Everyone is a risk

They hired a coach who is known as a great coach and just won a game in the college football playoff. There’s not a lot of those to choose from.

But it’s like you guys think Alabama didn’t discuss these things with DeBoer. “Hey. We would LOVE to have you here, but we need to discuss X,y,z.” You think if they didn’t like their answer they would have hired him?

DeBoer isn’t paying the recruits. The guys paying him are. So they will continue to recruit if they want to. That’s how it works. Unless DeBoer is a complete failure and refuses to recruit, they will be fine.

Disagree with this part. He is very much an unknown. He has coached a total of 3.5 years as a head coach so far. No, I don't count little league.

He did poor year 1(covid year). Then had a decent year and left. Goes to Wash and has a decent year in year 1, then has an amazing year(the only one) and leaves.

I don't consider that resume a known great coach. Would be like calling Orgeron a known great coach after 2019. Guy catches lightening in bottle with Penix. Maybe he can sustain it, maybe not.

But Washington was going to suck bad next year with all the players they are losing. And if he stayed, nobody would want to hire him.
