Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Anyone have the scoop on President Young?

Calls himself as a football president. To his credit, he did "oversee" what happened @ Utah, including '08

    Who is to say? I mean Gerbding was president during UW's best years but he wasn't a good football president at all.

    Just curious if anyone has a clear read on the guy, he's a decision maker. The root of the problem includes AD.

    Our Board of Regents is, how to put it...a little more "progressive" than I remember back in the day.

    I'd rather have this guy as AD than Woodward.

    If Young does not bring in his own AD, Sark stays however long he wants. What I've heard about Mormon Young is that he was ran out of state in Utah because he divorced his wife of more than 30 years. He resigned May 2011 to take the UW job, his fiance and him jumped on his Harley, they rode off into the sunset, up to Seattle and married less than a month later. UW hired him simply to generate $$$ from their research, turning research into businesses/companies/capital= dollars, which is what he was known for and successful @ in Utah. However, from what I've heard so far, he is not delivering. Rather, it sounds as if Young is merely sitting on his ass and milking his UW job, almost as a sort of retirement package, with his new trophy wife, UW Pres. mansion and Harley in tow. In other words, he has been a huge disappointment.

    My only hope is he brings in Utah AD Chris Hill (http://utahutes.cstv.com/school-bio/utah-athdir.html), whose notable hires include Rick Majerus and Urban Meyer. I don't give a fuck, anybody who hired Urban Meyer to his 1st "major" college head coaching job has my vote of confidence. I emailed the Mormon my concerns, to bring in Chris Hill, provided statistical data from 7WS' miserable UW tenure, but he did not personally reply. Rather, he had a staff member reply to me. That reply left me feeling worse than before that we will nut up and hire a quality HC. Unfortunately, I think we are fuct for a very long time. I encourage any and all of you to email him to voice your concerns and include that you will not be attending any Husky games until a change is made: president@uw.edu

    Good info - dovetails with what I've heard.

    Young came to the UW after sleeping with the wife and daughter-in-law of U of Utah's two most generous donors.

    Perhaps there are more, which means blackmail is possible. I'm holding out hope

    I sent Young an email. Probably a waste of time, but fuck it. I wish the rest of the fan base wasn't a bunch of pussies. I bet over 50% of the people who attend or watch games still support Sark. Some people would support anyone, which was proven in the Ty years.
