Barchi- delighted to be here. He is going to turn day over to Pat Hobbs. Barchi spent fair amount of time with Ash. He is right person for job. Intense and integrity on and off field and in classroom. Blew Barchi away. 19 years at top level of competitions. Ash has won respect of fellow coaches and colleagues and opponents. Barchi is thrilled. Moving forward to new chapter.

Barchi wants to say something about Hobbs--going nonstop 100 miles per hour 24/7. This is Hobbs' recruitment. He deserves thanks.

Hobbs up: Welcomes Ash, wife and 7 month old Brady and 14 year old Tanner, a football player, and daughter Jacy and mother in law. (Hobbs is 100% class). Hobbs thanks Ash--loves Rutgers, and says everyone at Rutgers loves Rutgers and want it to succeed. Hobbs thanks Greg Brown and Ken Schmidt.

Great Day for RU. Reread his statement from last week. 19 years of collegiate coaching. National champs, multiple conference champs. (Ash looks nervous)>
Ash is from Hayden Fry tree. Coach Ash will give best training, strength and conditioning and education. Not an easy job for Chris. He is right man to lead the time.

Reads quote from Urban Meyer Above the Line. Introduces Ash

Ash up. Wants to lighten room up. Honored and excited. Understatement. It was his dream to lead own program. He tells the Princeton start. Loves the state. Detailed and fast process. Thanks Pat Hobbs and Barchi--first class.

Thanks his family. He has best wife. He is trying not to get emotional. (getting choked up). Thanks his wife and his son Tanner. Tanner asks if Rutgers can get ranked. Thanks Jacy.

Message for fans, administrators--need POSITIVE energy--go in same direction---Organizational alignment is key--be the best you can be.

Wants to build first class program that players will be proud to be part of. Wants NJ kids to say home.

FAST PHYSICAL TEAM--RELENTLESS EFFORT__TREMENDOUS ENTHUSIASM!!!
