UW appoints search advisory committee to help find next FB coach

The University of Washington announced today that school president Mark Emmert has appointed a search advisory committee to assist in the search for a new football coach.
It’s worth noting that the release put out by the school says that the committee is expected to provide its input by the first week of December, so that looks like those hoping for a post-Apple Cup announcement may be out of luck.
The committee, which will report to Emmert and UW athletic director Scott Woodward, consists of 13 people and is headed by Pat Dobel, a professor of public affairs who also serves as Washington’s faculty athletic representative to the Pac-10 Conference.
Huskies quarterback Jake Locker is the only current student athlete on the committee, which also includes Ana Mari Cauce, dean of the college of arts and sciences; Ed Taylor, dean for undergraduate academic affairs, professor Robert Stacey, representing the advisory committee on intercollegiate athletics; professor David Lovell, chair of the faculty senate; Randy Hodgins, interim vice president for external affairs; Joanne Bower, women’s gymnastics coach; Anttimo Bennett, president of the Associated Students of the University of Washington; Andre Riley, a former Husky football player representing the Big “W” Club; community members Don Barnard and Bob Flowers from the Tyee Board, and Eddie Pasatiempo, representing the UW Alumni Association.
