The meaning of silence

Look at Deboor's career track, Doogs. It's not solely about money, he's been moving up and up and up his whole career. If any of this surprises you, Dwagman is you're speed.

He's left 100% of his division 1 head coaching jobs after 2 years. Is that the track record we should be looking at?

No. He's head coach of a tier 1 D1 program that happens to be where his D goes to school and located in a great city (Tug naysayers notwithstanding). Expectations are reasonable here and he just bought a boat load of credibility and benefit of the doubt.

Unless he's one of these Jimmy Johnson, hell bent for leather, uber competitive, has to reach the summit of Everest type A people, he's in a really nice spot. Could never figure out where Petersen found all the stress. Yes, there are expectations. But they are very reasonable.

Petersen is the guy in the office who gets stressed out regardless if it’s warranted. It’s all self imposed.
 
Imagine blowing up a cushy Pac-10 for the higher stakes of the B1G, but then refusing to meet your rock star football coach's desires to compete without one hand tied behind his back when it comes to NIL.

Too be fair, that does sound like something UW would do

Lanning and Norvell have publicly come out and said they’re not taking the job. DeBoer has not.

Both of those guys have contract extensions they’re happy with.

Deboer does not.

Jimmy Sexton is the source of the Simon and Garfunkel treatment.

He’s been the source of the silent treatment between Deboer and your feckless AD for a month.

If he's leaving please don't go on local radio. I get it not turning down Bama, but I don't want to hear it.

I plan on taking a bath while holding my radio above the water tomorrow morning, just in case.

Why wait until tomorrow?

It is a personality trait, and I speak from experience...IF he is this guy, he started out at the lowest level (other than JUCO), with no respect, little money and resources. There is no path from there to where he is now, he had to cut the path with a machete. I worked for a guy like that, and became a guy like that, i.e., always striving to get to the "next". it's a rigged game...there are never enough wins, and one loss is too many. It is what drives you.

You don't take time to celebrate the wins, because you are after the next one. Losses are failures, they live with you, and you constantly re-evaluate everything you do to try to find the weakness. Regardless of outside expectations, the self-induced expectations supersede everything else. It is why guys burn out, and it's why guys leave great jobs for "the next"...

Silence is not golden in this case

Why not?

DeBoer is milking UW for every penny and he absolutely should. And UW needs to pay him that plus 5% on top of that.

If A&M can spend 100 million to fire Jimbo, UW can take care of the man who almost won the natty in year 2

In the past I would think Deboer would take that job in two seconds. But Bama is now playing in a conference with about 5-6 schools who have bigger nil coffers and they have outsized expectations to say the least. That’s why Saban was so public about all the shit with A&M and was begging his boosters for cash. They can’t drop bags like they used to. The price of poker is now too high for a backwater state with jack shit for an economy. I don’t think Bama can money whip Deboer on salary alone so the only real draw is ego. He doesn’t seem the type for it but you just don’t ever know.

I’ve never liked one thing you’ve said until now. Congrats.
