It's ok to admit the pearl clutching over not landing Campbell because of the "optics" was idiotic.
It's also OK to be unhappy with an admin that can't land their top targets, fuck up the process, but then luck into a discount hire.
Deboner was 4th on the list...massively behind Campbell. We shrivel dicked the hiring process and did very typical UW upper campus shit.
The fact the Deboner might turn out to be the better hire is a massive indictment against the admin not for it.
Some Deboner fans can't seem to separate the results from the process or admin from coaching staff.
I get what you're saying, but putting the two side by side it was obvious Deboer better.
It was fucking annoying reacting like scorned lovers over Campbell, when he wasn't it.
I'm saying our process and administration sucks. It's literally been my same message forever and yet, some have trouble distinguishing that from hating the Deboner hire. At least they fired Jimmy I guess but it was obvious they hadn't done much thinking beyond that immediate need.
I've been team LIPO for Deboner and still am until that defense does anything. It's a crapshoot indeed but there's still different shades of crap.
