Deboer is an absolute slam dunk hire in retrospect

So many hot names in the coaching world currently being mostly flops at their new destination, DeBoer is straight up killing it and doing EVERYTHING he can to succeed here. The difference between wins and losses now is just athletes and play calls. We got the jimmies and joes (minus the quality line depth tho) and a top tier staff and players that fit the system.

Yeah he hasn’t won anything yet but shite, Kirby hasn’t won a damn thing outside of some meaningless, hollow SECCGs either since 2022. Greg Byrne was cookin. Very glad to have DeBoer here and he seems to have acclimated the southeast pretty well.

Kiffin would have been a disaster.
Lanning not doing so hot.
That FSU hc is terrible.
And the other usual suspects would have been horrible hires.

Start contributing to the program, because Texas is going to come hot and heavy with a bag after this season.

Kirby should cut Todd Monken a check every year.

Glad people are finally realizing this. I say it all the time, he didn't inherit a lambo like everyone was misled to believe. He inherited remnants of a team that was one play away from going 8-4. And when I say "remnants", I mean he didn't inherit a single skill player from the previous season. No Downs, Kool-Aid, Burton, Bond, Turner, Key, Latham, Eboigbe, Arnold, etc. I mean, the top three players on his 2024 roster were two Washington transfers and a true freshman.

It was stupid to think he could take the leftovers of that 2023 squad and win 40-0 every week.

Watching Penn State, Michigan, USC, Oregon, Aggies, LSU all shite the bed...yes it does appear we made one of the best hires.

I don't see KDB leaving for a bag. They all make so much money anyway. We have some financial disadvantages...but he's still thehead ball coach of the greatest program in the history of the sport.

That'd be hard to walk away from.

Franchione (RIP) did it...but he saw how bad it was about to get. And I'm sure he lived to regret it anyway.

I was one of the few defending Greg. Man always wanted to hire Deboer. I was right about Lanning and Dabo as well. I still day Jim Leonhard and Vince Kehres should've gotten looks but Bama is allergic to hiring assistant coaches to be hc.

Then Greg will hire another great coach out of nowhere.

Greg has done a tremendous job, but I don't know who this person is. We have, I think, one of the best coaches in the game right now. I would really like to keep him.
