Jen Cohen spotted at LAX

Hired Lake when that would have been the hire no matter who the AD was. Hired DeBoer and most of you mocked it.

It’s a loss.

Afraid/lazy AD's promote the assistant. Not to mention the program was trending down with that staff at the time.

Tedford/Petersen ultimately got DeBoer in here after her own candidates fell through.
 
Jen Cohen was negotiating the BIG deal at the same time as she was with USC and limited us to 50%. Same as USC did when they prevented expansion with Big 12 schools. Pretty amazing.

Having said that, I have a solid wife. Upon hearing the news she texted: "lol it's Sark all over again haha. Didn't they learn from taking our people last time lol good for us?!"

 
I have a hard time believing she would happily jump ship to USC unless she went to Cauce with a salary number in hand and was told no way in hell would she get close to that amount. Cohen allegedly bled purple and shit gold. It appears that Cauce is becoming the modern day Messiah for UW football.

Here is how I'd rate some moments from her tenure:

Good[/b]
- Hiring Deboer: Although he wasn't her first choice
- Stadium renovations: This probably would have happened regardless of who the AD was

Neutral[/b]
- Hiring Hopkins: At the time this was an intriguing hire but in no way a "splash" hire. Coach in waiting behind Boeheim, good recruiter and tied into team USA basketball
- De-prioritizing football during the pandemic: Not sure how much of this was her fault

Bad[/b]
- Firing Jimmy and paying him his full salary
- Hiring Jimmy: Some reasons to think he was a good hire but also reasons to think he had worn out his welcome
- Brand/Game day experience: Can be so much better

That list just screams "mediocre" to me.

What else would you throw on here/change?

It's a grand-slam hire, for sure -- for UW.

For Trooj, it's more like an infield fly rule out.

I wonder if there exists a legal loophole to pursue here -- though we'd never pursue it.
