Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Did the Seattle media ever question Jen Cohen about why she didn't conduct a coaching search?

Ask the Woodinville Weekly to ask her.

Maybe I missed this, but has it ever come out exactly why Peterman changed his resignation timeline from after the bowel game to before? We think it’s because he thought Lake was ready to go?Meek said:I suspect Peterman told her to move Jimmy to the spot. I do not expect Peterman would have resigned so suddenly if he seriously didn't have a 'get Jimmy ready' plan in place.
That Athletic article about the 72 hours behind the scenes leading up to the announcement (where Cohen made very, very sure we knew how much she cried at the news) continued to reference Pete wanting to resign post-bowel - and made it sound like Lake had about 3-4 days max to get ready because of the accelerated timeline. Again, maybe just spin, dunno.
Resigning when he did would have made a search very, very difficult without potentially losing some or a lot of the incoming recruiting class. We would have been in a much better position to assess options if Coach Burnout could have waited a couple more weeks to announce...
I’m with Stalin - cautiously optimistic but concerned
Edit: And let me just add that if any of this caught Cohen completely off-guard as she suggests in said article, then that’s pretty negligent - your football coach told you at the Rose Bowel (the pinnacle of Doog and AD aspirations) how much he hated the experience - probably stands to reason he isn’t going to gut it out for another 10 years and you should have a backup plan with a few options (to include Lake) -
There was no material reason to run a full blown coaching search

Jen's got something in her back pocket to placate the masses
And by pocket i mean EE bra -
He said he hated it? I thought he didn't enjoy it as much as he should have. Not that hard to do when you have so many things on your plate during those 3 weeks.DoubleJDawg said:

I could see that, maybe . . . but why did he coach the bowel game then? Was there really no way to convince him to stay and "coast" if he wanted to for the last couple of weeks?TommySQC said:

"The Seattle media has it out for the Husky football program. They need to keep their noses out of it."
...29 years later...
"Why didn't the Seattle media not take a bite out of Cohen's ass for not conducting a coaching search?"
"Fire Cohen for hiring Jimmy quickly without a thorough coaching search."
...one month later...
"Fire Lake for not hiring on OC IMMEDIATELY!"
Sometimes I think this whole forum just can't handle the ups and downs.

I liked Cohen before that article. I realized she was lucky Pete wasn’t a dick and demanded his own AD when Woodward left.DoubleJDawg said:

It’s all stupid
There was a solid in-.house option
This isn’t inconsistent with succession plans in corporate America
But bitch to bitch
