If she truly loves football and will do right by our program then great.
If we still see the same old approach as Woodward and Turner then it will be very disappointing.
I feel the same way. I know she really cares about football and gets that it is most important.
What I am worried about is that she won't make the changes necessary to improve athletics (Marketing, engagement with fan base, understanding the fan base, etc.)
She would have to prove some stuff right away and show a difference from what we've seen for 20+ years. I think she has what it takes to be a good AD, I just don't know if she'll do what is necessary.
Just like anyone else, she sucks until proven otherwise. Prove to me that you want an elite program and I might consider getting season tix and supporting the program again. Otherwise... Roll Tide and fuck off!

I'd feel much better about the hire if she had direct experience as an AD with some kind of track record. She doesn't have that.
I do get the impression that the AD is trying to solve some of the problems. I question whether or not they currently have the right brain power in place to actually execute a strategy to mitigate.
By all accounts she cares and I think that as a result is that she's going to work harder in the role than perhaps some others that we've had. The biggest concern that I have is that she will be in a position where she's learning on the job. She'll make mistakes and the big question to me is whether or not she'll be in over her head long-term or whether she'll rise to the occasion by learning on the job.
I only like this move if we can then ship her off to USC as a plant, and then truly fuck over their football team with an increased focus on Woman's Softball.
Fuck that, she's a much worse hire than Hedges. Hedges was a PC hire but at least she was the best available female AD candidate on the West Coast. Cohen is the best available female AD candidate in the UW athletic department.
Hiring female AD's usually sucks. Hiring from within usually sucks. Hiring a female AD from within is guaranteed to suck.

Pathetic

This is as uninspired as you can get. Fuck this program. And the lesbians who run it. Never has an Oso mudslide been more warranted.
