?????
Sorry about the old post but it is always valuable to learn from history - just another example of the epic mistake Hobbs made. Of course neither Hobbs nor Ash fixed this as they alienated all the ex-players. Proud of my post and it stands true - remember all the ex players surrounding the sidelines during games during the Schiano era? (now just crickets including my friend who is still pissed at this ***). Hobbs must go as well as Ash - just can't trust Hobbs to make a good choice.I know first hand from past players from the Burns era that Dick Anderson did the same thing during his run as head coach -Past players were just no longer welcomed - It took years (and ultimately Schiano policies) before some of those guys got back in the fold. This needs immediate attention from Hobbs/Ash.
Sorry but had to get this out there - just another example of the epic mistake Hobbs made. Of course neither Hobbs nor Ash fixed this as they alienated all the ex-players.

You are coming across as weak and incompetent.And what do Ash and Anderson have in common? Both recommended by opponents and hired by weak incompetent AD's . Learn from history!
So you get personal - just a sign of the weakness of your position. But I will play along.You are coming across as weak and incompetent.
Before you make any proclamations, how about you give Pat Hobbs a chance to deal with the situation. Your constant ranting and raving is tiresome.
You don't have all the facts as usual, and you are just popping off, like an unhinged lunatic. Your screen name is fitting, because you sure do like to let it rip.So you get personal - just a sign of the weakness of your position. But I will play along.
Here is my question - Do you trust Mr. Hobbs to make the next head coach choice. After all this is a guy who is running an athletic department from whom I just received in the mail my season ticket prep package with the "Beat Indiana" "Beat Buffallo" etc etc stickers. The guy is a lawyer with "No" college football experience at all and little administrative experience. But since you are so connected please tell me why I should trust him to make the right choice??
Not ranting - just stating facts that you do not like to hear nor do they fit your narrative. It is Hobbs department and sending out material 6 weeks late is a very valuable indicator of how the Athletic Department is being run. It is his department. A year as an interim AD at a basketball school does not qualify you to run an athletic department at a B1G school. I think the results so far back up my position.You don't have all the facts as usual, and you are just popping off, like an unhinged lunatic. Your screen name is fitting, because you sure do like to let it rip.
1. Do you really think Pat is licking the envelopes shut with the stickers?
2. True, he does not have college football experience. But he does have AD experience as the interim athletic director at Seton Hall from 2010-11.
3. He also had a very successful tenure as Dean of Seton Hall Law School for 15 years. During his tenure, he navigated the Law School through a really difficult financial situation when law school enrollments plummeted nationwide, starting in 2018.
So, to say he has no administrative experience makes you look really foolish in view of the facts. I am sure you are going to shoot back with, "what good is this in being an AD of a P5 University." He made hard decisions while interim AD at Seton Hall. He fired Bobby Gonzalez and the women's hoops coach. He fired Eddie Jordan soon after he took the reins as Rutgers AD.
I know Pat. He is not tone deaf. I have no inside information, and I would never share inside information here even if I had it.
Pat has a policy of not commenting on the status of head coaches until the end of the season. Instead of being a nonstop insult machine and crybaby, why not wait until the year is over to judge Hobbs on his actions?
I'm done with you. You have no facts. You are a ranting lunatic. You have not facts, just your unhinged opinions. Just let it rip, dude.Not ranting - just stating facts that you do not like to hear nor do they fit your narrative.

Cannot judge Hobbs as you have... but the very idea that we hired him instead of someone with FBS Football experience as AD was just foolish... especially following the hiring of Julie that was the result of last minute dictate by an insider who wanted a woman hired.. instead of someone with the profile that the well-paid executive search firm determined was best for us.Not ranting - just stating facts that you do not like to hear nor do they fit your narrative.

They are all facts but they just don't support your opinion. Sad for you - there is nothing ranting about my past post except your personal attack. Nice technique - get beat in a argument, yell at your opponent and take your bat home.I'm done with you. You have no facts. You are a ranting lunatic. You have not facts, just your unhinged opinions.

Last post to you.They are all fact but they just don't support your opinion. Sad for you - there is nothing ranting about my past post except your personal attack. Nice technique - get beat in a argument, yell at your opponent and take your bat home.
Voice of reason!!!I had strong doubts about Hobbs when I witnessed him celebrating with Seton Hall when they won the Big East tournament. This was after Hobbs became AD at Rutgers. I similarly had strong doubts about Ash when he chose to remain at Ohio State for the Fiesta Bowl instead of hitting the ground running at Rutgers. Both of these clowns need to go.

Dude, that’s weak. Glad you’re not in charge. College football is like war.Fail to see that problem.
He celebrated with the coach he hired while he was interim AD. There were not Rutgers basketball duties to attend to.
??? What college football activity is going on in March?Dude, that’s weak. Glad you’re not in charge. College football is like war.
Fail to see that problem.

I forgot about that fact AP Knight. So we have an AD who celebrated on the court with an opponent and the head football coach he hired stay at his old school, also an RU opponent, to be a co-defensive coordinator in a meaningless bowl game during prime recruiting season. Very consistent.Dude, that’s weak. Glad you’re not in charge. College football is like war.
Just to be sure, Hobbs is the AD right? And that AD position is about more than just Football and Men’s basketball right? I’m just not sure how being the AD and going to party with rival in-state schools is ever justifiable. Can he go meet those guys and congratulate them? Sure. Make a public appearance and party with them? I don’t think that makes any sense.Fail to see that problem.

He sure did start a new thing here, it's called embarrassment.It's not going to help with recruiting to treat former players like trash. I know Ash wanted to start a new thing here but I actually think it was not smart to get rid of the keep chopping mantra. It was something that was unique to Rutgers that the kids like. It would be like Miami hiring a new coach and getting rid of the smoke. Or Notre Dame getting rid of play like a champion sign. Granted Keep Chopping wasn't anywhere near that level but we can't keep rebranding ourselves every 4 years. And we can't forget about the players who played here who were actually good.

Did not know that and would like to see the policy. Does not change the original point of this post that the welcome sign that Schiano put up for ex-players has been greatly diminished. Just another boneheaded move by this staff. Reminds me of the original recruiting mantra “fence the garden”.@letitrip2 you do realize the lack of letterwinners on the sideline is mandated by the B1G and not Hobbs? For someone who said “that’s a fact” half a dozen times on this page, you sure did miss that one.

you mean an.........(wait for it).......well not a woman exactly - but a special kind of woman.
Nice response. The boneheaded move by this staff was not keeping the welcome mat open for ex-players - that is not limited to side lines passes.Are you seriously retarded? I just said it's the Big Ten's policy. How is that a bonehead move by the staff?
Ash's lack of success has empowered this troll. But, he is still a troll. A broken clock is still right twice a day. He is still a loser. He was right this one time, for all of the wrong reasons.
FAMILYIf there is no rule to prohibit him from participating then Rutgers just made damn fools of themselves...
Steve B is everything a Rutgers player should strive for.
