If you were wondering whether UW's AD took any note of the attention criticism leveled at staff members having #ScoDucks and #WarEagle in their Twitter bios, you have your answer (not that it's surprising).
Phil Knight builds a NIL program with tons of money and an athlete front and center to SELL.
We hire some fresh from college Duck.
First place in the Pac 12 gets a car (Oregon). Second gets steak knives (USC), we get ass out the door.
It'd be fucking laughable if it wasn't constantly repeated everywhere.doog_codpiece said:If you were wondering whether UW's AD took any note of the attention criticism leveled at staff members having #ScoDucks and #WarEagle in their Twitter bios, you have your answer (not that it's surprising).

Ok, so no substance to your complaint whatsoever. Got it.LawDawg1 said:
Did you read her other posts about putting other priorities above a career, about not going into the office much, and taking weeks to arrive?FremontTroll said:
I mean Golden State is a bigger and more valuable franchise/brand than UW sports…kind of a weird take to say the team sells itself…if she was just coming here to manage our social media it would be a step down.NEsnake12 said:So we hired a Duck who's professional experience consists of working for the Pac-12 network (LOL) and working for an NBA team full of established superstars that already sells itself. Great
I’m sure the NIL manager role is what piqued her interest. I don’t even know what that job entails or what her responsibilities/authority would be but she is likely good at the networking and promotion aspect of it. -
Her hype song is "anything Blink 182". That should tell you everything you need to know.

The colleges really don’t know either. My buddy applied for some jobs. He said they are all over hiring sites. He also said they seem to really just want influencer types or people that know how to leverage social media.FremontTroll said:

Disagree. Nobody gives a fuck about them. The biggest Tik Tok manager in the world has like 30,000 followers. The kids he manages have millions and the guy (Michael Gruen) is making millions of dollars.greenblood said:A social media director in the Bay Area should have more than 7,500 followers

What are you even blabbering about? What part of this are you “all in” for?FremontTroll said:

Social media is all about managing optics via the content you post. The content she's posting makes her look like an indifferent out of touch asshole. Imagine not realizing that publicly lamenting your career direction isn't a good way to kick off a new gig. Seems like a pretty fundamental thing not to be bad at. This already feels like when the Times put that other duck child on the UW beat and his reporting sounded like a Dawgman intern til finally the Times got us Vorel. Way to go Jen you clueless fuckhead.

The server experience at Buffalo Wild Wings did it for me. Put her over the top.DoogieMcDoogerson said:

"The fans say we need to do things like Oregon, I hire someone from Oregon and then lo and behold these same fans bitch about it." -
Based on her past, I’d give her 2-3 yrs max. Fucking millennials.

She might be able to leverage some Qdoba NIL deals. After that, nothing.dirtysouwfdawg said:Based on her past, I’d give her 2-3 yrs max. Fucking millennials.

Yeah, conventional wisdom says you remove jobs off of your social media/networking sites if it’s no longer relevant.AtomicDawg said:

She's indirectly letting her Duck friends know she'll be holding her nose during this upcoming pit stop in Seattle before returning to UO to work for Uncle Phil.sinceredawg said:The content she's posting makes her look like an indifferent out of touch asshole.

I wasn't planning to ever give up buffalo sauce on my shift meal, but Qdoba mysteriously anointed my no-experience slacker ass as their social media manager and I'm stoked because that's a word people said when I was eight.

If she can reel in either an Amazon or a Microsoft, her hiring will instantly be regarded a success. It doesn't take much. MSFT AND AMZN have combined 20 times the market cap of Nike. But can she do it? UW has both these companies headquarters in the backyard to themselves and of course several others like Boeing.sinceredawg said:Social media is all about managing optics via the content you post.

Besides, Amazon and Microsoft already give a shit ton of money to UW…to their Computer Science department.
If Dylan Morris and the rest of the team enrolled in CSE 142, we? might stand a chance of getting some of that sweet NIL $$$$. -
Meanwhile, her equal down in Oregon is Phil Knight and a bunch of former Nike execs who already have the corporation formed and the marketing machine ramped up to promote ESPNs labeled best (injured) player in the a Pac 12. She’s still packing.lvd said:

So being social media director of UW atheltics **should** be a full-time job. How on earth can you add NIL to that?
Why wouldn't NIL be its own 6 figure director level role, a direct report to Cohen? Some up and comer at an ad agency or athete management firm.
We're legit going cheap on NIL, right when it's obvious to everyone that we're at a sink or swim inflection for college football/basketball.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Cohen is completely clueless. -

I think there’s a tie-in here. Both Qdoba and JonDon’s coaching make people shit themselves.LawDawg1 said:

This is it completely. It’s not about picking this woman apart, it’s about the idea that building an NIL strategy should have more importance.doogville said:So being social media director of UW atheltics **should** be a full-time job. How on earth can you add NIL to that?

CSE 142 is no joke. I took it in 1988 and my son took it in 2020. No joke. I graduated comp sci and encouraged my son who's an interaction designer to take the class. Dude was 15 feet deep in the swimming pole but he managed to pass it.Doog_de_Jour said:

The NIL is still new, so a lot of how it will play out remains to be seen. But I can't believe I still see people gabbing about "reeling in" Amazon and Microsoft or any other F500 company in the Seattle area. What possible incentive could any of these companies have to cough up money for any of these kids? I doubt anyone handling the purse strings of a marketing budget over there could ever justify even $10k going to some nameless husky football player who won't even be in the area in three years (or earlier once our mass portal event occurs).lvd said:

There's a reason all of the NIL deals you read about involve small franchises or local businesses. They're not money making opportunities. But a passionate booster with his own company to use as a slush fund is more than happy to take that loss if it means directly assisting his alma mater's success. So I would assume whoever we hire as the NIL director is someone who can navigate those waters, has connections to local boosters/businesses, and is comfortable shooting the shit with the kind of boys club network of business owners who would be willing to throw money away for an NIL deal. I have no idea if Ramming is that person or not, but on paper she seems to be a complete mismatch and completely underqualified for what I'd expect this job to entail.
