re: Kalen DeBoer is going to be a hot commodity this offseason

Hard to believe that Washington only won 4 games in 2021

What big boys...the NFL? There isn't any major openings in college this offseason and won't be unless Harbaugh leaves Michigan for the NFL

Not only that but Seattle is not exactly the worst place in the world to live

The neckbeard downvoters from southeastern Louisiana couldn’t slap the downvote button any harder

Hate to break it to you, but UDub is a big boy and kickers job.

Why do you presuppose that UW is not in itself a major job?

He wins next Monday, he puts Washington as a player and UW will bump his salary. Plus, Seattle as a place to live is better than all but a handful of places

With UW in the Big 10 he’s already home. They can afford him and they would pay anything to keep him for more of this

His ascent has been absurd. 2 years at Fresno, 2 years at UDub and now he’s playing for a natty

He straight up whooped a far more talented and pretty well coached team last night

Ok, who is the biggest coaching hire UW has had in the last 30 years? Chris Peterson, the coach from Boise State. UW is a good job, but its not Tier 1.

I would stay there, but lets not act like this is OSU, Bama, or USC.

None of which are open, which is the point. Someone next year is going to get to cash in at Florida. I wonder who they will target.

Outside of a retirement or NFL bolt by Harbaugh, that's the only foreseeable coaching lottery ticket on the horizon.

I get what the OP is saying, but I'd pump the brakes a bit on this. Washington won last night because Penix and his WRs looked phenomenal, his O Line was good, and their defense made some nice plays (ie they weren't the worst defense in football, like say LSU).

But that should have been a comfortable 20 point win, and he almost completely pissed it away. No reason for some of the gimmicks they did midway through the second half. Just playing straight up, they had basically broken the Horns and were walking away with the game. Instead, they fricking insulted Texas' pride, which was the only way UT would play hard at that point.
Then, with the game under 4 minutes, DeBoer should have shifted gears and ran the clock. Make them burn their TO's and push the game to a 2 possession lead again, and it's over. Instead he fricked around with pass plays that while if they worked would have been good, ended up stopping the clock for Texas.

Then the last possession was again a disaster. He finally decided to run clock... first play was a toss from the shotgun? That's probably the single play most likely to have a fumble occur. He then ran his RB (who, let's remember, ran the ball 21 times for under 50 yds) 2 more times. That's not going to get a 1st down against a Texas team KNOWING you're running. May as well kneel the ball, not risk a fumble (or, you know, an injury), and burn that clock under 20 seconds. Punt and play prevent for 2 plays, game over.
