March 20, 20241 yr Wild. Originally from Iowa, Seattle must not have agreed with him. That’s a really short run for an AD to make a willing and at best, lateral move. Barnes? Edited March 20, 20241 yr by JabbaNoBargain
March 20, 20241 yr Author I thought of Barnes as well. Would not be surprised to see him make the move. Imagine the firestorm that would set off in beavland. I am sure the UW fans are putting a pretty face on this saying he simply could not pass up the opportunity to move closer to home. His football coach bolted (although he admitted to having an inkling when KD did not sign the extension) and the bball coach was recently fired. Lots of 'to do' items for the next person.
March 20, 20241 yr Moderator Yikes. In a year they've lost 2 ADs, DeBoer leaving (along with 20 out of 22 starters), and their men's BB coach fired. A quote from an article from a well-known Fuskies site about this subject: Quote The confluence of events over the last year raise massive questions about Washington’s overall athletics department. To have 2 separate ADs plus the football HC all choose to move to other jobs (the ADs both within the same conference) speaks to much larger structural issues. It seems clear that either financial, cultural, or institutional issues have caused everyone who gets close to the core of UW sports to decide they weren’t likely to have long-term success. Perhaps some of those puppy homers are starting to realize that UW isn't quite the destination they thought it was.
