This video is an interview from last May... there's a lot of great info on his background and the type of person he is (a theme among DeBoer's staff). I watched the video over the course of 3 days since it is an hour long, but it's well worth the time if you want some good insight. And after you've watched it, ask yourself... you think this man will knock it out of the park on the recruiting trail... in the HS football offices and in the living rooms with the moms and dads? I think you'll know 10 minutes in...

Definitely going to give it a watch...

DeBoer's credibility is certaintly up their amoung his peers for him to get two active head coaches. There is no way they'd come here, under this microscope & pressure, if they didn't think they'd excel as coaches.
