And it is Kalen DeBoer. I would imagine it would be a hard job to turn down. Probably includes a big raise. It also includes the advantages of the "Alabama Brand". That said, I can see lots of good reasons to leave UW. They are going into a new conference, which is going to add considerable stress. Also, the team is losing most of it's "star" players, not just Penix. It will undoubtedly require a bit of a rebuild. Given all that, DeBoer probably figured it was a good time to leave.

I'm sure he'll make more money than Ray Perkins, Bill Curry, Mike DuBose, Dennis Franchione, and Mike Shula received combined for the privilege of having bricks thrown through their windows.
Hope it goes better for him than them. (Actually I don't. Alabama could die on the vine for all I care.) Better to follow the guy who follows the legend, generally. Interesting that they go back to the state of Washington. Oh, it's rollin'
I guess UW joins Notre Dame and Oklahoma as non-destination programs.

UW made it to the CFP CG and yet there are already a number of players that hit the portal just hours after the DeBoer's move.
Just illustrates that in this portal era if your head coach leaves (fired, retires, quits for higher profile job, etc.), you are likely to have a lot of players jump into the portal. It is certainly true for 2-10 type teams and apparently is true for 14-1 teams too.

The new UW coach can recruit you just like all the other coaches will. If he doesn't want you, you certainly need to go elsewhere anyway. Since the UW degree as such means little to you, a degree from anywhere else is just as good.

OTOH on teams that are "successful" and whose coach stays a different set of guys will go into the portal because they know that their playing time in the future will be limited at best. In fact, the coach may want them to go to clear roster spots and told them as much. Either way, it is a "brave new world" out there. This applies to everybody, not just "bad" teams.
