Huh? I heard subscriptions are up!!1!
Full disclosure: 1.2 Million of those were the Throbber refreshing his browser on the Erin Hawksworth and Keeley Hazell threads.
brb, yo.
I concur on Jen Cohen. I was among the most skeptical losers on this site that she was yet another one of the crony hires that the UW had become synonymous with.
As you mentioned, the pattern of unqualified hires and outright corruption did not give me any reason to expect, let alone believe that Cohen was anything more than another brick in the wall. Seriously...spending $1M on a recruiting agency that ends up giving the job to an internal candidate (red flag!!) who has no top dog experience at any school (red flag!!) was simply what we had come to expect as we were ridiculed by the UW admin as half brains.
What is without question is that we didn't give a shit about Jen's personal reasons for wanting the job. We didn't give a shit about Jen's passion for the Huskies. We didn't give a shit that she took a photo with Don James when she was 12 and told him she wanted this job. I wanted to be a fucking astronaut when I was 12. Look at me now - still live in my mom's basement. So the thing is, I just didn't give a shit about Jen Cohen as a person or as a prospect. Husky football was on its death bed.
So, Jen, if you read this bored, I didn't trust you from the get-go. I didn't give you a chance because you didn't deserve a chance. You were "hired", in our eyes, through the same sketchy process that gave us Emmert's front porch, the Pool Boy, Tyrone's vicious teams that literally quit on him while he played more golf than Trump does, the random Sarkaholic hiring, black uniforms with beige trim...what the fuck was I supposed to think? You get that, right? Everything leading up to you had been a big fuck you to me, my wallet, and the other grown-ass losers on this site.
But here's the thing...you have made good decision after good decision after good decision...and not just good decisions, but very tough decisions that your predecessors were too chicken shit to make (or worse - couldn't figure out how to make).
We're almost there Jen. The uniforms...get our brand back. But even if you don't because you decide that the look and feel of Husky football is anything but what my cranky old man perception thinks it should be, I'm a believer. You've done enough for me to trust you with the car. The keys, kid, can stay with you.
Jen Cohen....you've come a long way, baby.
I'm definitely going to go outside soon. I think I'm ready.
