Buyouts

[Tequilla]

Jen isn't going anywhere

Then we’re fucked

 

[DerekJohnson]

Any ideas for a new / good AD?

To spread the pain out, the new AD should hire a new coach football coach (to protect and then grow the golden goose) while punting on Hopkins until after the 2022-2023 season.

I think the timeline is right

Jen sometime between now and end of Academic year

Jimmy fine after 2022 season

Hop you hope he can tread water until he gets to the last year of his contract and revisit at that point …

The other missing pieces in here are that you will need to likely turn over the balance of the Athletic Department to change the culture (no small task) and will almost assuredly be opening up the coffers for your next football coach (can’t miss on 2 hires in a row … need someone with instant credibility that can turnaround the damage Jimmy has left)

As for AD names, I don’t know resumes well enough but I would at minimum start by looking at those from the Big12 and if there is somebody in the SEC that makes a ton of sense.

Who is going to lead this charge to make all these needed changes?

Why does an unproven first time AD have any buyout?

Fire whoever hired her too

Do you believe only Men deserve a buyout?

I appreciate the passion of this thread, but a few helpful reality checks.

1. We are not poaching athletic directors from the SEC. maybe an asst AD.

2. UW used to pay coaches at a top tier level. That’s not the case any more. The pac 12 was left in the dust in this regard. The idea that they are going to absorb the buyout and make a no brainer hire is wishful thinking. They are gonna have to take a chance with a coordinator or an interesting Mwc coach type.

4. Cost of living in Seattle sucks compared to most college towns. Combine that with that we don’t pay top dollar. Not a good combo.

The program does not strive for greatness. So unless we get an up and comer at AD that demands success and can motivate the football head coach and basketball coach to strive for greatness themselves it doesn’t matter.

They are not firing Jen. The end.

I’m resigned to the fact that nothing will change …

I’m resigned to the fact that I won’t be contributing money or time going forward

CYA if ever by the president. One can only hope.

Those numbers will start looking cheaper when there are only 30K fans in the seats on crisp fall days.

Just trying to get my facts together before I start thinking about a plan of action

You planning a car wash?

One more question. I'll take my answer off the air: What's #scoducks/#wareagle's buyout? Could we raise enough here at Hardcore Husky to at least make that[/i] happen?

Depends on if she has a CONTRACT or not ...

I suspect that there are a good number of people in the Athletic Department that are on regular salaries and would be more tied to severance packages than buyouts
