“This is a totally different ballgame now for Washington. You're competing with Ohio State, Michigan, and Nebraska, who just took your AD for God's sake!”
He revs up.
“How does that happen? It happens by either Ana Mari Cauce stepping down and somebody else taking over or a new AD convincing Ana Mari Cauce to be a bigger partner financially with Washington's athletic department end of story. I mean, how long is AMC going to be on the job? I don't know. Rumors are flying around that she may be out of there in a year or so we'll see if that actually comes to fruition. I think that's what you're talking about. Chris, you're talking about a whole different attitude regarding sports from the top at Washington,” said Mahler.

Softy is kind of an idiot.
But he is OUR idiot I suppose.
Every football program hates the school president. Probably because they're nerds.
Anyways, Cauce may be a dud, but I haven't seen anything specific to put her in Guantanamo for.
I get that it is a what have you done for me lately business but Cauce did get us to the B1G. That was HER.
The longer list of fireable offenses between Cauce and Softy goes to Softy, rather easily.
If you were going to fire her it would be for DeBoer. Bama got him for 10 million a year. The way UW recovered from losing him was a credit to Cauce and the upper campus. Dannon Yogurt is a nobody. Fuck him
LIPO
Cauce hired Dannen.
The guy's family never moved here with him. One month in she should've been asking him WTF was going on.
Fuck you Softy. This wasn’t AMC’s fault. CEOs and other execs LEAVE! quickly for other higher paying jobs all the time. And like DeBoer, I’m sure Dannen got a heads up through back channels that the Nebraska job was a real possibility, so that’s why he didn’t uproot his family. He only wanted them to deal with the hassle of moving once.
What I DO blame AMC for is giving a goddamn interview at the airport acting like a deer in headlights saying how surprised she was. That’s not bad bitch boss energy. I would have preferred for her to say, “I’m appointing (insert name) as interim AD, and we’re going to make a great hire.” Then she starts calling the list of prospective replacements THAT SHE ALWAYS HAS AT THE READY BECAUSE PEOPLE LEAVE ALL THE TIME!
I would laugh if AMC was announced as Harvard’s new president. That would be the perfect bookend to all this madness.
Nebraska used the same search firm UW used. Sue their asses.
Jen and Dannon were just simply look bad for the school. That's about it. Neither are worth the money.
Deboer was a legit thing but now looking at it, Bama is paying him 10 mil/8 years for losing a Natty with someone else's players and his second choice for his quarterback. 25-3 is 25-3 but….I don't know man. I don't know. UW offered what, 9 and 4-5 years?
I guess the real problem is just that Nebraska SC and Bama have the full shares to just light money on fire and not give a fuck about that.
Thinking Dannen got a heads up over 5 months ago, right after he was hired, and him not choosing to move his family at that point is called bargaining.
It was definitely Cauce's fault that she made a stupid ass hire bringing Dannen in here.
HH sermon seekers actually defending UW’s President. What the actual fuck is going on around here?
That goes back to BobC's point that we need a bidnessperson running the AD. A university president is adept at navigating the waters of academia not big time football. She has done well when you consider that. I didn't like losing Deboer but it is done. Dannon was a good hire until he wasn't
Next person up
I didn’t hear Softy calling for Cauce’s head when I listened live.
He's delusional if he thinks UW is getting rid of their DEI fat
from one DEI hire to the next.
Dannon never wore leopard print. (That we know of).
Rumor has it he couldn’t fill these in the right places
Softy is missing the point as usual in all of this. He's blaming the president for hiring someone that wasn't a fit culturally with the university. Without asking the question if there is a culture problem at the university that is preventing the hiring and retaining the kind of killer we need in the AD.
This isn't to say that Dannen was a killer by any means. But he perceived himself to be which is really all that matters.
She got us there eventually, and on the half-share, but don't you think we had a crack (at least informally) at the first window when USC/UCLA bolted?
That's probably a question that you'll never get an honest answer to.
Like what Race alluded to, DEI meant that a fat bald midwestern piece of shit was given one of the cushiest AD jobs in the country. He showed up, was given some purple reign cigars, then Fisch was served up to him on a silver platter by UCLA, and then he made the easiest termination decision in the history of UW basketball.
This is why Twitter is unbearable too. Everything bad that happens you have retards spamming DEI and cougs spamming 'Half Share'. It's fucking exhausting.
