Washington AD Troy Dannen is new AD

[Walleye79]

Lol - the entire fan base is butt hurt about the lack of loyalty from the last AD who up and left - so who gets hired?
A guy who up and leaves his current after fewer than 6 months after giving an impassioned speech about how the Washington job was his last

With a huge buyout and 6 yr deal. Learn facts

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.

Julie, used to go over all the time. Not so much anymore. Too much of everything over there with too many people easily leading the way. Seattle used to be so laid back. It is anything but laid back now. (and I got old). Back in the seventies and eighties when I was a young supervisor after working a 2nd shift, I would park under the viaduct along the waterfront and walk to the Central Tavern, Doc Maynard's or J&M Cafe in Pioneer Square to catch up with my friends. I think you would be killed if you did that now late at night. Well, the viaduct has been torn down and sadly, I think both J&M and Doc Maynard's are gone, too.

Insane. I assume this guy must have concurred on the Hoiberg extension.

Might be the quickest hire I've ever seen for NU. Now I'm kind of, a tiny bit, wondering if Trev was possibly forced out.

leaning to the same conclusion

 

[dinglefritz]

So Seattle and Minneapolis are places you definitely will get killed by a unhoused junkie. Good to know

It has certainly happened more than once in Seattle.

curated university media always looks pretty. above picture is detroit.

seattle is a shithole rife with homeless drug addicts

Looks like San Francisco and Oakland and Austin and Chicago in the summer and Portland……

Really good piece I have always like Brock seems like a straight shooter. And it’s a simple as he says if the family is not happy you have to find a place they will be. Thanks for posting.

 

[PeliniTheCrutch]

Probably needed to know him from his HS coaching days.

@PeliniTheCrutch He may agree or disagree, not sure, but DB is annoying.

As a coach:
Sometimes people aim to present themselves as something different than what they are.

As a radio guy:
Damn good though he sometimes talks out of both sides of his mouth

As a father of sons:
Man, great job Damon.

 

[bigboxes]

AVeritas, you should just become a Husker fan. You spend a lot of time here.

Right. Then he could spend his time annoying some other fanbase.

Trev found his life line out of his “problem area”, and Dannen found his “out”. Hope Dannen’s situation works out better.

And as a "teacher" well...haha

Learned a few things...4th FB coach in 5 years did he say? ...amongst the other turnover he listed? Yikes. That place must be a bigger shithole than I realized....

 

[RBigredMax]

i grew up with huskers. dentist, uncle, guys i played with at heelan, some even played at N, then there was the business career dealing with nebraskans, tietjen, mary, all of them. there's not a better lot of people, generally.

The quick hire of Dannen certainly makes one think.

Also, the "Destination" of TAM? I mean he should have went with Carter to OSU. TAM is every bit and more Fd than N when it comes to crazy BOR , boosters etc.

 

[HuskerAlum92]

Seems like a solid hire. Don’t like the quick stop at UW, but his regional ties helps me to rationalize that. Do like that we took a P2 AD. I like that the opening didn’t linger. I especially like that we have Trev’s replacement in place before we play on Friday.

A smart interim college president always has a few names in his desk drawer when his current A.D. is about to flake. That’s how the game is played.

Was at 13k followers yesterday before the switch. He's gained a few new followers.
GBR!!

Huge thank you. You are a true inspiration to the fan base and the board. Obviously your humble nature comes from your wonderful years of high school where you did stuff.

Wow, his family wasn't even moved to Washington yet.

No idea the ages of his kids but would assume they wanted to finish the school year.

In the Brock Huard video above, he said that they couldn't find a place to live. I don't know why that would be the case. He was making over $1 million per year.

The housing prices in Seattle are horrendous.


"In February 2024, the median listing home price in Seattle, WA was $799K, flat year-over-year. The median listing home price per square foot was $599. The median home sold price was $850K."

For those who don't know, Brock was a former QB at UDub. I try to catch his show (Brock and Salt) when I drive over to the west side.

FWIW, I have a feeling that Trev will eventually regret leaving Lincoln like he did. But that was his choice and nobody else.

Exactly! As others have mentioned I think he’s banking on having success at A&M to parlay it into an even bigger opportunity. However, the difference is at A&M nobody gives a damn you played for Tom Osborne. If their football program doesn’t reach the sky high expectations it’s boosters want he’ll be gone in three years just like their coaches.

Or you just ask Rhule who he wants.

Agree. But it is possible being in the SEC and B1G will open the door for him to be one of the commissioners or some other lofty position and we will both be wrong.

i appreciate that. kind of you to recognize contributions by outsiders to this board. good thing i'm not a rival iowa fan, i guess, or that would never happen.
