Jen Cohen's interview with Christian Caple
Her only strong statements were she's excited about new LED lights in the stadium for the gameday experience, and they're halfway to getting 5,000 new ticket holders. (Net or gross?)
I don't like to be negative about her but this is how I see the situation.

TYFYS.
I’m going to sit this one out this time. -
With LED lights how can we expect to get 20 minute cool down periods when the lights go off during our 11pm games?

Derek, as head of the largest fan forum for UW sports, why don't you try to set up an interview for your front page/podcast?
Just make sure you don't end it by shouting "don't tase me, bro" as campus police pin you down -
Did she mention the non-carcinogenic purple smoke they’re introducing next year?DerekJohnson said:When I saw this come out I was looking forward to learning something. I posted it tonight in the Wam. But... Caple lobbed softballs at her and she gave non-answers or canned, cliche'd responses. She was not challenged at all and the whole thing was just a waste of everybody's time. I came away with even less confidence in her ability to lead this athletic department.

There’s no way she’s granting any interview that poses hard hitting questions
Being excited about seizure inducing LED boards sums Jen up in a single comment -
Let's see the questions you would've asked her?DerekJohnson said:Caple lobbed softballs at her and she gave non-answers or canned, cliche'd responses. She was not challenged at all and the whole thing was just a waste of everybody's time.

Off the top of my head, here are questions I would ask, and they would be done so respectfully,,,
Looking back when you had the campaign challenging Husky fans to be "all in", and then you failed to lobby for a delay of the conference championship game and instead stepped aside and allowed Oregon to go, what would you say to Husky fans who felt deeply betrayed by that?
Are you feeling pressure of any sort? If so, which?
Given the fiscal challenges the department is facing, what could have been done differently during the stadium remodel to lower costs?
For Husky fans who are feeling uncertainty about the future of the program including where its home conference will be, what would you say to them right now?
What would be your ideal outcome for the P12 media deal?
Aside from the obvious win-loss record, what characteristics of DeBoer do you most appreciate as head coach?
What were the conversations like between Ohio State and your department? (In regards to OSU bowing out of the trip to Seattle)
Looking back, do you have any second thoughts about how you promoted Penix last season? What is the general plan this season to promote him?
Etc...
