Troy Dannen's departure for Nebraska is stunning, but shouldn't send you reeling
Athletic directors come and go. Washington will find another.
Troy Dannen spent Tuesday evening at the Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif., meeting with Washington boosters at the school’s “Desert Social” event. The “intimate program” featured a moderated conversation with the athletic director, football coach Jedd Fisch and UW president Ana Mari Cauce.
Tickets sold out for what was billed as a “thoughtful discussion with UW leadership at this unprecedented and exciting time for UW athletics.”
I’ll say.
There is — err, was — no precedent, after all, for a UW athletic director leaving their post less than six months into the job, some 12 hours after meeting with donors, and in the middle of a search for a new men’s basketball coach.
At least Kalen DeBoer put in two seasons, right?
