On or off. Are you on the Deboer train or off it?

I'm on the train. That said, I've worked at a grocery store for 18 years and my wife is twice the woman I married. I might not be the best person to ask.
 
I suspect DeBoer will find a a way to over perform with what he has. But if he can't land transformational recruits, over-perform turns us into the next Utah which has been drilled to death here - but yeah, without a recruiting turn around 8-10 wins a year, the occasional conf championship game and a bowl game in Vegas or New Mexico.

Think about it. Who expected any of these coaches to be highly successful?

Lambo
Neuheisel
Gilby
Tyrone
Sark
CP
Lake

Ironically, I probably thougth Gilby (12-0) and Lake would do the best out of all these guys, at least in their first year, when they were hired.

It's a crapshoot, keep emotions out of it.

If they don’t pop by year 3 they most likely suck. Kept lambo, Gilby, Tyrone, and sark too long.
 
Just no..
I expect deboer to be just good enough to never get fired but never really getting to the top of the mountain. So I expect this question to be asked every year.
 
I'm an optimistic person so I'm on until proven otherwise.

No reason going through life expecting in advance to be disappointed at everything... unless you're Damoan.
 
I’m guessing the new coach and staff are going to be good coaches and will recruit in the 25-40 range which means middle of the pack W/L records with occasional upset win potential vs power teams

Top programs land a HC with the stature and assistant pool of capital to attract top OC and DC coaches and then continue on to land difference making assistant coaches…. Everyone else is an also ran program fighting for the scraps that remain

Since I wanted to see a result that was better than that, I’m off the bus and in fact want another bus driver.
 
Taking a wait and see approach. I've got my boarding pass in hand but still waiting to board the train for the ride...
 
I'm on. I was on before there was a train...before there was a boner. I was on it before fleenor.

He better do better at unseasonably natties than iffseason ones. So far he sucks.
