WA needs to get moving on this…. Agreed, but in the long run its more important to get it right than get it fast. Keegan's departure was only nine days ago.

I want them to get settled fast, so that we know whether Mansfield is coming to Minnesota or not. Minnesota needs an AC or two to get the recruitment going with all the craziness in the portal. LOL

LOL Sad violin for Minnesota being so unsettled about whether they raid one or two coaches from Washington....

Are we at the point where this is going to be announced after the first of the year? Is anyone still in offices/working at UW right now? Is everyone already in San Antonio?
Inquiring minds and all.

Pretty sure still working on it. Administration doesn't head down for the bowl until the 27th or 28th.

I heard the goal was to announce before Christmas, but I am not sure if the snow has slowed down things.
It took 10 days to hire KCook. It is the 10th day today. We will see if we get an announcement.

Is it plausible that it isn’t an internal hire at this point? If it was an internal promotion I feel like it would’ve been quick.

It would be sad if Mansfield doesn't get the job while his little brother is just heading to the SEC for his second head coaching job.

I know Washington is historically a good volleyball program, but what do you think the budget is for a new HC with their future conference status unknown? I know they held preliminary discussions with the Big 10 but who knows what options the B1G will have in a few years if they choose to expand again. If they choose to wait for their new media rights deal to end, they aren't adding again until 2030. This new coach's contract will be at least(!!) 4 years in a dwindling Pac 12, and maybe more.

Given the high cost of living in Seattle and the dwindling influence of the PAC 12,10,8 whatever, perhaps the UW job isn’t as desirable as some think.

Cost wise, it’s definitely a hard city to break into. Even a 300-400k salary isn’t very impressive. You could throw a rock and hit multiple households bringing that much in - tons of tech money there, in particular the desirable neighborhoods close to campus. Someone taking the Washington job should do it because they want to be the head coach of Washington, not because they want to live “well”.
