At least Rick took his beatings in years 3 and 4 after his 2nd year success
DeBoer cut and ran.

What exactly do you think hedge funds are?
Programs used to be built around coaches. With some rare exceptions, that's going away. Dannen's job is to build a program that pieces can be plugged into. If we find a great coach that wants to stay, fantastic, but the progam should roll on regardless. I'd rather have something like Michigan than what they hope to replicate at Alabama.
You have a point.
However, nothing has changed with me. When Rick was hired I told a friend the Huskies just hired a kid who will turn my Huskies into poodles, and it happened. I will never get over the charmin soft team he ultimately turned the Huskies into. And being the glutton for punishment I am, I treated myself to a front row seat for that debacle in Miami. A 65-7 thunder fucking of epic proportions. In the old Orange Bowl stadium, a true shit hole. Fuck me running. Still have hate for that fucker over that embarrassment, and for what followed. Gilby, Ty and Owen. JFC. I do believe it's possible the Huskies would have been better off if Rick had bolted earlier, the job would have been more attractive. But that is pure conjecture, and to be fair, he did not hire the idiots who followed him.
Fast forward to 2024. DeBoer was on a 2 year plan, he bolted before we got to see if an implosion was imminent. The way the team has tackled the past two years is not the Husky way. I won't say charmin soft, but it has been weak sauce. No BPE, Odunze, Mac, Polk, DJ, center, Ossai ... etc going forward, it is possible another 65-7 thunder fucking was in the works. It may still be. We'll see. But at least we now have a guy who knows he is in the prove it seat before he gets the chance to bolt. He has rebuilt shit in far worse shape than what he is walking into. He can recruit and he knows how to use the portal. We are in a LIPO situation, but part of me thinks this whole thing may have worked out for the best.
