SI: Jennifer Cohen, one of five women to serve as Athletics Director for a Power 5 school, took an unlikely path to the top of college sports. The philosophy she brings to the job hasn't changed from the approach that got her there.

How much do we pay for pieces like this?

SI was once a great magazine. Now, it's trans freaks and fat girls in the swimsuit edition and fluff pieces like this. It's really pathetic.

Because her then husband was a youth baseball coach … and because he introduced Cohen to an influential UW baseball donor named Herb Chaffey ... and because Chaffey decided to throw his heft behind a lifelong Husky who just happened to be female … Cohen landed her dream job in the Washington athletic offices back in 1998. Even then, Barbara Hedges, the school’s female AD, wondered about Cohen’s qualifications.

Jen built up such a good program at the UW that she is other AD's example of what not to do when hiring a new football coach...

Mike Bohn of USC must avoid the mistakes Jen Cohen of Washington made. It’s very simple: If Cohen was going to hire Lake, she first needed to make sure Lake had a plan for the opposite side of the ball. What does that mean? It means that when a head coach with expertise on one side of the ball is considered for a head coaching job (usually, a coordinator being elevated to the top spot, as was the case at Washington), the athletic director must get a really good plan for the other side of the ball.

She couldn't get into UW. (It's not that hard of a school to get into.)

In other articles, she self admitted that she was a "terrible" volleyball coach at Division III early in her career, not good at all.

Sounds like a perfect fit... nothing but the best!
