Jen Cohen has got to go NOW

Mike Hopkins was a pushup hire suggested by some very powerful boosters over at the Tyee Club and former players that wanted to turn the UW MBB program into Syracuse West by hiring a 22 year career assistant coach to lead the way.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Cohen can stay as long as the boosters demand a good hire and she makes it happen.
Anything else, bye.
Hate on Hop now all you want but he was a home run hire. He was the heir at Syracuse and early indications were good.
Even the Jimmy hiring made sense.
Mike Hopkins had never been a head coach before at any level outside of taking over for Jim Boheim when he was suspeneded by the NCAA and went 4-5 with a Syracuse team that would eventually make the Final Four.
Mike Hopkins looked good coaching Romar's recruits but ever since he had to get off of the LoRo lifeboat he has been atrocious coaching his own recruits recruited by him to play in his outdated defensive system and who knows what he is running on offense going into his fifth year coaching at Montlake.
Mike Hopkins basketball acumen is severely lacking as is his ability to make in game and half time adjustments in real time.
Mike Hopkins can't manage the program properly either word to Quade Green (academics) and Naz Carter (sexual assault allegation cover up).
Also, after 4 seasons leading the program who has Mike Hopkins developed? Naz Carter? Hameir Wright? Jamal Bey? Nate Roberts? Cole Bajema?
It only took Jen Cohen two days to hire Hopkins https://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/2017/03/timeline_of_mike_hopkins_hiring_washington_acted_swiftly_to_pluck_sus_coach_in_w.html after she backstabbed LoRo after promising Romar the upcoming season to coach his highly touted recruiting class before making a decision on his coaching future at the UW.
Btw- didn't Mike Hopkins come over from a dirty NCAA sanction program in Syracuse https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2015/3/9/8166543/syracuse-ncaa-scandal-explained-jim-boeheim where he feigned ignorance to the related particulars despite, in his own words, being very involved with the players both on and off of the court?
I don't know why the UW hired an assistant lap dog coach from a dirty NCAA program...that's on Jen Cohen and her fascination with hotel room interview pushups. -
PGOS is right. Dempsey donated 10m (5 towards NIL and 5 towards new hire salary). From a HS buddy’s dad that is a boosterPostGameOrangeSlices said:
She isnt making this hire just like she didnt make the Jimmy one. Hth. It was a booster approved handoff.DerekJohnson said:
So she fucks up the next hire and then you say "well bye", meanwhile we're stuck with another shitty hire for 2-5 years.PostGameOrangeSlices said:Cohen can stay as long as the boosters demand a good hire and she makes it happen.
Anything else, bye.

No. She's got to go now.
She deserves blame for not vetoing the Donovan hire. Actually, that alone might be fire worthy

Pete funnels the NIL shit. He’s basically the AD anyways

Yeah he shouldnt have been extended or whatever.ChillyDawg said:

Regardless of whom is hired Jen needs to go. She is the worst negotiator for an AD I have ever seen. Locking up shit assts to long term deals. Donovan could have been had for so much less.
She kept hop for now two extra years that is cratering the basketball program.
She hires coaches and gets out of the way. She can’t coach up and lead those below her. She cried when Pete quit when the program was in a good spot with a good hire to make up for his weaknesses.
She isn’t a leader. She is a fundraiser. -
It seems like Fudge said earlier that Pete is the real ADAtomicDawg said:Regardless of whom is hired Jen needs to go. She is the worst negotiator for an AD I have ever seen. Locking up shit assts to long term deals. Donovan could have been had for so much less.

If this is true it is only because she has no idea wtf she is doing. All the more reason to fire her.PostGameOrangeSlices said:
