re: Why was Washington so good after 3 straight lackluster seasons before DeBoer?

The Covid year counts now? Interesting.

Bruh if you're having to work this hard to convince yourself your coach is better than Harsin God bless you.

Harsin was a decent coach at Boise St, and sucked at Auburn. DeBoer was great at Washington, and is currently losing recruits and players every single day at Alabama. Funny old life.

an LSU fan seeing that name is like a golfer hearing "shank". should be erased from all vocabulary. Although if not for him i could not have gotten my 50 yd line seats in TS, so i guess continue...

Just like TCU the year before, Washington loaded up on 5 & 6 year covid guys and they beat up on 20-yearolds. That is not a sustainable model. Neither team will play for a tile again in our lifetimes.

Michael Penix, Jr.

Their 3 leading receivers were 2 Jrs and a soph.
Their top 2 tacklers were Srs but they played their entire careers at UW.

Only 1 Sr on the o-line.
Only 1 Sr on the d-line.
4 Sr linebackers, 3 Srs in the secondary, which was clearly their strength on defense, I'll grant that.


Not sure you know what you're talking about.

They had four 6-year players. 3 of them played their entire careers in Seattle.

Fisch will win with this group. I'm guessing when he does it'll be because he's a better coach than DeBoer, though.

Post of the day! Thanks for the laugh

64% of their total team starts were by 5th or 6th-year guys this year.

14 of Washington's 22 starters were in their 5th or 6t year. ( AP article)

Also, their Offense only had 5 starting seniors. 3 OL were sophomores and 3 receivers were 3rd year guys.

---

3 of their primary OL were 5th-year guys that redshirted in 2019 ( Troy Fautanu, Nate Kalepo & Julius Buelow) and one other was a 4th-year guy that got there in 2020 ( Roger Rosengarten).

No Power 5 team in the nation had more 5th & 6th-year dudes than Washington this year.

TCU & Tennessee were among the teams with the most last year, and look how their seasons went compared to this year.

DeBoer isn't replicating that at Bama. Sorry.
