UW was lucky to hire DeBoer. Cohen, who most here hate, made the hire of a lifetime. The smart money here, myself and you included, liked him a LOT before he even coached a game.
Luckily for UW, Covid + NIL + relaxed transfer rules equaled a reunion with a big Penix gunslinger. Not an advantage any other 1st year UW coaches have had.
Add in legit Petersen upperclassmen and the rest is history.
Not a scenario that often plays out. Add in the fallout after the wheels came off the bus when DeBoer left the way he did, and honestly it could've been a lot worse than what it is now. UW made the best of a very bad situation. Whether the new guy gets back to competing for titles remains to be seen. It wasn't going to be year 1.

Let's keep the roster in mind. Petersen set the table for Lake with his 2019 and 2020 classes yet Lake utterly screwed it up so DeBoer came in, added a few pieces (Penix, DJ, Mohammed) and went on an epic two-year run. The 2021 and 2022 classes were disasters so the 2024 squad was crushed when much remaining talent left after DeBoer did (Brailsford, Kalepo, Mohammed, Buelow, Bernard, Cuevas, Powell, Turner, and Mack). Of those 8 guys who left, 7 or 8 of them were already starters or were going to be in 2024).
This isn't to excuse the staff for the own goals (speed option against WSU with Rogers) and sloppy play (special teams particularly) but it does provide context on the 2024 season.
With that said, Fisch is probably not the guy to get UW back to the playoffs but he and his staff are at least much better recruiters than the previous staff. The ideal scenario is probably that he wins enough in 2025 or 2026 and heads off to the NFL.

If Fisch isn't good enough to get us back to the playoffs, as you said, then how do you reckon he will head off to the NFL after winning 6-8 games a year? Since when does a college coach jettison to the NFL after going 8-5?

Why would anyone willingly leave a $7.5 million a year job to go be a coordinator?

In my experience it usually involves beating a defenseless child on the sidelines during a game
 
Doogs hate winners and love to make excuses for losers. Same as it ever was
DeBoer got lucky.

All the trumpeting about UW and it’s 19-game home win streak fails to account for most of that coming via DeBoer-coached teams and the fact that this years home schedule is downy soft.

And you still predicted losses to Michigan and USC
This place is fucking AIDS and so is the football team
People either think UW should be 14-0, or 0-14.

Mediocrity causing short circuits

people like to say UW should have beaten Rutgers and WSU. But those people don’t admit that USC could be saying the same thing about losing to UW.
The record doesn’t lie. UW sucks.

Underrated point. I stand by USC was like playing us - lot of yards between the 20s but bad red zone plays, shitload of penalties, wouldn't commit to just running the ball, choking at key times. I'd say Apple Cup and USC games are ones that kind of a wash. You won one and lost one in kind of toss ups. Rutgers was an atrocity.

It ultimately depends on how things unfold. If he goes 8-4 or 9-3, maybe a team / owner he has worked with before comes calling (Patriots, Texans, Broncos, Jags, and a few others).

I could see Fisch being like Hafley at Boston College being mediocre at a college head coach job and instead of just doing that forever or getting fired jumping ship for an NFL coordinator position.

yeah but he’s a long way from making that kind of decision. He’s getting paid now.

It was a home game where UW finds a way to win until proven otherwise.

ASU and WSU last year, Michigan and USC this year.

UW finds a way to dig deep at home and get it done. On the road, it's a disaster
