    I firmly believe that if Cohen is hired it is a financial decision first ahead of that of the good of the Athletic Department.

    I don't completely know the inner workings of a AD and University Budget, but a Cohen hire is pure financial. The money available in the AD Budget I suspect is tight. If money can be allocated or moved from a reserve in the general University Budget (which IMO is a very smart way to build a budget is to include funds for contingencies, shortfalls, etc.), then a hire can be made intelligently.

    I'm not sure how much of a hand the new President has had in building the Budget and what time period the Budget is covering (whether academic or calendar year).

    @Lawrence_of_a_Labia, what say you?

    My guess is that the PC President won't have much role in it because people who are smarter and more accomplished than her realized they need to be involved to avoid another Todd TurnerFS.

    I'm fine with giving her a chance but the millisecond there's any p.c. bullshit (ex: a hiring committee including the dean of the tranny studies dept) or just plain stupidity, it's time to go nuts.

    She does seem way less stuffy than most academics, which is a good sign.

    Welcome to 2016, it could be good, it could be bad. Unlikely to be any worse than the Rooney Rule.

    Either way, it'll be interesting.

    Perhaps now that we have a grown up in charge, hiring Cohen is the best result. Hire someone on the cheap and let them just get out of the way and let the grown ups run the football program. AD can go get some stuff done with track, hoops, water polo. Pete hasn't done anything with the actual program thus far that worries me with the way he will run it in the future, unlike Turner, Hedges, etc.

    Now, if we're talking in game and clock issues, yeah, I got some concerns.

    My boss now is a woman. Just not a Subaru lesbian. Can't wait to interview with her.

    You allow yourself to work for a dyke? If she's not fucking hot as balls then you're not a man.

    As alarming as the above photos are, I do want to give her a chance before I condemn her efforts. She can be wacky all she wants as along as she gives proper support to football and makes the right hire.

    Fuck that shit. Homos account for 3% of the population so why the fuck is this country so dead set on hiring and promoting so many gay people into positions of power? There are 245 D1 football programs in the United States. There should be no more than 7.35 fags hired as Athletic Directors. We know Texas is getting at least a third of a homo as their new AD. Why should UW have two dykes runnin the show? I guess I'm gonna have to start rooting for the mooslims. FUCK

    He probably thinks he has real input into the matter.
