Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
This is what I have been able to gather the last couple of days. Mind you, I have been ignoring Washington Football all Fall until I got word last week that Jimmy was being let go, which got me excited again so I'm still catching up.
- Search started last week, and the search firm is mainly being used for background checks
- Goal is to have a coach announced early in the week, right after the apple cup. That would give the head coach two weeks for home visits and official visits.
- There are a few big-name coaches that Jen has been in contact with agent-wise. Still in the feeling out process, so I can't say if she can land any of them
- If she cannot land any of the obvious candidates, I expect her to go for a Power Five coach. I have heard brent Brennan and Kalen Deboer name being tossed around
- Some donors are willing to chip in and help, but it has to be for the right coach. Jen can't go wild, but she can be competitive as far as salary goes, so money isn't an issue
- The Wilcox rumors are from his camp. He wants the job and is lobbying to get it. I'm sure Jen will consider him, but he is down on the list.
All I got so far. If I hear anything substantial, I will post it if given clearance.

- Is Pete returning a real possibility?
- Any idea who is on the committee? I'd guess Huard(s), yourself, Petersen
- I can't stop masturbating to the thought of Sam Huard in DeBoer's offense, please advise
I guess three weeks is better than the three minute search we did for Jimmy.
Brent Brennan is an odd name though. I'm not sure what the appeal is. He took an abysmal SJSU and made them....mediocre.
2. There are people outside the program helping Jen which is needed. Everyone understands how big this next hire especially Jen, whose job is on the line with this hire. Huards are involved along with some other Alumni. I was asked last week about what is needed, and I gave my opinion. Guess they started respecting what I say after being completely right on Jimmy. I am, however, am not involved with the hiring, nor should I be. But Jen definitely has some help.
3. Go get laid
