    Pete for AD?

    The has-been burnout?



    FTG
    Pete hired Jimmy as HC. He’d be the worst AD ever.

    It Rutgers AD can rack up almost 300m in debt, anything is possible for UW.

    Any ideas for a new / good AD?

    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.
    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.
    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.
