While it's true Troy Dannen is kind of a cheeseball

[DerekJohnson]

He also seems a competent manager and handled an extremely difficult situation the best that could be expected. He also didn't let private bitterness toward DeBoer leak into the public discourse. He kept it Nebraska classy. I appreciate the job he did.

If Jen Cohen had been here, she wouldn't have withstood the pressure of the moment very well. Lots of calls to Peterman to confer. Private moments in her office with the door shut to have a good cry.* Probably would have ended up hiring someone like Wilcox.

Even though the program feels like it was stabbed in the back, and the jury is still out on Fisch... I still count the Fisch hire as a blessing, all things considered.

*I stole the "Jen having a good cry" line from @Swaye

He's also not afraid to work (and be seen) with political people. I don't recall Jen glad handing with politicians.

Seems like he's willing to do everything to improve UW and Football.

All those things are good, but execution matters. We're in an obvious LIPO mode for now that may be tilting favorably.

Glad handing with Jayapal is a savvy move that builds goodwill with the anti-football types in academia. He's starting to win me over and will seal the deal if/when he shit cans Hopkins.

Dannen gets it and I look forward to seeing who he hires as b-ball coach. He will feel that much better when Lake is off the books and then Hopkins will be too.
