    If only some half brains had predicted Marinerization of the program more than a decade ago...

    UW averaged 61,919 fans per home football game last season, down from 64,508 in 2014 and 68,769 in 2013, the year the new stadium opened. Improving attendance in 2016 is one of the department’s biggest priorities. “Our gate is not where it needs to be in football,” Cohen said. “Our ability to fill this stadium is the single-most important thing we can do for all of our programs to be successful. So that is my job, 24/7, is to be thinking about that, focusing on that, and certainly if we could improve that situation over the course of the next couple years, our financial outlook will look different than it looks today.”
    Story.

    Has she been given the job already officially because she's speaking like she has. If UW is still trying to put on the illusion of a search, but letting her make comments like that, I'm surprised that I'm surprised.

    The "search" has always been an illusion. That's the Udub model these days. Same as it ever was.

    And even if the illusion wasn't real and they were actually conducting a legit search, not only as interim AD, but in her prior capacity her focus was based on the football side of the ledger. So her comments aren't out of bounds from that side of things regardless of what viewpoint she's using.
