Gun to my head I'd say Clawson does better at UW than Lincoln Riley.1to392831weretaken said:
Would you actually want Lincoln Riley here? My hope is that they didn't call him because they didn't want to give $100 million to a guy who's never coached a competent defense in his life.Baseman said:
No problem reaching out to Fickell and Aranada. Why not Lincoln Riley? Take his tempature. Didn't happen. Find the infatuation with Clawson and Campbell disturbing. Both perceived as doing less with more. Jen gets lost in the weeds with gimmicks rather than basics.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Baseman said:The hope list, and first calls went to:
Fickell and Aranda. A Big-10 assistant sent me a text that UW offered Fickell $7M for 7. Clearly his source was Fickell's agent whose agency also rep's said assistant. When word leaks that early, the agent has floated the offer, making a market for his guy. When this happens, Next. No harm no foul. Aranda was also contacted and immediately shut them down.
Jen's first choice was Clawson. She saw him as the CFB Billy Beane, a coach who could build a program without NIL and win by out scheming opponents, Pete?. Moneyball was a cute story but last I checked the A's can't win the big one. Moreover, they're a shit home draw. Right there, that tells you the mindset. "More" with less. Overachieve and overcharge at the gate, draw em in with fancy light shows, purple smoke and a game-break playlist that screams a Nickelback track lurks somewhere in the shuffle.
Jen thought Clawson was in only to learn his wife tubed the deal. Anyone who ever sold for a living understands when the prospect says they have to check with the wife, the deal is dead.
Next, Campbell. He beat Oregon! Less is more. Feel good guy. And so on so forth. Yes, again Jen thought Campbell was in. The courtship drug on and Jen was clearly played. Cucked, more like it.
Meanwhile DeBoner, with the most promising pedigree of the above, IMO, lingered and we got a coach.
This isn't that bad of a coaching search for the AD to have ran. All names would have been good to great except for Campbell, IMO
@DerekJohnson knows deets
Maybe it happened by accident and only because she failed with her first choices, but isn't what happened pretty much ideal? Making a coach actually earn it on the field before mortgaging the AD to pay him?
Riley is only coaching at schools that drop big bags in NIL -
We've gone from we? didn't want Matt Campbell to we didn't want Lincoln Riley? It's a bit much.1to392831weretaken said:

This. Jen acted small time and got treated small time.Baseman said:
You make the call, see if he's interested and if so, his number. If nothing else, it helps determine the market. Whatever. Jen is small time. She worries more about game day experience instead of the product on the field. The students didn't suddenly pack the stands and make noise to hear Party in the USA. The team entered Saturday night 3-0 and is fun to watch. Amazing how this attracts fans and keeps them in the seats.1to392831weretaken said:

It wasn't the W or L in the coaching hire. It was the sloppy offense full of personal fouls, illegal motions, and offsides penalties.

It was cool when Stoops seemed to be a possibility. That would've been the most surprising and intriguing hire in my memory.PostGameOrangeSlices said:dtd said:

Speaking of surprising hires, who would have connected Riley to any openings before we heard about it in the news? I mean who among fans, not athletic departments. It was part of Cohen's job to know. I'd venture that nobody here thought of him though, so there never was a WDWHA movement. -
Have to say this is my proudest moment in my early HardcoreHusky career (compared to most of you losers). Getting tagged in a post about the cancer that is our AD is something I didn’t see coming so soon. Honored to be here, hope they take my suggestions for the PPatch name (I call it THE ZONE, ILTCIT).FireHisAssNOW said:@FireCohen

Also hearing Jen is firmly in Will Conroy's corner should Hop go back to Syracuse when Boeheim retires.

Yes, one of the things that bothers me about Jen is that she will make public statements like "money is no object", when in fact it is very much an issue. Just like when she asks the public "Are you all in?" but she isn't willing to try to go BIG TIME. She can get Nordstrom family members to buy out Jimmy for $10 million but she can't/won't try to utilize them to go big time.Baseman said:

The one thing I'll say in Jen's defense is that I would have been very happy with Aranda, even though there was little to no chance. And she did try to reach out to him.
All that being said, I'm on the verge of being thrilled that DeBoer is here. -
I'm no fan of Jen Cohen, but how is that specifically her fault and a fireable offense?whlinder said:Jen got blindsided that USC and UCLA went to the B1G.
That alone is a fireable offense. -
