DeBoer was an impressive 7-2 against ranked opponents

while at Washington

The seven wins were by 3, 3, 3, 3, 6, 7, and 7 points.

Literally every win was by a single score. This guy could be great, but he could also have just been lucky as shite for two seasons. He’s a few bounces of the ball from being an 8-4 type PAC12 coach you’d never heard of.

I am guessing Auburn would have never hired the guy

I would hope not after the Harsin gamble/debacle. Not to say your results will be the same. Not an indictment on DeBoer, just not a road I have any interest of getting dragged down again.

I promise you he had less talent than at least half of those teams he went 7-2 against.

Just an awful hire. Bama is the new Tennessee.

Alabama would not have offered Freeze the job if he would have agreed to take it for free.

Winning close games against ranked teams points to him being a good coach

Washington was good but they aren’t talent laden like some SEC team

Give him Alabama talent and those close wins turn to blowouts

With only 2 years at a Pac 12 program. I would be very nervous. Also Recruiting in the 20s. I would be scared shitless.

He a good coach and would be very successful there. Unfortunately, the fan base is going to start demanding his head when they don’t win a title in the first two years. Then they will get him fired after year 3 or 4.

Unfortunately, we'll never know how Harsin might have turned out if he had actually been given a chance to succeed.

Here's an interesting article:
