    Can someone check out the numbers in this and/or fill in some gaps of cost to buyout key figures after their current season/year

    Jimmy = $10M (3 years - rounded)

    Football Assistants = $3-4M

    Hopkins = ???

    Hoops Assistants = ???

    Jen Cohen = ???

    For Hopkins after this year, he is due 9.3 million, Jen is due close to 3 million after this year, don't know about the basketball assistants but my guess is they both got 2-year contracts so between the two I would guess about one million
    Assuming the number for Jen includes a buyout of her option years?
    Yeah, it might be a little higher to around 3.5 mill.
    I was assuming around $2M with the buyouts the wild card

    But the context is good - thanks for confirming

    Given the options available, Jen’s buyout is easily the most palpable of them all. Hop’s likely got a few more years to stay comfortable.

    Why does an unproven first time AD have any buyout?

    Fire whoever hired her too

    She doesn’t have a buyout … she has a CONTRACT

    The contract extension was made in 2018 …

    What was announced and made known over the last 6-12 months was the 2018 raise

    Any ideas for a new / good AD?

    To spread the pain out, the new AD should hire a new coach football coach (to protect and then grow the golden goose) while punting on Hopkins until after the 2022-2023 season.

    I think the timeline is right

    Jen sometime between now and end of Academic year

    Jimmy fine after 2022 season

    Hop you hope he can tread water until he gets to the last year of his contract and revisit at that point …

    The other missing pieces in here are that you will need to likely turn over the balance of the Athletic Department to change the culture (no small task) and will almost assuredly be opening up the coffers for your next football coach (can’t miss on 2 hires in a row … need someone with instant credibility that can turnaround the damage Jimmy has left)

    As for AD names, I don’t know resumes well enough but I would at minimum start by looking at those from the Big12 and if there is somebody in the SEC that makes a ton of sense.

    I don't know, if the Huskies go 5-7, it would most likely cost more in the medium run to keep a dead coach walking instead of eating that extra $3.2 million for 2022. How many people wouldn't renew their tickets and not spend money at the stadium? If 5,000 accounts gave up their Tyee tickets (for 10,000 total tickets), that alone would cost about $10 to $15 million each and every year. That's not even considering food / drinks, merchandise, and parking.

    It will cost about $5 million to get rid of JL and assistants for the 2022 season but if 5,000 season ticket holders at two Tyee tickets per account, that's about $10 to $15 million in lost revenues a year.

    No AD worth their salt is going to agree to work for Ana Mari Cauci. The obvious next logical step is firing AMC, but if you think UW and its BOR are the type of university to pull such a big dick move to improve their football program, you haven't been paying attention for the last 28+ years. UW is FUBAR.
