Huard: Who are and aren’t realistic UW Huskies AD candidates
Comments

I think Damon would do well. Fundraising and placing a premium on football is most important.
I’m sure they’ll get another person not from the left coast, so we can have this conversation again in a year or two -
CARE about football and Hire Brandon Roy as basketball coach.
-
Race already made this joke. Yours is a retard redux.
-
Search firms and agents do the hiring.
-
Brock usually has a good opinion
This list is lazy for the most part and doesn’t drive change into the department
You need a REAL AD moving into the Big10 … not someone learning on the job
I’d be OK considering Barnes on that list … everybody else is a fairly hard no for me
-
My list would be:
- Pat Chun
- Scott Barnes
- Allen Greene (think he got a raw deal by being pushed to fire Malzahn and then hiring Harsin right before Covid hit).
- Ed Scott
-
If Damon is somehow hired, Kim's years of jock-sniffing him around his winery will have paid off

Ok let’s recycle through people who don’t care then.

Yes. Fundraising and football. This is what Damon does. He's done it for years with multiple ADs. He's working in the exact position you would want a up-and-coming AD to work in in today's college football. This is not like Lynn Swann who fell up into USC AD after co-owning a failed arena football team in Pittsburgh. Let's not equate the two. This is not a learning on the job type of situation. Damon has been doing that already for years. He works in the UW AD office, fer chrissakes. Damon knows this program and the AD office better than any of these other guys. He will care and he will stay. I can't figure out the logic behind dismissing him. Maybe he's not your first choice, I could probably get behind Barnes or Chun, but Damon should definitely be in the mix.
