What DeBoer Is

A very good small-time coach. And by all appearances, an affable fellow who can relate to kids well. Good on him.

I know nothing about his tenure at SD Ag & Mining, other than overall record, but I do know some about small college football. A good scheme, a couple great athletes, can make an outsized difference. Talent at coaching and playing diffuses greatly at that level. If you can concentrate some of that talent, you can win big, at least for a while.

Much has been made of DeBoor championship system, but it sure as hell appears to be a one-phase system.

Maybe DeBoor can transition to a successful big time coach. But the dynamics are very, very different than SDA&M or even Fresno.

The stress fractures are widening. Tick tick tick.
 
He hasn’t lost a game in over a year. Until that happens again he’s a big dick playah . I plan to sling plenty of shit when the time comes but it’ll have to wait.

Agree.
 
I probably won't finally buy into Deboer until he's 40-4.

We suck and seem beat all to shit, and still the W’s keep coming. I hate watching these ugly Dawg shit wins, but beats ugly Dawg shit losses.

Doesn’t he already have more wins against ranked teams at UW than Petersen did?

I exagerate. But if you take out games against WSU, Peterson was like 8-16. Deboer is 5-0.

def he is small time, but he does have odd luck. does not get tight in close games and figures out a way to roll in the mud and get shitty wins.
 
A spicy take - I disagree.

We are outplaying our overall talent level thanks to the QB - WR tandem that DeBoer has brought in / developed. That was his doing - and it has paid dividends.

The rest of our team looks good enough to win when everything is clicking smoothly, but we clearly don't have the depth of say, Oregon.

Next year will tell us quite a bit about how much this year was about catching everything just right. Looking ugly or not, we are the last undefeated team in Pac-12 history.

Will we continue to improve development? can we improve recruiting? will we find another star QB?

This year and last year could have been good, and yet somehow, this could be a Helfrich-esque facade. But i think him bringing in Penix, and having it click shows that DeBoer et al. have a system that can work, and they have a track record of making it work.

This is why I’m not in favor of giving DeBoer a $10M contract until we see what happens next year.

Very much this, petermen always lost these kinds of tight games against shit opponents. Deboner wins them....but we seem to be having a lot of them.

We have to pay him.

Helfrich was an assistant. DeBoer was an a up and comer with HC experience.

I agree though with your take mostly though especially as it relates to depth. We’ve gotta some dudes back in the lineup.
