Shots Fired! - University of Washington AD Edition

[Thiefery]

After seeing those numbers, I completely see why @Thiefery puts Texas at the same level as Ohio State

Yes tosu is ELITE like Texas... Now go ahead and take money away from one of your lowly coaches to pay Jim the money you took from him

 

[Thiefery]

Does this guy think Georgia and Bama have small budgets or something?

Does a large sports budget guarantee victory? No, but it sure as hell helps

No, we are the only ones who have the biggest budgets.. I really do think he's saying this because they aren't getting full shares as new members.. so he's trying to rally his donors to close that gap i suppose

Then he needs to get advice from SMU.

lol he probably stole their idea first

 

[Wild Turkey]

How can you disagree with what he said?

I don't but as an AD I'm not putting out statements that are going to piss off other fanbases as that never works out well.

 

[ellupo]

Does anyone have the actual football budgets? I can find the athletic budget but not just football.

I don't know the year on this, but it's what I found.

I can't believe you can say that without busting out laughing. You've won 10 games ONCE in 15 years and you played 14 games to win 10. You must have 50 or 60 programs you consider elite programs if your bar is set that low.

It’s like looking at Iowa’s results. Only with more coaching changes.

I tried to tell you.

 

[DayButtAssMans’s]

lol @ Sark.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Maybe he should worry about Washington, who is pretty irrelevant LOL

He did say his goal was the Alamo Bowl so the bar is pretty damn low.

 

[Shanemansj13]

How can you disagree with what he said?

Ohio State hasn’t lost more than two games in a season since 2011, has a record of 60-7 going back to 2018, multiple College Football Playoff appearances in that time and three Big Ten titles. What the hell is Dannen talking about?

 

[Shanemansj13]

Could/Should Ohio State have won more Championships the past couple decades? Absolutely

But we haven’t won much lately???

Joining the B1G and pissing off the Buckeyes is a bold strategy!

View attachment 109122

Bowl ban year screwed them.
Last year they got screwed.
Really it's been one bad loss every season and their defenses struggled for years. Just wasn't enough to. The year they lost to Bama their defense was completely overmatched and the skill players for Bama was insane

 

[NewPhoneWhoDis]

Texas is the only team I know that considers itself an elite football program right now and they probably aren't even in the top 50 in wins over the last 15 years.

 

[wazzu31]

UW proving why only men should be AD’s. No one outside of Montlake or LA even realized UW had a new AD.

 

[NewPhoneWhoDis]

I tried to tell you.

Iowa has 110 wins since 2010. Texas has 94. Therefore -- Iowa is also in the Super Elite category.

 

[NewPhoneWhoDis]

Yes tosu is ELITE like Texas... Now go ahead and take money away from one of your lowly coaches to pay Jim the money you took from him

OSU has 151 wins since 2010. Texas had 94 since 2010. OSU is an elite program right now. Texas is NOT.

To put that in perspective. If OSU decided not to play football for 4 years and Texas went 14-0 each year. OSU would still have more wins since 2010.

bro we are elite man.. it's why ADs choose to bring our names up..

telling you.. he's upset that they are taking a smaller cut.. guess he's mad that espn isn't stepping up to pay the difference like ESPN is doing for UT?
