His hiring came amidst a whirlwind week that also saw the announcement of a candidate for the university president position. Dannen's track record suggests a good fit for football-centric Nebraska, and his departure from UW has left Husky supporters in shock. The interim president, Chris Kabourek, played a key role in maintaining stability during the transition, signing Fred Hoiberg to an extension and raise, and hiring Dannen, who appears to be a great catch for Nebraska.

Nebraska's New AD: Troy Dannen Hired from Washington

Nebraska is set to hire Washington's Athletic Director, Troy Dannen, in response to losing Trev Alberts to Texas A&M. Dannen, who had only been at Washington for six months, previously served as the athletic director at Tulane and Northern Iowa. His move to Nebraska comes as a surprise, especially since he had recently hired Jeff Fisch as UW’s football coach. The decision to leave Washington for Nebraska may have been influenced by Washington's inability to retain their football coach, Kalen DeBoer, who left for Alabama. Dannen's extensive experience in athletic administration and his ties to the region make him a notable addition to Nebraska's athletic department.
