My elation at the news has turned to horrified as people I (previously) consider(ed) intelligent keep name-dropping Petersen to be the replacement. I'm way more pro-Petersen than most here as a coach, and I still think he's one of the worst choices to be an AD in the current age. Philosophically he's about as anti-NIL as you can get, and experientially he has never even been an AD before. Get the fuck out of here with that.

This is a major inflection point for the AD. With Cohen's departure, our connection to the Decade of Shame is now fully severed. We can dramatically upgrade (or downgrade) the AD culture with this hire. Let KDB pick the next one, or at a minimum let him heavily vet and sign-off on candidates before putting offers in front of them.
Have you heard anything he's said since he quit? He's not as old fashioned as you think. Sounds like you're basing this on his stuffy responses to questions as coach
You must not have heard him talking about NIL sucking when he was interviewed about the move to the B1G. The guy is a dinosaur at this point.

If someone can pull up a list of former coaches turned AD's, that would be interesting to see.
I don't remember specifics at all, but I know something he said must've gave me the feeling that, while he hates it, he recognizes that it is the reality and everyone who wants to compete has to play along.

Even if it were true, and that's what he was saying, it doesn't make him a good hire or even an acceptable one. Get someone who is all over NIL. I want someone with no qualms about paying teen boys big money. No dinosaurs even if they do pay lip service to changing their philosophy.

This is our second chance at Urban

What does Chris Petersen think of Cohen and UW's administration.

Here's an article today in the Athletic by Bruce Feldman, who works with Petersen on FOX's College Football coverage. No doubt whatsoever this is CP talking:

“USC is lucky to have her,” the source said Monday morning. “A lot of places can’t get out of their own way. If they let her do her thing, she’ll kill it there.

“She is as smooth as she could be. She just gets it. She knows how to solve issues. She reads people so well. She’s tough, has guts, and she’ll do the right thing.”

So ... If they let her do her thing, she’ll kill it there, is Pete referencing:

A. Administrative and booster meddling at USC of which he — and many others who follow college football — are well aware?

B. Upper campus restrictions and/or disinterest at We Are a Fat Lesbo School?

C. Both?

I'm guessing "C" as both USC and UW have been plagued by the kind West Coast leadership fuckery that sunk the Pac-12
