Woodward Sells the Couch

Cook it. They'll make an inside hire after spending six figures on a search firm including a long, drawn out search. 81% sure the new AD will be a female.UWhuskytskeet said:We'll hire the interim AD.

That being said, hiring a football coach is a crap shoot. If this guy is a big football booster type then you give hi a look
Coach has some minor success at a lower major school, gets hired by a big time program and shits the bed and gets fired.
Gets hired by another school right after being fired. No real half brain would have gone for that. Oh, and he sucks. Not 0-12 suck but he sucks
Minor success? 60-26 overall, 34-14 conference, four conference titles, and two BCS bowl wins.
What the fuck is regular success? You realize there is only one Nick Saban and one Urban Meyer right? Even Nick Saban thinks it's FS to compare coaches to Nick Saban.
You're literally losing your shit.
Ty didn't get a fair shake at ND either according to doogs. And he won at Stanford which was tougher than the third rate league WV played in.
I boil things down because doogs need to write volumes of bullshit to cover for losers.
Hope this helps -
You mean national coach of the year at ND Ty? Get your facts straight. Rich Rod sucked at Michigan. Great excuses as always.GreenRiverGatorz said:
Anyone who actually paid attention to the Rodriguez fiasco in Michigan knows he didn't get a fair shake. He was marked from the start, and his spread offense was not a good fit for the big money donors who insisted on a pro-style offense for the Wolverines. There is absolutely no comparison to be had with Willingham's tenure at Notre Dame, where he was a self-inflicted disaster from the beginning.RaceBannon said:

I know you like to boil every situation down to easily digestible comparisons that the lowest common denominators on this board can actually understand, but you're way off base here. Again.

This makes me insanely happy!!!!!!!

Rich Rod sucks and fucked up by not taking advantage of backing into the P12 CG last year.

I know Jen Cohen, Jen Cohen is tuff. But if we hire her we should just finally admit publically that we don't care about winning or changing our bullshit athletic fucking department.
For fucks sake. -
Romar, without the help of your staff, please draw an inbounds play. . . . . . .

If Jen Cohen gets the gig, I will set my season tickets on fucking fire.
She'll set up some ticket special with Doogman and take a cut of the proceeds.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:I know Jen Cohen, Jen Cohen is tuff. But if we hire her we should just finally admit publically that we don't care about winning or changing our bullshit athletic fucking department.

He shit the bed with Michigan. Plain and simple.
There was a foundation there, and he blew up to bring in his own guys and build a run and gun spread offense. He ran off good players ... and even let one big name go to tOSU.
Also, if you look at his time at WVU ... without Pat White he was at best an 8-4 coach.
The Duck is happy to point out Peterman's biggest success was with Moore, but he thinks Rich Rod is all of that.
Rich Rod wanted the hell out of Arizona because he will be fired next year.

I don't believe that's what I said. I said he wouldn't last. 6.9 seconds if you are literal motherfucker, so let me know when the clock starts ticking.digits said:

Pepsi is pretty much dialed in here ... although if Jen Cohen is hired I don't think that we'll even go through the motions of hiring a search firm.
First time ADs really shouldn't be at the UW ... this would be the 2nd straight. This is not a training wheels kind of job.
Hiring Cohen in my mind basically confirms the budget issues that have been rumored in the Athletic Department and really aren't all that shocking given the poor attendance for football this year and basketball the last few years. Since the UW AD has never been supported by having the kind of whale donators that you see so often in the SEC, Big 12, etc., when we're light in Joe Alumni's support, it creates problems. It's a strong indicator in my mind why Romar's got so much job security (when he shouldn't) because we don't have the means in place to cover his buyout.
The joke of the matter in all of this though is that what is needed is an experienced AD that really knows how to mobilize a base and turn around the budget deficit. It takes money to make money.
The other big issue that Pepsi brings up that is 100% true is that the AD needs a strong overhaul, particularly with regard to the marketing of the program as well as in-game presentation. From the surveys that have been sent out this year, it's clear that the AD realizes there is a problem but the general sense is that there aren't a lot of answers or solutions coming from within (and that's not surprising given that they've had to resort to sending out the surveys and that it ever got to that point). It would IMO be very difficult for Cohen to take over the lead spot in the AD and make all the moves necessary given the familiarity and closeness with the program. She may make some changes but it will likely only be a fraction of what is needed and moreover there's always the question of what kind of buy in that she would get from the department as a whole from those that either wanted other people or even the job themselves.
The reality is that the problems in the UW AD start with the current administration as a whole but also extends to the alumni/donor base as well. It's really the #1 priority for the sports programs at this point. -
I expect a downgrade. We are going to hire some transgender bulldyke.
-
One source close to UW said two internal candidates for the job will likely be senior associate athletic directors Jennifer Cohen and Stephanie Remp
We are fucked. -
Rempe should be a non-starter given that she's responsible for men's hoops and the shitshow that that has turned into

Wow. After reading that I'm worried Woodward leaving is going to be a jumping from the frying pan into the fire type situation.Tequilla said:Hiring Cohen in my mind basically confirms the budget issues that have been rumored in the Athletic Department and really aren't all that shocking given the poor attendance for football this year and basketball the last few years.

If money is an issue, is there a viable economical alternative to hiring someone internal? I know we're afraid of UW being anyone's training wheels, but wouldn't it be better to get some hungry, ambitious individual from a smaller school that would at least bring in some fresh ideas?
