Well, throw Chaves into the equation... He was a great administrator and I think was generally well respected by the coaches. But he was very hands-off on fundraising, and after the Gateway Project fell flat, seemed to want to dance around facilities questions. One of these two will have big shoes to fill on the administrative side, but if they can get the money situation right- especially if they have the ear of the President- it would stand to help the athletics department out in a huge way.

The number of posts a fan has made on a lightly used forum should not preclude him or her from expressing their opinion. I welcome the perspective and encourage others to share theirs. Be cool, man.

Interesting. I’ve got to think that Hickey’s the frontrunner at this point. I just don’t see her coming in as the interim unless she was promised that she would be the clear favorite to get the permanent position.
Sounds like the football staff is pleased with the job Hickey has done as an interim. I was pleased with the fact she had a clear direction and had the balls (or ovaries, if you will) to clearly state that the AD is under budgeted to the tune of $4-5mm. Eastern cannot continue to hope to be a championship level athletic department with third world funding levels.

Excellent choice. I think we got someone real good to come in and keep the ship going. The future looks bright.

I was at presser yesterday, what a show, much different than the last 4 AD announcements I have attended.
The new event room is done on east end of court, very very nice. two offices and large event area.
We had band, cheerleaders, Swoop, even several facility and administration staff. These were never seen at past AD announcements, best attendance ever 100+. I talked to coaches and they are very happy with this choice.
Get your wallets out they are coming!

I'll be the first to admit I was starting to hit the panic button with Chaves leaving right after Beau & Hayford. So far I have been very impressed by what I've read about her as well as our new President.
I was very concerned EWU was going to start cutting even more funding in the Athletic Dept but it appears just the opposite in the long-term strategy with the emphasis on donations. IMHO, this is the only way EWU will stay relevant in Football and Men's Bball.
Living in the Seattle area, I'm not able to make many of these events so I'm limited to what's posted here and Jim Allen's coverage in the Spokesman.
I would like to see alumni/fundraising events in Seattle as well as Portland as I'm willing to bet the avg income of alums is higher than ones in the 509.

I like the optimism, but when it comes to big investments... I have a "believe it when I see it" attitude. I've seen three press releases about Woodward / Roos Field expansion over the last 20 years only for nothing to ever happen. Anyone who can pick up that ball and run with it is a hero in my book.
