Article I read said AD at Washington starting October 2023?
Washington AD Troy Dannen is new AD
- Thread starter GretnaShawn
- Start date
he was hired by Washington back in August, so he was.
regardless, i'm not commenting on the specifics of what he did. i'm commenting on the fact that Nebraska looked into the bowl of a championship team and said "yknow what, we're taking that because we can."
that's exactly the attitude we need moving forward.
Not true. All the articles about Dannen said day 1 at UW he was working with DeBoer on an extension.
Looks like a great hire.
And now we can move on from the fraud that was Trev Alberts.

I’ve never understood the benning hate on here. Dude is an awesome listen on the radio. He can’t always share everything but he gives enough for people with functioning brains to figure it out. Maybe people expect him to just blab and give up sources? Or is it something else?
Here’s football coach Matt Rhule on Troy Dannen: “I think Troy fits all the criteria that I think we’re all looking for. He’s an accomplished athletic director… He knows the issues facing college football. He’s an unbelievable guy. It’s no slight to the University of Washington, which is an unbelievable place — my sister’s alma mater — but I just know that he wanted to come home. He wanted to be here. I’m fired up. I’m excited to have him. I think the University of Nebraska took a step forward today.”
Don’t forget to add major woke city.
He was actually hired in October. The job came open in August when the AD went to USC .
Probably needed to know him from his HS coaching days.
@PeliniTheCrutch He may agree or disagree, not sure, but DB is annoying.
If Rhule likes it so do I. Trust the staff
Especially since Gold has been a NU Chancellor for years!
It shouldn't be. He's an actual proven AD, exactly what is needed. Knows football, great fundraiser. Someone like Glissman, as impressive as he is, does not possess the background and qualifications for the job.
I'm not saying its a good or bad selection because I just don't much about him. I'm just saying his name wasn't in the speculation of candidates I read.
dead on. Downtown Seattle has been ruined. Its like a zombie apocalypse with the addicts wandering around.
Because Nebraska is awesome and Washington is not as awesome.
Yes. Heading over to the west side on Friday and plan on taking the ferry into Seattle. Love that place!!
Might even head over to UDub to see the cherry blossoms.
who knows how it will all shake out down the road, but his credentials look very good. What I think is way beyond cool, is A&M is/was going to parade Albert’s out there, and now Nebraska can put Dannen out there and show that while Trev bailed, in a very few days, we hired a quality candidate who sees the great potential here.
So he’s got good established coaches in football, basketball, baseball, volleyball, and women’s basketball. He’s unlikely to need to do any hiring for a long time. I guess he can help fine-tune the department and move it forward with facilities and the coming revenue sharing programs.
You called it from the start, Pennsy, with Alberts. I didn’t see it and still think Trev was a good hire for us and the whole A&M thing is a head scratcher. Hoping Dannen is the good hire everybody seems to think he is…..
curated university media always looks pretty. above picture is detroit.
seattle is a shithole rife with homeless drug addicts
Guess I won't offer to meet your for coffee then.
We lived and I worked in downtown Seattle for years. Have attended Sounders games for years. Have family over in Kitsap County. I think I'll chance it.
