Not a big deal, better seats for all of course, but judging by the size of the last couple crowds, it may be somewhere around 5% of the total tickets sold next year. -

There is probably some truth in that. It’s also just not admitting that she made the wrong hire and that she was never in charge of the football program. She had all the ability to tell Pete no, we aren’t going Jimmy without a search. She might really like Jimmy too.DerekJohnson said:With a fretting Mother Hen type like Jen Cohen, it is all about optics. She can't let the optics of a coach running over and socking a player in the facemask go without action. She has to show she did something to the academic types.
But she can't stand the blowback that she thinks would come from firing an African-American coach who is failing. She can't bring herself to fire him even though it's painfully obvious he's failing at every aspect of the job and she would be publicly admitting that she failed with her hire.
So she finds the pussified middle ground and goes with that while wringing her hands and talking off-the-record to trusted reporters in the hopes of keeping everything tampered down.
Ladies and gentlemen, this football program is completely fucked.
I don’t think there would be real, lasting uproar over firing Lake for what has happened on the field. I really don’t. Most the beat writers and even doogman seem to think it’s the right move.
Beyond the race optics, Ty had a good recruiting class coming in. That was part of what saved him.
Jimmy does not. Underachieving team that he himself said could win the conference, horrible losses including to Montana, multiple players regressing, an absent recruiting class. -
No Rehab? UW's PR machine sucks at laundering reputations.AtomicDawg said:

WTF does just the beginning mean here...is there hope still?FecalFeast said: -
Is that your SWOT analysis, Teq?Tequilla said:It’s terrible optics by Jen
Jimmy’s still getting fired
Still negotiating terms …
Part of terms will be Jimmy’s desire to protect reputation vs UW’s desire to reduce buyout
Aligned interests will prop up Jimmy while the AD takes it up the ass
That probably doesn’t matter long term because I don’t see how Jen survives all of this long term
Incompetence has its price
If so, is Cohen taking it up the ass a strength or a threat? -
That's how it should be. But we live in a world of Optics, not truths.ReignMan said:She hired Jimmy, Jimmy hired JonDon, Jimmy lost to Montana, Jimmy can't recruit, etc...... No lawyers needed, your both fired.
This dumpster fire will be burning for a long time yet. -
Calling BS. UW administration loves them some Jimmy and he's going nowhere soon. I'll happily eat crow if I'm wrong.FecalFeast said: -
Yup. Send out the ads now: "Come play for zero-depth Washington, where tru-frosh can start!"RoadDawg55 said:

Email has been sent. I wish I was a more technically gifted writer. But I think it was better than the other version where I call her an asshole.
