Deboer may be considered a “great” offensive mind, but he didn’t call plays for Washington. Its was Ryan Grubbs that called 100% of the plays. Also playing Stanford, Arizona State, Washington, and Tulsa is equivalent to playing Vandy 4 times.

Deboer was a great NAIA coach, but what has he really done in FBS prior to this year? Without Penix have over 400 yards in 5 games they lose 4 games this year. Arizona State held Washington to 1 TD.

No Penix
No Odunze

Let’s look at a few games this year:

Stanford- 3-9- 42-33; was only down 2 points under 2 minutes left in the game.

Arizona State- 3-9- 15-7; ASU held Washington to 1 TD and was winning for 3 quarters.

Washington State- 5-7- 24-21; game was tied less than 6 minutes in game.

Deboer jumped when before he had a season like Dykes. Dykes has TCU in natty, and then follow that up a terrible season. Washington and TCU were very similar seasons. Win a lot of close games, and then lose national championship game. No one heard of Deboer when he was at Fresno State.

Deboer teams never been great at defense, and recruiting. He has never recruited in the south east or even worked in the South East. This had the making of a Harsin 2.0. There will be a power struggle between Deboer and the athletic program and it will cause distractions and Deboer will be gone in less than 3 years.
