Jedd Fisch's plan is clear, it just hasn't been executed yet

Why does the UW administration not give a shit about football?
They don't have to. 81 percent of the fan base will excuse anything they do or don't do
The NFL came after James when the pay gap was real. Lude found that money and told gerberding to fuck off

UW fucked the pooch. I won't give them a pass
You have a great coach you keep him. Mike Lude would have
You get what you pay for

After the Oregon win in 2023, I was pissed off about that game, thought DeBoer and Grubb got bailed out by Penix, and wouldn't have given him his 10 mil lifetime contract at that point. Dude bet on himself, December/January he is worth more than a 10/y lifetime contract, and it's just a gamble you lose.

I would have offered 15 million and a cut of the drugs and guns run out of the crew house and a 30 million dollar NIL pool
And he would have signed
Fortune favors the bold

I don't know.
But it's the school I'm stuck with. I'm not gonna start rooting for Oregon or something.
I've personally have fired 3 UW football coaches in my mind, so it's not like we don't share high expectations.

Completely agree that he would have signed and started looking at statue designs.

They bulldozed the old drugs and guns shell house several decade ago.
With shiny new flooring comes respectability.

When I was a young buck, it used to be a coach needed 4 years to build a program. Then it was 3 years, then 2 years and now it's 7 games in.

If he was 4-3 in his first year but took 100% responsibility for everything that was happening then I would have a different impression of him.

So he doesn't get your 1st impression rose which is fine.
Devil's advocate: firing a coach 7 games in (unless they've hit a player or lost to Montana) is fraught with immense risk. More evidence is required before you fire or extend a guy.

I think Dannon realized with horror that Fisch was a used car salesman with a long contract and that helped incite him to bolt for the classy cornfields of Nebraska

 

[DerekJohnson]

DeBoer built a team here

Not really. He hit on the most moral and just and GOAT transfer portal QB of all time and plugged a few other holes. He wasn't here long enough to build something.

4 and 8 to 14 and 0
Come on man. No really. I'm not kidding
If it's so easy then why hasn't Fisch done it
Typical UW attitude.

What DeBoer did here was phenomenal. The best start than any Husky HC has ever had.
Rick had a great start as well with Lambo's guys, but couldn't sustain it.
No one is saying it's easy to achieve what DeBoer did, but he didn't "build" it. He took what was here, hit on a couple portal guys and was an great X's and O's guy.

DeBoer had half the key players heading to the portal but he kept everything together and then added key pieces.

The story is that the entire AD staff hated Dannen and he was also alternating former players with some of the things he was doing.

 

[BleachedAnusDawg]

He would've signed, and in three years that contract would've been completely average for a top-tier coach and everyone is talking about how savvy of a move it was by UW to go big.

 

[Fire_Marshall_Bill]

Fisch has a track record of building something. 2020 and 2021 U of A was awful. They lost to NAU at home. We probably should be 5-2 or 6-1. There's blame to go around. DeBored lost to a SEC punching bag and I laughed. I think he was headed there even if we backed up the Brink's truck. Maybe not. You don't start out offering 12 million a yr. though. That's a hard pill to swallow for some.

I don't think that's an accurate assessment. If Jen hadn't left for USC (which has not gone the way she must have planned), there is a much greater chance DeBoer would have stayed. But she left, DeBoer kept winning, Saban decided to retire, and then DeBoer slow played signing a lucrative extension while using Sexton as his back channel communication with Alabama.
The Lude - James relationship was very different than Cohen - DeBoer and certainly Dannen - DeBoer. Both were military veterans and Lude hired DJ at Kent State. When Lude went to UW, he hired Don James. They had a multi-decade working relationship with mutual respect.

James went to UW first, then lobbied for Lude to come to UW when Joe Kearney stepped down.

Good point, thanks for that clarification. Fisch's ultimate goal may be the NFL if Chun has to hire a new coach in 3 or 4 years, hopefully it is someone with whom he already has a relationship. I would love it for the next coach to be here 10 or more years (I am 99% sure Fisch will not stay a decade).

There's going 7-6 with an over achieving inexperienced team, and there's going 7-6 calling RedZone fucktardness/2QBU against against coug, Rutgers, and IOWA

15 mil. To the guy that just lost to Vandy?

Hot take Kim
7 million to the guy who lost to Rutgers WSU and Iowa?

 

[DerekJohnson]

The losses to Rutgers and Cuog are inexcusable

 

[PostGameOrangeSlices]

Race is off the bandwagon.

 

[Canadawg]

That's what I've been saying. I thought you said it was Rogers fault Race?
