Fire Jen Cohen

My initial thought was 81% confidence that Jimmy is being termed during the week. I feel bad having to write this, but @Tequilla could be right.
If this were a competently managed organization I would be 100% of this being just a step in the termination process. Unless other incidents have come to light, or you’re planning to term, you don’t suspend Lake for that. If you want to show due diligence and a punishment for unacceptable behavior this isn’t how you do that.
The two things that are holding me back from making it a definitive “he gone” is that they fired JonDon and this being an unpaid suspension. I’ve had someone investigated for embezzlement and elder abuse in a work capacity, and have had to suspend them with pay. I’ve never suspended anyone without pay. Nodded out on painkillers at a meeting where two company VPs are present? Suspension with pay. Who the fuck gets suspended as an exempt employee without pay? I’d have to look at Lake’s contract, but unless it mentions it in there or he’s straight up saying “fuck you, you can’t suspend me” while taking a dook on the president’s desk it’s unusual. SHRM is against the practice unless it’s for breaking the law or serious misconduct. If Jimmy’s lawyers find the slightest shred of performance related criticism, like an email or a text saying the team sucks or firing the offensive coordinator, then it’s going to be a nice pay day for them.
Options:
1. He gone.
2. More under the surface, and eventually Option 1.
3. Weird contract, but Option 1.
4. UW is fucking this up and Option 1 but it’s going to cost them many money units.
5. UW is fucking this up and he stays, but it destroys any remaining shred of credibility for the program. -
I think 4 is the most likely at this point … if they don’t have a termination wrapped up in the next 48 hours then they’ll be looking at firing him at the end of the year for the full amountRatherBeBrewing said:My initial thought was 81% confidence that Jimmy is being termed during the week.

jcohen@uw.eduAlexis said:It was posted earlier but I can't find it. What's the email address for the AD. Time to turn in my 8 seats that have been carried since the late 60s.
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.

I will keep this short and respectful.
You all owe it to our student athletes and the proud program you represent to part ways with Jimmy Lake. The on-field behavior this last weekend was symptomatic of an unacceptable situation and coaching staff. Firing a coordinator isn't an acceptable solution.
We can and should do better than this. We owe it to our student athletes to do better than this.

Defense will keep us in the game, that's not changing. There's a chance the offense might actually do something if Adams wants to please his WRs. -

While this is very true, the best game of the season is such a low bar that the team simply getting to the stadium puts it in contention.

Deserves more chins for "addled." Perfect.Sources said:
You think our addled, smooth brained AD has considered any of this? No, it's blundered damage control. Nothing moreTequilla said:
Best guessRoadTrip said:
Your best guess or inside knowledge?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
I have been talking with people that have bout as much of a connection inside that I do and all are saying similar
There’s no way Jimmy can continue … he’s beyond damaged goods
The real questions are when and how much the buyout is
Once that’s done it’s what are we prepared to do for the replacement
Don’t underestimate how much getting the buyout down will help in the next search in freeing up funding -
A big win is the best thing that could happen
Jen can't get away with trying to make this go away -
