Firing Jimmy needs to be a foregone conclusion before Jen gets similarly door ass outted. As much as people want it to be a two-fer you gotta have the one squarely sighted in before hoping for the second.
#FireJimmy nothing else matters.
Why do we want Jen to make this hire again?
We don't, but you HAVE to START with firing Jimmy being REQUIRED. If you can't even get that consensus then you aren't ever going to have the conversation of if Jen should keep her job.
If Lake goes 4-8 or 5-7, I don't see how she can keep him another year. To save only $3.3 million?
Optics of firing a black football coach vs keeping the white basketball coach who did worse. Sadly this is what keeps Lake around for next year.
It's apples and oranges. Who cares that JL has a little more melanin than MH? Hopkins at least had success his first two years and he isn't heading up the Golden Goose known as Husky Football. Husky Football pays for every other sport and keeping Jimmy Fake to save only $3.3 million and for stupid optics while losing $7-10 million in ticket / concession / merchandise etc etc etc would be the dumbest thing since the Gilby / Willingham debacle.

No.
Fire Jen first. If she fires Jimmy it means another shit hire by her, another 2-3 years of shit before the new coach can get fired, another buyout, etc.
Boosters have to be willing to 1) but Jimmy out and 2) pay to secure an elite coach
Agree on point one which is why you fire Jen now and the new AD can clean house. If the general agreement is that Jimmy stays another year, her head needs to roll now.

Or use the old corporate play - have Jen fire everyone, then fire Jen with a nice parting gift.
New AD comes in with no ill-will for being the hatchet guy and can then make the new hires.
You guys are forgetting the bullshit clause in Jimmy’s contract that he gets an automatic extension if Jen Cohen isn’t AD anymore. Jimmy has to go first

Bingo
Jen gets her hands dirty
Gets the balance of her remaining contract to go away

I agree with this. Firing Jimmy isn't enough. The problems with the program go all the way to the top. At a minimum Cohen needs to go, too.
If you were a serious and talented HC, would you be excited to work under Jen Cohen? Fuck no.
