re: For those of you worried about DeBoer's recruiting ability

He was a successful Harsin to them

Anyone making the Harsin comparison is outing themselves as an idiot. Harsin walked into the group of five equivalent of Alabama and underachieved relative to his predecessor. Many of us pegged that as a losing hire for Auburn from the start. DeBoer came into a program that had just gone 4-8 and had the head coach punch a player on national television. It's not even remotely like Harsin's resume.

Besides, if you look at Washington's recruitment over the years, DeBoer actually did better than most there. This is a mid tier program in an area that is not football first and is far removed from the talent rich states. What you're seeing there is cope from people who are both angry that he left and out of touch with the reality of their program.
