re: How many of you think the DeBoer hire was a good one?

I think this hire has a high ceiling potential. He has a great record and has gotten a team to the championship game. And won championships at lower level. Also has done more with lower recruiting classes.

At 49 he is not too young and has potential to stay around for awhile.

However, there are some potential risks. Only a few years coaching in BCS level. How will he do recruiting? How will he manage a larger school? How will he handle adversity? Losses? Boosters?

I don’t think he was a “safe” hire, g
But he was a great hire with potential risk.
