Give him a raise
If Walters holds Oregon to 20 or under, he should get a 30% raise because he is doing an increasingly good job as DC. Probably tack on a year because it would set the D back again to lose him.

Yes.

Chun should lie to him and tell him he will be considered for HC if he stays a few years
-
Walters could be our modern day Lambo, not sure about the HC part. Maybe he is over wanting to be a HC and just wants to be a highly paid and respected DC? Wishful thinking
-
I’m really glad he’s already failed as a head coach.
I remember Walters saying before the season that he knows what a good front 7 is supposed to look like and we had a good one.
The defense getting better all season is a big reason why I’m optimistic about next year. Some tweaks of the offense and Demond maturing and we could be really good.

Fisch giving up the play calling is the only thing maybe as imperative for an off-season natty as retaining Walters.
I cannot believe this defense has kept them in physical fucking games with Ohio State and Michigan while the offense gives them 0 breathing room.
Last year's team, those games look like @ Iowa

That quote, and then him also talking about how basically zero head coaches in college call their offensive plays, was really annoying to hear.
Jedd will never change.

It was funny though when Yogi was talking about the situation and corrected himself to refer to Jedd as They/Them.
-
When the play caller is also the decision maker on go for it on 4th downs that if often a problem.

Definitely have a good one now and it seems like the staff is devoting more House Settlement resources to DL recruiting. Need to get a 3 down Edge Rusher in the portal because Durfee probably won't have another year and Isaiah Ward and Deuce Davis are more pass-rusher specialists who are injured too often.
Regarding Walters, I bet he wants another crack at a head coaching job so there are worse things that getting paid very well at UW for 2-3 seasons and seeing how to build a program. I am advocating for at least a 30% raise for him (if not 50%) since a Blue Blood may try to poach him. He's from LA so staying on the West Coast must have some sort of appeal to him.
