Nancy Fahey leaving WashU for Illinois.

[WUPHF]

Rumor has it that the interim AD already made a call to Illinois Wesleyan...


























Though, I started that rumor just to make Ypsi squirm a little...

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Might as well put this to rest... they are doing a national search with applicants applying. I hardly doubt WashU will simply call another coach and hire them. They will go through the process with this one. Who ever gets the job will have to step on the "Mark Edwards and Nancy Fahey Court" every day. Think about that challenge for a moment.

I thought I had a pretty good joke going, but unfortunately you got to it first...

We don't even have an Athletic Director...of course they are doing a national search.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

Yeah.. I didn't want the pot being stirred. The story is too big with this job.. we don't need to be source of rumors or misinformation.

Congrats to Coach Fahey.  D3 will miss her!  I'm sure Wash U will look at other head coaches, but do their due diligence and look at the Fahey coaching tree that will have past ties to Wash U, the Geno Tree, like Berube at Tufts, the Gromacki Tree, and probably some D1 Assistants just to name a few.

You truly have a cruel streak!

Surely, no one read the part where I said I made it up and thought there may be some truth to it.

You truly have a cruel streak!

Please know that it was done out of love and admiration for both you and the program.

Considering how far down you put it.. I can't tell you how many people may have missed it or skipped over it. Too much of a risk.

Nancy Fahey leaving WashU for Illinois.

I hope they are paying her well and fairly.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I highly doubt she would leave if that were not the case. You know she was treated well at WashU. She isn't jumping if not treated right... especially from her former AD.

[WUPHF]

The University press release announcing the news on Nancy Fahey had quotes from the Chancellor and Dean of Student Affairs.  Not a lot departures would garner that much attention.  Mark Edwards is also quoted, but he had more to say to the student newspaper who also talked to senior Jenn Dynis.

Worth the read for anyone who cares about the program.

Aaron Brezel and Student Life delivered on yet another worthwhile read on Nancy Fahey and Mark Edwards.
