Re: Poor Washington.
Based on 2023, UW has every right to go into 2024 feeling like the dominant program in the PNW, but cmon... does anybody really feel that way?

Re: Poor Washington.
Any UW commits/players who had been close to choosing Oregon? If so, I bet Lanning Inc. is already doing its thing.
And no, not once this year have I thought about UW as a dominant program. Kalen DeBoer is a great Xs and Os coach but he didn't build s***. He had one really good year largely with guys who are already there and did little to replenish the cupboard. A "program" is something bigger than one season, built to be good from one year to the next. This year's UW team was pretty good, but Oregon is the far better program with significantly more upside.
UW is a stepping stone.

Re: Poor Washington.
Kalen DeBoer is a very good coach. You don't win the number of close games UW did without being a good game coach. He also brought to town the #1 reason why UW did well over the last 2 years - Penix. So, while I agree UW isn't a dominant program, they are a very good program and DeBoer definitely helped build that.
Living in Seattle area, this week has been crazy regarding UW. Think about the high of playing for a National Championship to the low of losing their head coach today. Plus Seahawks lost Carroll too. Seattle's about to implode.

Re: Poor Washington.
KD left UW in a mile h worse situation then he found it. He literally recruited no one for 2 years. And all the portal guys he took are either off to the nfl, or back in the portal right now. They will be starting Lockie at QB at this rate. You hate to see it lol

Re: Poor Washington.
Really?! He came to UW after a 4-8 Jimmy Lake season. Yeah, he wasn't the best recruiter and they definitely won't be as good next year, but they are way better off now than when KD came.buckmarkduck wrote:KD left UW in a mile h worse situation then he found it.

Re: Poor Washington.
Dear God, what a wonderful week for a Duck fan! Keep it coming!
Stewart Mandel-"From a purely aesthetic standpoint, I much prefer to watch a good spread-rushing offense over a traditional Power-I offense, and Oregon's has been the most fun by far for the past several years. It's fast, its precise, and when Chip Kelly has the right quarterback (Dixon, Masoli) at the helm, the possibility of someone ripping off a 60-yard run exists on nearly every play."

Re: Poor Washington.
I can't say I am happy to see Washington become the new "toilet" as DeBoer dumps them, because that's bad juju/karma/etc. But I can say that I'd rather live in this universal timeline than any other, in regards to the coaching carousal that is occurring right now. This timeline also includes 2008, which was a gloriously hilarious year for huskie football, as well as Oregon's 12-game streak from 2004-2015.

Re: Poor Washington.
Wow. Saw the Stanford DL who is in the portal said he had just checked into his hotel in Seattle for his visit, when the news broke about KD leaving. That sucks for him.
