But When Did Dannen Know KDB Wasn’t Coming Back?

[CallMeBigErn]

 

[Fishpo31]

This sums up my beef with DeBoer.

There’s always going to be other great opportunities out there for great coaches.

But you don’t have 1 foot out the door in year 2 in the middle of a Natty run.

Fuck that guy forever.

It really is mind numbing

The reason you get into the sports business at a high level is to compete and win championships … if you do that the money follows

To torpedo your chances when you get that chance (and there’s no guarantee you’ll ever get that chance again) speaks volumes about your character and priorities

It's beyond the pale of @Mad_Son settlement, even in this fucked up age of college football.

DeBoer had ZERO connection to Bamma or the SEC. [/b]

He was already in a Year 2 CFP/Natty run at a Top 10 to 20 type program about to triple the original salary. And that's not good enough to still around for 4 or 5 years? What the fuck.

I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.

Who were the names in consideration? All Jimmy Sexton guys, every fucking one of them. I've dealt with enough agents to know that if Deboer would have signed that contract at Thanksgiving, he would currently be shopping for a new agent. Football coaches coach football. Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.

IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

You're not in Sioux Falls any more, Toto...

I made mention of being fucked for depth a few times but backed it off because it felt petty as we made the natty run.
Wasn’t ignored just didn’t realize what the fuck was truly transpiring right in front of us.
Helluva salesman. Hope he gets anal chlamydia.

 

[ntxduck]

Let’s hope.

Dannen is a lot of things, but he isn't an idiot.

So far… the weasel thing was pretty stupid though that was only under his watch and not his doing but just like in my real life, one of my subordinates fucks up, I fucked up.

Was the weasel in New Orleans on some kind of parade float and if so, did UW know about it? If it’s something Dannen or his staff knew about and didn’t notice or worse, blessed off on, then they need to get their shit together.

I suspect the Sugar Bowl committee/staff/Madri Gras people did a Google search for UW, found it and had it printed out and stuck it on the float. If that’s the case, that shit is on Cohen for not getting an intern to figure out how to suppress/remove the image from the internet.

As for the Huskie thing, who amongst us hasn’t had a typo before?

The AD should have a pdf with their standard/preferred marketing collateral (images, logos, color shades, font, etc etc) that they’d send out ahead of time to the boel committee.

Let’s just blame ramming on this one

 

[Swaye]

Just posted this on another thread:

My thoughts are, he was somewhat surprised by how many they won, saw that after this year the talent on hand was going to be fucking terrible, his recruiting sucked, but he was winning. He was at the top of the mountain as far as negotiating power, he knew that if he stayed, his stock would plummet. This was literally his Midas moment and he took it! If he didn’t, the next offer would be to a lateral move, not upward. So he jumped at the top! Can’t tell me most of you wouldn’t do the same.

He’s still a fucking scumbag and I hope he get’s herpes of the asshole from the SEC shoving their unwashed, non lubed cocks up his ass. FTG

Pretty close to my read as well. Guy is a winner, but he wasn't going to the Natty next year with his cobbled together crew sans Penix and Rome and a small handful of others. We all for the most part thought regression year to 9 wins or whatever and a year or two retool...

And you are correct a couple 8-10 win years diddling around in the B1G and with terrible recruiting rankings every year, and his NC game magic is well in the rearview. The best moment Boner was ever gonna have for a top 3 CFB HC gig was right this second. And he took it. Fine. Don't hate the player blah blah blah....

It is what it is...I also hope he gets asshole herpes from getting plowed by a train of rabid zombie monkeys.

Was the stadium that much "vice" though? $250 million seems rather cheap looking at what new stadiums run these days, and I would describe it as more of a "need" than a "want".

And UW did it intelligently, building in 2012 when the Residential / Commercial Real Estate was still emerging from the crapper while selecting a developer headed by UW alums who bid aggressively on it. Otherwise UW could have had a gaping sphincter hole like Arizona or Cal.

So when do they start colluding and then getting sued by Sexton?

Colluding would work about as well as it does in baseball…at different points when I was in pro ball, mgmt would red-flag players repped by Boras. Depending on who was in charge, it would change if we were in on a guy or not, based on his agent, and bosses’ relationship with said agent.

I guess the lack of recruiting was a tell that people like me who hate TBSing ignored at our peril.

Who were the names in consideration? All Jimmy Sexton guys, every fucking one of them. I've dealt with enough agents to know that if Deboer would have signed that contract at Thanksgiving, he would currently be shopping for a new agent. Football coaches coach football. Agents make money, for their clients, and for themselves.

Not only did Sexton get Deboer paid, he gets the rest of his stable paid to boot. The average sports agent takes between 4-10%, and I'd bet Jimmy is a LOT closer to 10 than 4. Kalen didn't have an "in" at Bama, but Jimmy did...That's why agents get paid.

IDK about the TBS stuff, but it was (after the fact), and continues to be apparent that it affected Deboer rolling to the end of what was a monumental season. By appearances, he didn't handle it well, at all.

You're not in Sioux Falls any more, Toto...

I wonder if we’ll ever get to a point when universities don’t want to deal with this malarkey anymore.

Probably not at least until the vice of stadium debt is in the rear view mirror.

Was the stadium that much "vice" though? $250 million seems rather cheap looking at what new stadiums run these days, and I would describe it as more of a "need" than a "want".

Need and want are irrelevant. Debt Service is no joke.

You can pry my 2.95% APR 30 year fixed from my cold dead hands, pal!!!

In this case nominal dollars are chimportant. I thought I read that $12-14 Million are owed this year in stadium det service. (I'm open to being corrected).

No joke when the AD budget is in the range of $30+ milly.

This is a year our of date, but still...
