It's going to take $7-$8 million to keep DeBoer. A million dollar salary raise isn't enough.
That said, Washington has no state income tax and doesn't have the pressure/meddling that comes with a job like A/M.
DeBoer's record, his success at different levels, his offensive chops make him very desirable. ELITE recruiting is still a question mark while offset with he can win and win now with any roster.
Jimbo had a Natty when A&M hired him which matters ALOT in the market place.
DeBoers getting a nice raise, maybe a double.
Don't fuck it up Ana/Denan
That sounds about right.
I like DeBoer and hope he stays, but you also don't want to overspend on retaining him. Too many coaches get a big payday and are later found out to frauds, or rest on their laurels.
As others (and myself) have said on this thread and others, if DeBoer wants to LEAVE! he will LEAVE!
DeBoer is not a fraud. (Recall, I was FIRST and RIGHT[/i][/b])
UW won't be able to slow walk him with a "show me" Natty type accomplishment, hold him off with a promise and expect he sticks around. It sounds good on message boreds but that's not how it works.
His market is higher.
I's easier to win consistently at Bama/SC where resources, bags, and support are abundant than winning 4 Nattys plus a runner up in the NAIA. No resources, no bagman and the radio post game is sponsored by the local burger joint.
It's always a leap of faith. Many in Tuscaloosa are grumbling the game has passed Saban by.
Jimbo. Sumlin.
Brian Kelly has so far been a dud. Ed O. before him.
Kiffen. Sark. Let's go big Dick and give Lincoln $10 per and a grand palace overlooking the Pacific
Willie, Meat, and Danbo (wandering eyes)
Go big or go home. It comes with a price.
DeBoer has the wind at his back. Every other Washington hire, sans James who my Dad (1st) followed by @RaceBannon wanted fired circa 86-88, has been a dud.
It's tim to open the wallet. If he disappoints, that's the price of big boy FB. He's no Hop. I'll die on that hill
