    For me, I'd say a pretty standard response. I had several bosses (ADs) tell me a variation of this, over the years..."You can run it the way you want, I will stay out of the way, and am here to help you. If you cheat I will fire you, and if something gets to my desk, I will take action on it, and you might not like the result"...

    The school and image take a hit when something like this goes down, as well as the egos of those up the food chain who signed off on the hire(s). A lot of us thought Jen was a wizard for CP / Hop / Yimmy early on in each hire. She is either really good at her job and was just unlucky twice, horrible at it, or somewhere in between...I don't fault her for CP, speaking as a currently burned-out coach...

    I like the AD that sits you down and says, " you better win games and put us in position to win the conference every year, with a shot now and then at a NY6. You got three years to get there and i don't care how you do it, just win, and if anything comes across my desk that makes me look bad, you're gone."

    I think the texts are public record so they can't say too much. They could mess with their phones to hide evidence like Durkan and Best did but it's not worth the reputational stain. If Cohen retires soon, do we trust Cauce to make the right AD hire?

    At least former Husky Bruce Harrell is now Mayor after the massive disappointments of Durkan and Murray.

    I’ll believe we are good when I see it, but the buy in seems to be there. Good for DeBoer and the coaches.

    It’s just a new, overarching can do attitude with these emaciated Dawgs.
