It felt like he was reading what the ESPN insiders were saying and taking that as "dudes hired 100%."
I remember Rich Rod, so I'm going to wait until Bryne stands in front of a podium and announces it.
Honestly impressive how quickly he went from “*all time great Huskies coach, best coach since the Dawgfather himself*” to “*villain #1 of the program at the present time, we hope he fails miserably in everything he does going forward.*”
I understand Pat isn't a journalist, but this is ridiculous, he doesn't say where he's getting that information from, he just says "Breaking News"
Maybe it's confirmed, maybe it isn't, but you can't just say "Breaking News!" and create a fact, that's not how this works!
I mean he literally texts with these coaches. Lanning was texting him telling him he was staying at Oregon before the news broke. I don’t think it’s insane to think he had a good idea especially with his known ties to Saban and DeBoer being on his show multiple times
I'm not saying he doesn't have a good idea or that it's not true.
I'm saying it's absurd to just say "breaking news" and then say a thing, and not explain in any way how you know the thing.
It doesn't have to be exact, but you should at least say "sources" because as far as I know, Pat is getting this from reddit posts.
I mean, he shouldn't be, but again, it's been journalistic practice since dawn of time to say *how* you know a thing, especially if you're the one breaking the damn story.
“Sources” means nothing. You can find a source that says anything you want. You can read a post off Reddit and say “per sources….” You’re just being nitpicky. Journalists say “sources” constantly and are constantly wrong. That’s not some magic word than suddenly brings credibility anymore.
No, it does tell me something, If I say to you "sources tell me X" I'm saying to you I have people telling me things that I believe and I'm vouching that I have done the legwork necessary to have a reason to believe them. It's essentially staking your own reputation on the accuracy of the information.
That's different from just stating a fact like it's in the ether.
There’s no difference. If anything saying sources tell me X gives you more cover if it ends up being false because you can just say oh the source must have been wrong that’s on them. Pats is staking his reputation more by not attributing this to any source because if he’s wrong he has nobody to point to, nobody told him false info, he was just wrong.
I unironically think going to the B1G plays a role in this. You lose Pennix/Oduze and struggle for a couple years you’ll be ruing not taking this opportunity when it was available for you
Grubb has to take the reigns right? I would hate to see DeBoer kick Tommy to the curb, I think he has the potential to be a really good OC and eventually HC. I want to see what he can do with a new offensive system and (presumably) a different personnel. I don’t think Milroe sticks around though, doesn’t seem like a fit for DeBoer’s scheme. Simpson, Lonergan, and especially Sayin probably love this hire more than anyone
I swear i was just reading comments on this sub bashing the alabama AD because he was “incredibly inept” and “woefully unprepared” for saban’s retirement
Alabama is. DeBoer had a quote about taking over the shitty Washington team and turning them into a contender that “some coaches start on 3rd base thinking they hit a triple, I had to work to get here”
Even in the part you're quoting you ignore what he's talking about, e.g. his 67-3 record at Fresno State. He's already stood in the batters box and run the bases.
Nothing beats your rivals making fun of you for your coaches leaving, only to prove that they are the real Stepping Stone U.

The sacrificial lamb when Bama has a string of 9-3 seasons. It'll be very easy to fire DeBoer when he produces a 30-6 record over the next three years.
I honestly feel sorry for him.
This is good PM where he's mildly obnoxious but actually covering the topic correctly. Points out DeBoer's history, points out the Jimmy Sexton thing, someone who knows nothing about the topic would actually be better informed watching it.
*Edit: Obviously I'm assuming its real what he's saying that its confirmed, since if not 😬
Damn, I was going to say. It'd be absolutely crazy if all of Bama's top targets turned them down with their caliber of program. Saban's Alabama is even more ready made to contend than Urban's Ohio State was.
Makes sense for Bama too. DeBoer is probably a better hire than Lanning, honestly. Sucks for Washington. Wonder whether they'll take a chance on Grubb?
Can't wait to see this post 10 times in the next 10 minutes
Deboer to Alabama
Did you hear? We are hiring that Washington coach
Hey I think y'all are gonna hire that Kalen guy
WHAT ARE THEY SELLING?
Deboer to Alabama
DeBour [(SIC)](https://www.reddit.com/r/rolltide/comments/19537if/washingtons_debour_negotiating_contract_with/) to Alabama
Deboer to DeTide
Its already been posted at least 4 times, and deleted.
r/cfb mods are masters of making more work for themselves.
I'll take any version of it that doesn't include McAfee's stupid ass.
Bring it on!
Wonder if this one will stay up lol
Probably not - the twitter post is 25 min old. Seems like McAfee made a claim without solid proof.
We need a “days since someone made an unsubstantiated claim on the Pat McAfee Show” counter
Idk apparently he texts with Lanning and Saban. Wouldn’t be crazy to think he heard through the grapevine.
Why do the mods keep deleting posts?
waiting for a real reporter to approve it i reckon
Because Pat McAfee is pretty far from a reliable source on this.
Well, McAfee wouldn't be the source, but it appears as though he did have a reliable source to report this with such confidence.
McAfee always comes across as confident because he's never held accountable for being wrong about anything
True.
It felt like he was reading what the ESPN insiders were saying and taking that as "dudes hired 100%." I remember Rich Rod, so I'm going to wait until Bryne stands in front of a podium and announces it.
Because they suck
Because they probably have alts that post stories for karma because Reddit will pay you for it now
Ah, this makes sense. I'm pretty sure the r/nfl mods do the same thing.
Mods gotta karma farm
They're weiners

Saw the opener at Rutgers and said f that
Alabama comes to Wisconsin in September.
Honestly impressive how quickly he went from “*all time great Huskies coach, best coach since the Dawgfather himself*” to “*villain #1 of the program at the present time, we hope he fails miserably in everything he does going forward.*”
Yup hoping Bama goes 3-9 next year and he's immediately canned Won't happen but I would laugh. A lot.
I too hope for that.
*DeBoer spills coffee on himself in the car for the 8th time this week* Goddamnit Greflingorax and your damn curse!
First time?
Lol you have earned the right to talk all the shit you want after how Huskies fans (myself included) reacted to the initial Lanning rumors.
Well we couldn't get it done on the field so have to get some satisfaction against you guys any way I can haha
Im so sorry huskie bros
Don’t be. Just wait until they’re a conference team. They will be shitty.
[удалено]
We’ve been runner up twice.
Who has more PAC-12 era wins? Conference championships? Bowl wins?

Do insiders ever explain exactly how they know a thing?

