I put together a survey for fans after Jimmy Lake was fired with all of the primary candidates floated about in the rumor-sphere. It included a 1-10 ranking on how realistic it was that the given candidate would take the job and how excited they would be if UW made the hire. The idea being that the most likely hires would be at the top of the list with the confluence of those two factors.
The name that came out number one? Kalen DeBoer. The fans nailed it.
Now of course Washington is looking to replace Kalen DeBoer and so we have gone through the same exercise again.
