Wash. Post: New Rutgers offensive coordinator starting from scratch
- Thread starter brodo_rivals
- Start date
Why is the Washington Post writing about Rutgers? Is Maryland too boring?
They aren't. It's an AP article.
"McNulty is Ash’s third coordinator in as many seasons. He replaces Jerry Kill, who retired after last season because of health issues. Drew Mehringer had the job in 2016."..........
technically true....... and sounds so much better than 9 OCs in 9 seasons........

If SL ran the story they would have highlighted the 9 in 9 thing.
Yes, plus there are quite a few of us Jersey transplants living in the DMV who might read an article on RU (though not quite the number from Pittsburgh)
Trivia question: Who is the last OC to have spent at least two full (playing) seasons at RU, and what years?
Yes, but the Post made the decision to run the article. A newspaper doesn't print everything the wire services send. Probably the Post sees a need to cover other B1G teams. Or maybe it was just a slow news day.
You have to bear in mind that "new media" has changed those rules, substantially.
Since web sites are no longer constrained by a column inch publication limit, they can run anything they want and not have to worry about space. Hence, the online publications will run a lot of content - especially shared content - that don't make it into print editions.
Additionally, the wire services have different subscription structures for online vs. print which make online content more attractive to subscribing publications.
uh.. was Frank Burns OC before he became HC? Or maybe his OC was a Rutgers guy?
Agreed.. the "decision" to use this article could have been a programmed/automatic decision as it is about a fellow Big Ten team.
Washington Post covers us better than NJ press. Should start recruiting WA players they know more about our U than the locals
I think you meant DC-area players. The Washington Post is not a Seattle or Spokane newspaper.
You would be amazed what we'll do when there's a slow news day. But more important, Rutgers and Maryland will forever be linked in the Big Ten, so why not?
