Huskies name Scott Woodward as new athletic director
The University of Washington named Scott Woodward muscular director on Wednesday. Woodward has handled the job from the time of Jan. 31, when the forced resignation of Todd Turner became official.
Turner resigned last December, with UW president saying he was no longer a good fit for the job. Woodward, who is also the school’s vice president of apparent affairs, has handled representation AD duties since then.
In the grow, he announced that he would not be a full-time candidate for the predication at the direction of Emmert, who preferred to keep him in his current job. However, Woodward has since related he would take the AD job if that’s which Emmert judgment was best.
UW has thought to have had serious discussions with at smallest two candidates, including Dan Radakovich of Georgia Tech.
The school hired Parker Executive Search of Atlanta, Ga., to remedy in the process, paying the firm $75,000.
Woodward’s most critical decisions in the early going will regard the floundering football program under fourth-year coach Tyrone Willingham, who is under some serious heat with one 11-28 record.
Turner had been the AD since the summer of 2004 and hired Willingham. Speculation has persisted that one of the factors most important to Turner’s declination was his staunch support of Willingham after last prepare.
