Jimmy’s in way over his head and frankly he’s facing way too many headwinds at this point to reasonably expect to turn things around ... and that’d be true even if he knew what he was doing

That said, the most pressing need is for Jen to be removed as AD

Reality is that Jen’s far too dangerous and irresponsible to make the next hire (and that’s true in a number of sports)

    Totally agree on both counts. There are two types of coaches, athletics directors, presidents and board of Regents....

    One which celebrates the achievements of the entire college team sports programs and can tell you how well the intermural program is going and gives out gold stars for participation and academic achievement in between cub scout meetings; and the other which thirsts for a dominant program and does whatever it takes through sheer willpower, ethic and intention to be a freaking winner in the money producing programs.

    True leadership coaches and AD's [leaders] make it their life's blood to produce a winner, they are constantly evaluating, understand what they are witnessing and they do not let rose colored glasses color their understanding of the truth of the trajectory of the programs they are managing.

    They are decisive when it counts, they have the clout, charisma and financial backing to make it happen and they are ahead of the curve to the point that it all looks seamless. Case closed Sherlock, there is no mystery here.

    I mean sure, but I don't think a new AD will change much. We are not a school that is is serious about sports, and we don't have a Phil Knight that demands sports be taken seriously. Its hard for me to say that getting rid of Cohen will solve that problem.

    We are fundamentally broken, and content with being an above average program that never really does anything.

    WSU has made better hires with far less resources than UW. Cohen needs to go, first.

    Just think of how proud we’ll be in 2026 when Jimmy is a defensive analyst for Sark at Texas and then in 2032 when Jimmy gets a head coach position at a top 15 program.

    Let’s face it. UW either only hires inexperience, incapable coaches or retreads because they’ll do just enough to keep football in position to have positive cash flow.

    @FireCohen was first and right.
