The Offseason Natty Thread: Portals, Assistant Coaches, Leopard Jackets, etc.

If Orlondo stays in Canada, likely means he just really didn’t want to go back to CFB, but DeBoer misread his interest.[/b]

If he goes to another CFB program, it means we are cheap fucks and We aren’t going anywhere until Jen Cohen is gone.

In isolation sure, no big deal. Orlondo was quoted recently as prizing "work-life balance", so if he stays in the CFL it's likely that that's just due to him being one of the rare breed of coaches who actually cares about his individual and family well-being.

But contextually that'd be a big fucking failure by Deboner. All signs seem to indicate that we were waiting on Orlondo to decide, and if Deboner wasn't able to get a read or answer from him in that period then he miscalculated terribly and wasted two weeks of other potential assistants going elsewhere, and recruiting defensive prospects.

The only way it’s not a massive fuck up is if he’s got someone else in his pocket that is also a great hire. If it’s Inge it’s a big fuckup. Maybe DeBoner is just being deliberate and wants to give himself every chance to make the right hire, but to me he’s scrambling until proven otherwise. Personally I’d call Daronte Jones today.
 
Even if it is a fuck up… steinauer apparently hates recruiting. Even if he was a pretty decent coordinator we need the entire staff to recruit, especially since Lincoln Riley is apparently doing everything to can to keep Donte Williams at USC. BTP’s defense was always that Williams as co-DC could pick up the recruiting slack for steinauer. Now that’s not a defense anymore.

And it makes sense for a guy who hates recruiting but isn’t good enough to be an nfl coordinator to stay in the cfl especially if he’s enjoying success on the field there.

We saved all this money on the head coach to get great assistants!!!!!!!!

Well if we can't afford great assistants this year its ok because next year is a bumper crop of great assistants!!!!

OK we got a steaming pile of shit again and Huff is back.

We're broke. Hired boner on the cheap and filled out his staff on the cheap

Fooled again

Huff isn’t back … I don’t think

Unless you’re an avid cfl fan or BTP, no one here knew whether Steinauer would be good or not.[/b]

While true, missing out on him if he's good is bad.

Missing out on him even if he's not good is also bad.

Either way we just watched the girl we were flirting with until 1:50am go home without us and will be desperately looking to see if someone responds to our "u up?" spam text.
 
Definitely the thread where we rationalize being sold yet another bill of goods on the program
 
Fatters just said the same on Dawgman. Really disappointing if true. We really are going to have the entire Fresno staff + Junior aren't we?

This is what happens when UW is cheap AF and your head coach doesn't have connections at the P5 level.

This. Just like in recruiting players, who gives a fuck about rankings. It’s about getting the guys you really want. Most of the time they’re ranked high, sometimes not.

Nobody knows if Orlondo is good or not but it’s pretty obvious he was the target. Missing on your targets sucks. Especially if it was just misreading the situation for the past few weeks.

DeBoner seems boring. Yawn.

Do you prefer “Dollar Tree” Tom Herman?

Go get Jeff Choate.

Choate was my favorite Petersen guy the day he showed up at UW. He has a kind of scruffy, tuff yet engaging personality, and showed it was effective at recruiting.

He and kwat sucked really bad this past year. Not sure why you’d want to overpay for him now.

Well, I didn't say that. I was referring to what I thought six years ago.

What he did in one season under Sark means nothing to me though. Zero.

Hard to know how much if that is just Kwat's fault, or even Sark's fault, or just the Texas cultures fault. It might take more than one year to improve the culture of a defense at Texas even if they've been getting tons of overrated 4* and 5* guys for the last few years.

But Choate was a great DL coach and is a great recruiter. What option do we have that is better now that we whiffed on the guy for whom we were waiting 2 weeks?
 
Word on the Discord is Huff is staying as OL coach

Perhaps DeBoer is giving Huff another year to secure Conerly and Brailsford and then showing him the door next offseason if the oline performance doesn’t dramatically improve

I don’t know who but hiring someone currently failing at their job is not the answer.

Any coach involved is at fault. They did dipshit things and got dipshit results. Like when a team is trying to run out the clock let’s play two deep safeties obnoxiously deep. Sound familiar?

The defense gave up leads consistently and just wasn’t very good overall. Sucked at angles and tackling among many other things. They make a ton of money now too so you would have to pay Choate more than he is worth.
 
If he can land Conerly and Vega then it's worth taking a flyer on him. Grubb is supposed to be a a good OL coach so hopefully he can help.
