    Also Jen Cohen just landed one of the 10 richest deals in all of college athletics for apparel. I fucking love this broad.

    Jen Cohen might go down as my biggest whiff ever. And I wanted UW to hire Mora over Petersen.
    You and me both. I absolutely HATED the hire, but she has fucking kicked ass since jump and made me look stoopid many many times.

    Hired Peterman. Check. Killed Crazy Larry. Check. Stands mostly full. Check. Romar shitcanned. Check. Jim Basnight driven insane. Check. Hired good replacement. Check. One of the most lucrative apparel deals in college athletics. Check. Fuck Nike. Check.

    I love her. Straight up.

    full disclosure edit: Remember the parody account @Cohen12 ? Yeah, that was me. Hardly anyone knows that. I made it to make fun of her because I hated her. Notice you don't see it much anymore? Because she kicks ass. That's why.
    Womens rowing, Crosscountry, and Basketball have really gone down hill under Cohen. These are key sports for a pac12 team. We do not look good in primetime on the pac12 network.

    Hired Peterman.
    Agree with you on everything except this.

    Remember- Peterman hired himself. Her big sloppies has nothing to do with it. Her big sloppies just didn’t screw it up.

    Those puppies of hers are turning into the best thing the UW AD has ever had.

    One could add that most men work under incompetent men as well

    Definitely, but they have a 1000% higher chance of having their competency rewarded. Notice I didn't say recognized.

    Not fucking up a sure thing is a rare trait for most management

    Love it. The thing I love most about her is that she grew up in our golden era thinking of UW as a blue blood and conducts herself with this mindset in her role as AD.

    How she lasted so long in the Turner and Woody regimes without losing her shit is amazing. Go Jen.

    Working under incompetent men is just reality for most competent women.
    truth told here

    One could add that most men work under incompetent men as well

    I tell the kids today the line between success and failure is narrow but the competition on the success side is a lot less than on the failure side because most folks choose failure

    What you have to do to succeed is not near as much as people think

    Show up on the time all the time puts you ahead of 81% of the competition.

    :"Sure he fucked up but he's here and on time so there's that"
    This is actually true kids. It really is true. Get the fuck out of bed and just be there. I tell one of my kids, who's group has the luxury of working from home a lot, not to do that too often. Show your face and be there. The next recession hits, you want people to know you and see you AT FUCKING WORK consistently on time and, here's the key, WORKING, not fucking around on the internet.
    Had me up until there.
    I thought I'd sneak that in.
