I’ll bet they go 9-5 in 2014 and 9-4 or 10-3 in 2015.

if some other place is fucking stupid enough to take Fisch off UW’s hands, you kiss them on the cheek and go help the fucker pack

I surely do miss the era of relative coaching stability and @creepycoug starting sentences with a capital letter.

There are plenty of legit reasons to question whether giving Jedd an extension is good business … I'm not immune to that line of thinking
I do see some significant roster gaps that we still need 1-2 more classes to cover the institutional rot that was in place after the 2023 season … those paying attention know that DeBoer's recruiting wasn't good and that the roster that Jedd inherited was not good.
IF Jedd leaves then the odds of taking at least 1 step backwards in terms of the roster and we're looking at likely a 2-3 year rebuild. It's easy to say "go spend money to buy a roster" but what gives you any confidence that UW and Pat Chun will be doing that?
When people ask "who to hire" if Jedd leaves, it's an honest one. Maybe you can get a better coach but they don't have the roster to bring with them … it's all about getting the players right?
I do think Jedd has a relatively good floor here in the 8+ win range. I do think it's fair to question how often he can get to the 10+ range. Saturday at Wisconsin didn't help in that regard.
My opinion is that I'd rather push the decision on Jedd leaving (either because he's not good enough and gets fired or he is good enough and goes to the NFL, etc.) to 1-2 years down the road. I'd rather be facing a scenario of going into the coaching market in what is likely a better position than where we are today.
But I can completely understand not extending him or whatever is being more to the program's benefit than Jedd's benefit.
I can completely understand choosing the $10M buyout if someone (UCLA) chooses to poach him.
Regardless UW isn't operating from a position of strength here and that's not a good thing
I also don't trust Chun at all … so there's that

Dude, if you haven't before, listen to radio coverage of the world series in Spanish. I listened to 80% of game 7 on my way back from wherever. Those guys are fucking hilarious and awesome.

His floor is 6 wins. It's what he's done.

The "who could we get" argument is, and always has been, retarded. It's not an honest question, it's why the halfbrain revolution started. There are 8 billion people on earth. Don't be a fucking pussy because you're afraid UW might do worse than Fisch. It's a logical fallacy to flip that impetus onto the fans wanting a coach gone. We don't need to be the ones who know the answer, we can be the ones who know there's a problem.
Oh, and the answer is "someone better". That's who you could get. The Eagles fired Doug Pederson 3 years after winning a Super Bowl and got a better coach.
