Troy Dannen selling couch?

HEY AMC!
Just want you know that I, and my leopard print jacket, are tanned, rested, and ready.
-
He's definitely going to be looking elsewhere after this season.
-
Nebraska is a rival? A bit hyperbolic to say that.
-
Christ.
-
Net positive for you guys if everything I heard last November/December is accurate.
You’ll get your guy, or girl, or alphabet candidate….
-
Everyone thought he was a short-timer when he got hired. His boss just left him. New boss will want their own guy. Cook it
-
You didn't hear anything.
-
We gotta get Venoy and show the B1G our pimp hand!
-
That shit is beyond overrated.
The head coach is the most important figure in the AD by miles.
DeBoer didn't give a fuck that Jen left and he had Dannen bending the knee day 1, minute 1.
-
I mean, it’s going to be tough to retain anyone in the AD seat on the half-share, plus all the shit they need to fix in the current budget (almost certainly including substantial layoffs/other “hard decisions”), plus all the ties that need to be rebuilt to a donor/alum base which has been systematically abandoned and disengaged. I’m sure Dannen was surprised how hard it was to get anyone to give money to the program even during a national championship run for football (and how many historical grievances, valid or otherwise, donors/alums rolled out as to why they weren’t/wouldn’t)
This is not a job at this point for a good ol’ boy backslapping AD - it’s for a finance-focused person who systematically and dispassionately (ruthlessly) right sizes the organization and budget. Just getting the current revenue streams and cost savings flowing into the right places would rapidly solve some of the current inherent problems. Then when the full share kicks in, you can go back to the vapid do nothing type we’ve had over the last couple if you want, I guess.

He says tune in at 3 pm for a great story about Dannen.
-
Fuck that guy
-
The narrative is that Dannen was a jock sniffer and if you weren't a current or former athlete he gave zero fucks about you.
Say what you want about Softy, but it's pretty dumb if you're the UW AD and you're not making buddies with him. He is far and away the number one media outlet for UW.
-
Was Dannen even there a year?
-
The full share is never going to actually happen (2030), the full scale consolidation will occur before the Big10 renegotiation occurs.
North:
Michigan
tOSU
PSU
Wisconsin
USC
Oregon
ND
UCLA
UW
Nebraska
South:
Florida
Georgia
Tennessee
Alabama
LSU
TAMU
UT
Oklahoma
FSU
Clemsonteams like Clemson, FSU, Neb, Wisconsin, UW, and UCLA are obviously on the chopping block if they cant get their shit together in the next few years regardless of current media share.
-
conferences will never kick out school members outside of disciplinary reasons.
-
same here
-
-
So creative. As always.
-
softy just said that people didn’t like Dannen because Dannen didn’t like DEI. Might have to side with Dannen on this one
-
What even is the point of signing contracts anymore
How can anyone get engaged with this when you don't know the players, coaches or other leaders of the team
-
Yeah, but do your fucking homework before you accept a job. Any AD who wants to be successful needs to navigate the whole EDI thing. You can hate it if you want, but it isn't going anywhere so be smart and figure it out.
The UW job is probably meant for a west coast person under the age of 50 who understands the landscape and is a football-first, second and third believer.
-
I think this is what we all suspectd.
-
Well you sort of got me there but I’ll add that Tulane is a private school so I don’t the big town vibes get mixed in there.
-
he replaced Jen, I liked him for that if nothing else.
I don’t see this going well. Another good/better hire will quiet my apprehension or concerns about how upper academia views this and responds.
I’m probably overthinking shit again. Either way I don’t care that much.
-
Hell yeah! Chatch is back!!!!!!!! Spill the beans bro.
-
what’d you hear?
-
-
Fucking idiot is willfully ignoring how much Quook Nation is currently melting down because Phil threw a couple million at a conservative group in Oregon.
UW and DEI is fair game but the Oregon Druids are only being held back by Phil's arteries.
