There are several people on here who are kinda the leaders of this board that have been relatively quiet regarding this hire. Would love to know y'all's opinion on the hire as well as the general feel of the hire within the football program.
For me, it's just like those first few days after Oats was announced. I knew of his team. I'd seen them in the tourney and a game or two here and there. I didn't know anything about his staff other than from a distance.
I knew who Fresno State was when DeBoer was there. I didn't know anything about the staff. When he was hired at UW I realized, "oh, that guy." But I still didn't know a lot about him or his staff other than watching UW play a few times this past two years.
When his name popped up and developed so quickly this past few days it was another, "oh, that guy."
I knew of his NAIA titles. I didn't know UW was 10-1 against ranked opponents the last two years.
I knew he had a hell of a record, but didn't know it was 104-12.
To answer your question? I'm just beginning to learn about these guys. So far, I like what I see. Quite a bit, in fact.
There's a post in one of these threads where I gave Brandon a link to Twitter with an analyst breaking down CKD's passing routes and schemes. I've watched some game highlights and you can see how he schemes his receivers open but they are given a lot of leeway to find the open areas. There are "Sark-like" tendencies in his scheme.
