Jen Cohen - compensation
Her new total annual compensation of $825,000 (retention bonus included) should put her in the top half of athletic director pay at public schools in the Pac-12. But she knows there are more important money matters at hand, such as the long-term financial health of the department, the cash influx via the Adidas deal and the push to fund a new facility to house the men’s and women’s basketball programs.

I am dumb, but I think she is doing pretty good right now

I was on record as saying she was a terrible hire and couldn't believe they didn't hire someone from the outside at the time.
Oops
She has done a phenomenal job as AD at UW. Pay her what she wants. -
What areas do you believe she has most excelled? What have been her most difficult decisions so far? You can't use Romar as an example. That was an easy decision. I am not disagreeing with you BTW. Just curious of your thoughts?HuskyJW said:I was on record as saying she was a terrible hire and couldn't believe they didn't hire someone from the outside at the time.

She aced the Hop hire. And firing Romar might have been a no brained but plenty of ADs would have refused to fire the guy with the #1 recruit in the nation.jecornel said:

She could make double if she showed her tits

The Adidas move has me excited, too. Next up, get beer sales in the stadium and turn down the corporate shit by about 50%.HillsboroDuck said:

I agree Hop is a big improvement over Romar, let's revisit in three years. Hopefully, it will include at least one sweet 16. I think that is more than reasonable.HillsboroDuck said:

Sure. Firing Romar might have been an easy decision...but bringing in Mike Hopkins? Did anyone have that guy on the coaching radar? Did anyone even know his name? I sure hadn't ever heard of him.jecornel said:

What she did with the budget and to help turn that around in such a short period of time. The Adidas deal was (maybe still is) 5th highest in college athletics. Turned her back on Nike....not many do that.
This seems like small potatoes...but bringing in alcohol sales inside of Husky Stadium? I never thought I would see that in my lifetime. She fought for it and got it. More $$

Added bonus is that because she's a she, you don't have to pay her what she's worth.

Cohen took a lot of shit for the Romar hiring. Some of you forget how many blind, paste-licking doogs there are out there.

Hop was the assumed boeheim replacement. Syracuse is a.big time job of course. He wasn't an unknown amongst coaching cirlces. She gets credit for hire.HuskyJW said:

Beer sales would be a huge win. -

Firing Romar was far from an easy decision ... particularly in today’s woken environment. There were plenty of narratives out there saying that Romar was wronged, deserved more time, etc. These narratives still exist.jecornel said:

As her first major decision, far from an easy one for a 1st time AD
The Hop hire to compound the decision to date makes everything look like a slam dunk -
Cohen’s done a lot to ensure that the health of the AD is where it needs to be, investing in the right areas, etc
She’s quite deserving of the raise ... there’s also a long way to go -
Hey Nike! Addidas is offering 130 million. What's your offer? Thanks for the update Jen. Enjoy the 130 million!BleachedAnusDawg said:

Firing Romar was the right move, but even after 9-22 or whatever it was, he still had a lot of Doog support for what he did from 2004-2011 and the recruiting classes. Doogs are stupid and think a three seed and the Elite 8 are just a couple of recroots away. Big props for canning him and hiring a good replacement.
-
I’m also on record as saying I was against her hire...never been so happy to have been wrong. Glad she got a raise, she’s certainly earned it.

The Romar firing was a complete and total BLUNDER. A perfect snapshot of how Cohen has started to ruin UW athletics.jecornel said:
