It was posted earlier but I can't find it. What's the email address for the AD. Time to turn in my 8 seats that have been carried since the late 60s.
Not a big deal, better seats for all of course, but judging by the size of the last couple crowds, it may be somewhere around 5% of the total tickets sold next year.

With a fretting Mother Hen type like Jen Cohen, it is all about optics. She can't let the optics of a coach running over and socking a player in the facemask go without action. She has to show she did something to the academic types.
But she can't stand the blowback that she thinks would come from firing an African-American coach who is failing. She can't bring herself to fire him even though it's painfully obvious he's failing at every aspect of the job and she would be publicly admitting that she failed with her hire.
So she finds the pussified middle ground and goes with that while wringing her hands and talking off-the-record to trusted reporters in the hopes of keeping everything tampered down.
Ladies and gentlemen, this football program is completely fucked.
There is probably some truth in that. It’s also just not admitting that she made the wrong hire and that she was never in charge of the football program. She had all the ability to tell Pete no, we aren’t going Jimmy without a search. She might really like Jimmy too.
I don’t think there would be real, lasting uproar over firing Lake for what has happened on the field. I really don’t. Most the beat writers and even doogman seem to think it’s the right move.
Beyond the race optics, Ty had a good recruiting class coming in. That was part of what saved him.
Jimmy does not. Underachieving team that he himself said could win the conference, horrible losses including to Montana, multiple players regressing, an absent recruiting class.

Yup. Send out the ads now: "Come play for zero-depth Washington, where tru-frosh can start!"
Imagine what Cristobal and the rest of the Pac 12 will say to recruits.
It would probably be in UW's interest to shut down all recruiting efforts for the rest of the season. The coaches showing their faces to recruits is just going to remind them of this dumpster fire.
This can be done with efficiency. Look at Penn St. after their program had to defend raping young men. Conventional wisdom had many thinking PSU was screwed for a long time. Either their leadership and alumni (how much they care about football) are light years better than UW's or pedophilia is just not that big a deal anymore.
Who gives a fuck? It’s quite clear the players hate him for that. You lose the respect of your players with shit like that. With the Dom shit in the Michigan game this makes him look like a massive hypocrite

If so, is Cohen taking it up the ass a strength or a threat?
This dumpster fire will be burning for a long time yet.
I have been talking with people that have bout as much of a connection inside that I do and all are saying similar
There’s no way Jimmy can continue … he’s beyond damaged goods
The real questions are when and how much the buyout is
Once that’s done it’s what are we prepared to do for the replacement
Don’t underestimate how much getting the buyout down will help in the next search in freeing up funding
Anybody I know I’m respectful about talking about their job when they aren’t working just like I respect those that don’t ask about mine
I know that it’s been a really rough year this year on the inside … the energy is obviously not great
Considering these decisions can have long term career implications for those involved you try to be a little sensitive in talking about this stuff
