To spread the pain out, the new AD should hire a new coach football coach (to protect and then grow the golden goose) while punting on Hopkins until after the 2022-2023 season.
I think the timeline is right
Jen sometime between now and end of Academic year
Jimmy fine after 2022 season
Hop you hope he can tread water until he gets to the last year of his contract and revisit at that point …
The other missing pieces in here are that you will need to likely turn over the balance of the Athletic Department to change the culture (no small task) and will almost assuredly be opening up the coffers for your next football coach (can’t miss on 2 hires in a row … need someone with instant credibility that can turnaround the damage Jimmy has left)
As for AD names, I don’t know resumes well enough but I would at minimum start by looking at those from the Big12 and if there is somebody in the SEC that makes a ton of sense.
It will cost about $5 million to get rid of JL and assistants for the 2022 season but if 5,000 season ticket holders at two Tyee tickets per account, that's about $10 to $15 million in lost revenues a year.
I want a new AD making the next football hire
Fire Jen and I don’t know if you lose a ton in renewals because I expect most Tyees are smart enough to know what is coming
Do nothing and you’re right … AD is going to take on water as the $$$ dries up

No AD worth their salt is going to agree to work for Ana Mari Cauci. The obvious next logical step is firing AMC, but if you think UW and its BOR are the type of university to pull such a big dick move to improve their football program, you haven't been paying attention for the last 28+ years. UW is FUBAR.
Why would an AD not want to work for Cauce?
From afar UW’s taken on more of a leadership role in the conference and she’s largely taken the position of staying out of the way when it comes to athletics (in the best way possible)

Yeah, I'm not sure that has turned out so well. Both of UW's revenue generating sports teams are dogshit.

Football coaches don't know or understand anything about university presidents.
UW pays football coaches a lot, the idea that "upper campus" actively strangles football is stupid.
They would rather not deal with it on a personal level, but no D-1 pres. misunderstands the cultural importance of football.

That’s not the President’s job
Her job is to manage the Athletic Director
The Athletic Director is responsible for the programs

They wouldn't do it to rescue the football / athletic dept but they would do it to protect and grow the cash flow from the grant money that literally floats the boat at UW... and saying that, on that note, it's a shocking misadventure that the Board pursued in the first place to ever promote AMC to be the president... all of this is about doing actual business and she has no expertise at running that cash flow show which tells you everything that you need to know about the Board of Regents as well. Clowns are us. Hopeless.

The American Dream.

We need to build a university at Oklahoma that the football team can be proud of.