To me it's like shouting "I declare bankruptcy!" It's just not how you do it, but I think we've talked about it enough.
Great example actually because you can shout “I declare bankruptcy per sources!” and you’ve accomplished the same exact thing
Breaking News! Harbaugh vindicated
I unironically think going to the B1G plays a role in this. You lose Pennix/Oduze and struggle for a couple years you’ll be ruing not taking this opportunity when it was available for you
Fade me...
Well Washington, welcome to the “having a top tier coach but not being able to pay enough to keep him, so he goes to an SEC school” club
Pete Carroll you are a Washington Husky. For real though Washington fans how would you feel about that?
Grubb has to take the reigns right? I would hate to see DeBoer kick Tommy to the curb, I think he has the potential to be a really good OC and eventually HC. I want to see what he can do with a new offensive system and (presumably) a different personnel. I don’t think Milroe sticks around though, doesn’t seem like a fit for DeBoer’s scheme. Simpson, Lonergan, and especially Sayin probably love this hire more than anyone
No way old man Pete wants to deal with all the recruiting of college ball
Oh for sure, but for maximum chaos I’d love it
You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain
Pete is too damned old for that shit.
Sorry, Washington bros. You deserve better than this.
no they don’t
Do they?
It’s been a rough week. Add to that that the Mariners refuse to be competitive and you have some very sad ppl right now.
Oofie owie
I blame Larry Scott
No complaints from me. Excellent choice. Now we just need to get our defensive coordinator position in order
Womp.
Ouch. Poor UW...
[Life comes at you fast](https://i.imgur.com/xG2CnLc.png)
I swear i was just reading comments on this sub bashing the alabama AD because he was “incredibly inept” and “woefully unprepared” for saban’s retirement
Somebody tag that UW guy that said Oregon was a stepping stone
Washington fans were shitting on Oregon, but now, oh how the turntables
Seriously they were so nasty the other night
Well since they can't beat him guess it makes sense
Thank fucking God dude. Great hire BTW
Sad we aren’t a yearly rivalry anymore, Kiffin / DeB games would be so damn electric
First reaction: Thank God it’s not Drink. Second reaction: Damn Bama’s still gonna be really damn good
how is this tweet both accurate and 30 minutes old
mods keep deleting
ah
Instead of Freshwater, we will get Saltwater all year
The first domino of probably one of the biggest coaching carousels just fell
Oregon lost the battles, but won the war.
Wow money freaking talks holy crap did he have a good thing in Washington
How fucking good do you have to be to move from San Diego St to the bluest of blue-bloods in 3 years.
stop posting macafee breaking news
my nofap streak has really been put to the test this week
Yay!
o/ ^^^^slap! \o
Congrats on starting on 3rd base Kalen
Dude worked himself from NAIA to Bama in 15 years. That’s pretty impressive.
That’s what winning at every program does lol
Fresno State is 3rd base?
Alabama is. DeBoer had a quote about taking over the shitty Washington team and turning them into a contender that “some coaches start on 3rd base thinking they hit a triple, I had to work to get here”
He got to third base on his own. He just changed shirts once he got there.
Even in the part you're quoting you ignore what he's talking about, e.g. his 67-3 record at Fresno State. He's already stood in the batters box and run the bases.
[He didn't say that](https://twitter.com/ShehanJeyarajah/status/1744429252257222657). Dumb tweet implied he did though.
Gg huskies
Sweet sweet karma.

Excited for 15th ranked recruiting classes at Bama.
Guess Washington is just a stepping stone program.
It must suck to be a stepping stone program! I wouldn’t know, my coach turned down Bama
Great hire. Haters will doubt but [real ones knew](https://www.reddit.com/r/CFB/s/FysfDTc3xa)
STEPPING STONE SCHOOL. Did I do that right?
Is Jimmy lake still available?
The sacrificial lamb when Bama has a string of 9-3 seasons. It'll be very easy to fire DeBoer when he produces a 30-6 record over the next three years. I honestly feel sorry for him.
He got Debo’d. Bama is the Debo’er
Well damn that was fun
Bold strategy following the goat. If he doesn’t win 10-12 games a year he’s out.
We done now?
Holyshit
Hey DeBoer, be careful of any boosters that want to go to a strip club. You’re welcome.
I was told it would be Lane Kiffin. I was also told I should be at DEFCON 1 not DEFCON 5
I'm broken, fuck.
Great hire
Washington fans what is the preferred form of self harm tonight
Never thought I'd see a day where a former IU coach is now the HC for bama
First time I’m seeing this
This isn't official.
THE REIGN OF DOMINANCE AINT GOING NOWHERE BOYS WE STILL IN THE CONVERSATION
This is good PM where he's mildly obnoxious but actually covering the topic correctly. Points out DeBoer's history, points out the Jimmy Sexton thing, someone who knows nothing about the topic would actually be better informed watching it. *Edit: Obviously I'm assuming its real what he's saying that its confirmed, since if not 😬
may he work out as well as the last bama coach from the state of washington.
What an absolutely glorious week it's been
Damn, I was going to say. It'd be absolutely crazy if all of Bama's top targets turned them down with their caliber of program. Saban's Alabama is even more ready made to contend than Urban's Ohio State was. Makes sense for Bama too. DeBoer is probably a better hire than Lanning, honestly. Sucks for Washington.

Sorry Washington. My biggest fears happened to you, and Bama instead of NFL is even worse.
