Because her then husband was a youth baseball coach … and because he introduced Cohen to an influential UW baseball donor named Herb Chaffey ... and because Chaffey decided to throw his heft behind a lifelong Husky who just happened to be female … Cohen landed her dream job in the Washington athletic offices back in 1998. Even then, Barbara Hedges, the school’s female AD, wondered about Cohen’s qualifications. -
Jen built up such a good program at the UW that she is other AD's example of what not to do when hiring a new football coach...

It’s very simple: If Cohen was going to hire Lake, she first needed to make sure Lake had a plan for the opposite side of the ball. What does that mean? It means that when a head coach with expertise on one side of the ball is considered for a head coaching job (usually, a coordinator being elevated to the top spot, as was the case at Washington), the athletic director must get a really good plan for the other side of the ball. -
She couldn't get into UW. (It's not that hard of a school to get into.)
In other articles, she self admitted that she was a "terrible" volleyball coach at Division III early in her career, not good at all.
Sounds like a perfect fit... nothing but the best!
