Troy Dannen selling couch?
Comments
-
His introductory press conference with Fisch was VERY odd and made me suspect of the guy, but I figured that how the DeBoer shit went down just made me bitter and suspect of everything at that point.
He was wearing an ill-fitting suit and focused on Fisch's wife. Even after his initial comments about making Fisch's wife the "First Lady of Husky Football" went over like a lead balloon, he doubled down and stared at her while making the same joke a second time. Not necessarily in a creepy sense, but in the sense that he thought he had a funny joke and since no one got it he better tell it a second time.
He seemed to have no feel for the room, nor did I get the sense that he understood that the football program was in full panic mode. In that moment, selling the cred for the new football coach was FAR more important than leading the presser with a goofy comment about the new coach's wife. (Regardless of how hot she is).
-
When I first heard he was leaving I thought he accepted a job as lead pit boss at the muckleshoot.
This is why you don’t hire a bald. -
This wasn't about DEI.
Dannen just wanted to get back to a corn state near his corn loving family.
-
There is definitely something rotten about the sports programs here at University of Washington. And no, it's not politics, I'm not a dumbass rube who believes that. If you think it's "vibe" based like that than you are a dumbass.
-
I don't buy that either. You think Bill Fleenor and the old Seattle money boosters give a shit about DEI?
-
After a day of reading about this, I've come to 3 conclusions.
1- it's a bad look for UW
2- The biggest reason Dannen left seems to be that Nebraska was willing to DOUBLE his fucking salary (and he's closer to home)
3- No one in the UW athletic dept circles is sad to see this guy go and many have said he truly sucked behind the scenes and UW is averting a major disaster down the line by losing him.
-
I am not losing any sleep over him going to Nebraska. He was here for a hot second and didn't have time to get alot done. I think he was being pushed out, you know, because Pete Carroll has shown interest as AD...wink wink
-
II was hoping for Belichick but I'd could live with Carroll.
-
I think we should hire TheClapp. This guy is a master at deciphering compensation packages and has my complete confidence!
-
Has Lorenzo Romar or Damon Huard been named as AD yet?
-
What does an AD do that matters besides fluffing boosters and making 1 critical hire every 3-X years? The other hardest thing was the stadium renovation which pool boy already took care of.
Romar and Huard can probably sell better than a fat bald corn dumbfuck and Jen Cohen.
-
If you don't think him leaving is a big deal then hiring him in the first place should be a bigger issue. Either way it's an embarrassment
-
It's a major public university in a large West Coast city. It goes without saying that best case scenario: it's cumbersome and time draining.
-
If we're going down that path then we should listen to @YellowSnow in the other thread and make Mike Callahan AD. He's done more for WASHINGTON than those 2 jabronis combined
-
Hiring him in the first place was clearly the main issue and that is what amc is being knocked for.
But again it was her that killed the Pac and she presided over getting Fisch so you have to take that into account too.
These AD's are fucking flufftards outside of one critical situation sorry if that offends anyone.
Dannen didn't fuck it up and hire the K-State coach. Yay, here's 4 million plus incentives! Christ. Nebraska is fucking stupid.
-
Desperation makes you do stupid things. There are still enough people alive who remember when Nebraska was actually good at football and think they can get back to that level.
-
He wasn't on their initial list of candidates which is why the Adidas tin foil hat shit is going on.
Because he really didn't do anything spectacular at UW. A 25-3 coach left on his watch and UCLA could have acquired Fisch in December and completely fucked that up.
-
I agree he did nothing at UW to earn that job, but his resume from Tulane is still fresh and that was good enough for UW to want him.

There were tweets with him down in the desert. This is very likely true. King5 got an interview with him at the airport. He basically said he was going back home. Also stated his wife and kids never made it up here full time. I'm guessing Mrs. Dannen is not a fan of the PNW. I didn't really read this whole thread. If as @haie says the job is mostly fluffing boosters, I'd love to throw my hat in the ring. @chuck can I use you as a reference?
-
Sounds like @pblood40 needs to start charging 10.95 from his shithole in Albany…
-
I mean, could he just not finish out the last 3 holes, go have a few drinks and quit later? Was Lincoln going some place that he had to run out so fast?
-
It is true.
I told you guys yesteday in the other thread.
-
Huh. Somehow none of these details came up 'in the other thread'. Weird.
Can you just go back to the Tug and resume your crying about not being able to sell as many vacuum cleaners this quarter? Thanks.
-
I’ve sold a shit ton of vacuum cleaners this quarter👍
-
Your version of HHusky's routine is just fucking sad man.
-
you bragging your ass off about a degree you earned almost 15 years ago on an internet sports message board is just fucking sad man.
You do your thing in suburban Vancouver, little guy. I’ll do my thing up here👍 -
I don't brag about it though. I just shit on yours. Sounds like you need to learn difference.
I've never explicitly stated where I live but it isn't the quook refuge known as Vantucky.
So, do you work at a place like Valve in Bellevue? Oh, you don't? Alright then, you can go ahead and shut the fuck up.
Fucking 1970's quook on a rival's message board because yours can't come up with shit. Sit the fuck down.
-
Did those same "many people" also lobby for Willingham to get a fourth year? (Not a rhetorical question.)
-
I don’t think those “many people” are still around
