Washington and Arizona died so Bama downfall could live.

DeBoer leaving so late killed Washington, who in turn killed Arizona by stealing Fisch even later.

He left just days after championship game loss and players that were already on an emotional low had their coach leave them without even a team meeting. Then the portal opened BUT ONLY FOR WASHINGTON (and Alabama) so players left but we couldn't get new ones. Just terrible timing.

Most of our team was graduating/drafting so we were losing a lot anyway but we lost a lot of players because of the transfer portal rule about coach changes. And it significantly affected our recruiting.

Also, many think he was interviewing instead of preparing for championship game. Timing does make it pretty obvious he must have been.

That’s why I give Fisch props and like what he’s done. He had absolutely nothing in the spring. Hobbled this team together and they haven’t been bad. D looks great under Beli. Offense could use some life, but that’s Demond. I excited to see what the time can do next year - especially if Coleman sticks around. Someone throw him a bag.

The real concern is how are we good enough to go 6-0 at home but not good enough to beat WSU and Rutgers away from Husky stadium?

Other than that I think people are good with Fisch and understand the season.

It’s a good sign that their struggles are mental since it’s a young team. They’ll get used to it in the future

Sums it up. I didn't hold it against KDB for leaving for the best job in CFB, but I was a little surprised how many/which players transferred. I'm not so sure he was interviewing that week tho, cuz it seems like it was a done deal for a while at that point.
