Every AD would have resigned Hopkins too.dnc said: -

Afraid/lazy AD's promote the assistant. Not to mention the program was trending down with that staff at the time.HHusky said:Hired Lake when that would have been the hire no matter who the AD was. Hired DeBoer and most of you mocked it.
It’s a loss.
Tedford/Petersen ultimately got DeBoer in here after her own candidates fell through. -

Jen Cohen was negotiating the BIG deal at the same time as she was with USC and limited us to 50%. Same as USC did when they prevented expansion with Big 12 schools. Pretty amazing.
Having said that, I have a solid wife. Upon hearing the news she texted: "lol it's Sark all over again haha. Didn't they learn from taking our people last time lol good for us?!"

I have a hard time believing she would happily jump ship to USC unless she went to Cauce with a salary number in hand and was told no way in hell would she get close to that amount. Cohen allegedly bled purple and shit gold. It appears that Cauce is becoming the modern day Messiah for UW football.

Here is how I'd rate some moments from her tenure:
Good
- Hiring Deboer: Although he wasn't her first choice
- Stadium renovations: This probably would have happened regardless of who the AD was
Neutral
- Hiring Hopkins: At the time this was an intriguing hire but in no way a "splash" hire. Coach in waiting behind Boeheim, good recruiter and tied into team USA basketball
- De-prioritizing football during the pandemic: Not sure how much of this was her fault
Bad
- Firing Jimmy and paying him his full salary
- Hiring Jimmy: Some reasons to think he was a good hire but also reasons to think he had worn out his welcome
- Brand/Game day experience: Can be so much better
That list just screams "mediocre" to me.
What else would you throw on here/change? -
It's a grand-slam hire, for sure -- for UW.
For Trooj, it's more like an infield fly rule out.

She got the green light to give raises to almost the entire coaching staff to keep them happy, especially Grubb.DucksFC said:new copypasta!

I wonder if there exists a legal loophole to pursue here -- though we'd never pursue it.LawDawg1 said:Jen Cohen was negotiating the BIG deal at the same time as she was with USC and limited us to 50%. Same as USC did when they prevented expansion with Big 12 schools. Pretty amazing.

My elation at the news has turned to horrified as people I (previously) consider(ed) intelligent keep name-dropping Petersen to be the replacement. I'm way more pro-Petersen than most here as a coach, and I still think he's one of the worst choices to be an AD in the current age. Philosophically he's about as anti-NIL as you can get, and experientially he has never even been an AD before. Get the fuck out of here with that.
This is a major inflection point for the AD. With Cohen's departure, our connection to the Decade of Shame is now fully severed. We can dramatically upgrade (or downgrade) the AD culture with this hire. Let KDB pick the next one, or at a minimum let him heavily vet and sign-off on candidates before putting offers in front of them. -

Stadium renovation happened before she was in charge. Of course she was there, but remember Jim Lambright was still alive when that happened.
So her baseball hires have been iffy.
Mens Soccer has been top ten but that hire was pre Jen, and a lot of that seems to be due to the proximity of the Sounders.
Her home run hire was in track and field. She poached some assistant coaches from Oregon, and UW track is actually competitive. Kind of amazing really considering the track complex is smaller than most high schools. Not that track is a huge draw.
Womens softball - status quo.
Womens hoops - real bad
Womens Volleyball - Lost Keegan Cook. Hopefully Leslie keeps things going.
Womens Soccer - no clue / who cares?
Not real certain about the other sports, golf, rowing, beach volleyball. -

You stick your head up your ass and let upper campus and the NCAA take turns fucking you. -
He's been saying from the beginning that DeBoer was an A+ hire.DerekJohnson said:
