The Oregon AD or Phil Knight's assistant hired Helfrich and Altman. Those aren't looking like great hires. Jeremy Foley at Florida has a mantle full of championships in football and basketball. He also hired Ron Zook and Will Muschamp. I would love to see the AD with a perfect track record.
The fuck?
The guy at Dook or maybe whoever's in charge at Stanford (Sears Cups holla)... but Helfrich is still an unproven commodity and Altman is looking pretty fucking good. Woody isn't even a top 50% AD. Oregon has gone from being near last in the Pac-12 in revenue to the top in the last few years, and I don't even think our AD is that great.
How we are ahead of you fucks who are located in the middle of the largest city in the PNW with a 70K stadium and twice as many living alumni (320K for UW vs. 160K for UO)... our guys are doing some shit right. And that is argument one for why your guy isn't all that.
It really amuses me that so many people think that building the stadium is a great accomplishment. Getting the stadium done is what I would call "minimal competence." Let's see, the UW owns the land, and has for over a century. There was already a stadium there, so zoning wasn't really an issue. It was a matter of knocking heads and getting donors to open up their pocketbooks, and of the 320K UW alums worldwide, 215K live in the state of Washington.
Earth to so-called halfbrains, your AD isn't all that great.
I'm hearing that Peterman wanted the UW job more than the AD wanted Peterman, so there's that as well. But please, let this guy and his cronies continue to run your AD. We probably need another ten years or so to really solidify our position as the premiere sports program in the NW.
