That worked out well. Let's roll with Caple's choices again. Maybe we can get another bald interim AD? One can only hope. That way we can prepared in September for our real bald hire.
If y'all took Damon Huard and named him Joe Cuntingham, with no relation to the program, you'd likely be fine with it, by the sounds of it. FOH. Get the best man for the job. If it's Huard, that's great. If it isn't, that's also great. Huard being dismissed for no reason at this juncture? This aggression will not stand, man.
Yes. Fundraising and football. This is what Damon does. He's done it for years with multiple ADs. He's working in the exact position you would want a up-and-coming AD to work in in today's college football. This is not like Lynn Swann who fell up into USC AD after co-owning a failed arena football team in Pittsburgh. Let's not equate the two. This is not a learning on the job type of situation. Damon has been doing that already for years. He works in the UW AD office, fer chrissakes. Damon knows this program and the AD office better than any of these other guys. He will care and he will stay. I can't figure out the logic behind dismissing him. Maybe he's not your first choice, I could probably get behind Barnes or Chun, but Damon should definitely be in the mix.

lmfao I clicked to make a joke about Damon being the candidate. Is this real life?
Too soon!
Caring helps a lot, people who are passionate about what they do are more likely to succeed, but they also need to be good at what they do, period.
I know Damon has experience with the progrum in a schmoozing capacity, so that means he will be a good choice to hire the next basketball coach?
They aren't mutually exclusive, obviously, but wouldn't it be nice to hire someone who has experience doing well at both things?
Too soon
@BleachedAnusDawg gives a shit about the program. Doesn't mean he should be AD.
Quit plagarism my shit, tafto!
I actually didn't see your post. LOL

If Huard gets named, we will have the final piece of the puzzle that Phil Knight is UW’s master once and for all.
It makes too much sense in a bizarro world kind of way.
Edited to say I guess I do care who it is.
I think Damon would do well. Fundraising and placing a premium on football is most important.
I’m sure they’ll get another person not from the left coast, so we can have this conversation again in a year or two
CARE about football and Hire Brandon Roy as basketball coach.
Race already made this joke. Yours is a retard redux.
Search firms and agents do the hiring.
Brock usually has a good opinion
This list is lazy for the most part and doesn’t drive change into the department
You need a REAL AD moving into the Big10 … not someone learning on the job
I’d be OK considering Barnes on that list … everybody else is a fairly hard no for me
My list would be:
If Damon is somehow hired, Kim's years of jock-sniffing him around his winery will have paid off
Ok let’s recycle through people who don’t care then.
