Seattle Times pumping up Cohen's candidacy.

I love his line: "According to sources close to the UW athletic department, Cohen has the support of many influential donors."

What sources? Cohen? Donors that Cohen hand picked for the Times to interview?

What experience does Cohen have in selecting a head football coach for a major college program, something that she will surely have to do some day?

    OMG! I must have missed the memo. When did Phil Knight or T. Boone Pickens switch
    over and are now donating to the UW? Surely the Times MUST be talking about donors
    at that level because otherwise the term influential really shouldn't be used. I really
    didn't read the article so maybe you knowledgeable folks on here could tell me who these
    donors are. If you are talking about piss ants like the horse racing guy,(Crocket is it?), just stop there. Crockett + Cohen=Not a big boy program.

    AD's don't keep their bottles in a desk drawer. They keep them chilled in the office fridge.

    In the world of big boosters across college sports ... Crockett isn't THAT big time.

    We'd be much better off bringing in an AD from another school - somebody that has a proven track record of hiring coaches that have gone in to WIN.

    Simply raising money (which Cohen is probably good at) is only one piece of the puzzle. Cohen has been in the UW cocoon for far too long. Let her prove that she can be an AD at another, lower tier school.

    I'm tired of UW being the place of failed experiments.

    We'd be much better off bringing in DONORS from another school. Folks who have a proven track record of hiring coaches that have gone on to win. Then let them appoint
    the figurehead AD. You know, SEC style. (And Oregon style)

    Has she only worked at UW? I saw a picture of her with the real DJ (Don James) and I got the impression it was early in her career at UW.

    If she's only ever worked at UW, run the fuck away. It's the same thing like hiring Sark. He only really ever worked under Pete Carroll and had no idea how to handle things other than how Carroll did and that was pretty easy following Carroll's second year once he had USC rolling.

    We might as well fucking just remove the interim tag and hire her. We all know that is what's going to happen.

    I said the day Woodward left that Cohen will be the AD.

    I'm surprised you guys are surprised.

    I just like repeating things that have already been said but in a less funny and less intelligent way than the original.
