    Cohen was sitting at the kids table for this whole time. These decisions were run by network execs, university presidents, lawyers, and number crunchers.

    AD's are by and large stupider than coaches.

    The decision to hire DeBoer was made by network execs, the president, lawyers, and the school of accounting?

    come on
    She also gets the credit for hiring lake then. And Hopkins.

    Honestly hiring is a crapshoot. Firing is more important and seems like the prez had more to do with canning lake. Jen kept hinting it wasn't over for him.

    These buyouts in the contract for unproven coaches were way over the standard are the problem. Lake and hop are way richer than they ever should have been because of the language in their contract. Not because of how much we pay them. That's on her. She has created the deficit. Can't get good teams scheduled for football. Nobody goes to the games. Those are legit issues.

    I take back 1/2 the bad things I said about her. That’s a lot.

    Jen sucks and kind of embarrasses UW at times, IMO.

    On the other hand you guys (whomever this applies to) are usually results only driven when it comes to your approval of coaches, admin, players, etc. A lot of the shit being flung at her right now is all about the process though: "she lucked into Deboer", "she didn't want to fire Jimmy"...stuff like that. But she did end up with Deboer and did fire Jimmy.

    Just saying.

    DeBoer was a tap in. Not even 2nd choice. He was a great candidate who happened to be available.

    The fact that she carried so much water for Jimmy tells me everything. She's also tone deaf to the negadawg masses and criticizes the fans. The hatred will always flow.
    She deserves credit for DeBeor, tap in or not.

    I will never forgive her role in handing the Pac-12 North to Oregon and her colossal "Are you all-in?" hypocrisy bullshit

    Dirty secret… Crow isn’t that bad to eat but I will say after this move I’ll give her maybe a high five

    Had Jen had her way, Lake would likely still be our coach.
