Imagine his office tomorrow:

Admin assistant; good morning mr Hobbs...how was your weekend?

Hobbs; had better...

Admin assistant; well anyways, you have 7560 emails and the voice mail filled up...please don’t make me screen them!

Hobbs; any thing else?

Admin assistant; oh yes, president Barchi would like to see you in his office...ASAP

Hobbs; f***!

A few weeks ago, I felt that Hobbs is going to get canned just because of the notion that softball players came to him multiple times complaining of abuse, and apparently not much was done.....in 2019. On paper, that sounds 50 times worse than what Pernetti was forced out for not doing.

I don’t think you’ve heard the last of that story.

Is the person who created this petition 12 years old? A picture of a clown, and an unsubstantiated accusation that Pat Hobbs "sabotaged" the hire of Greg Schiano? Grow up.

For some reason your post has me cracking up — Not sure why, but I had seen the petition and the clown. LOL

laughing so hard , I think I may have suffered a mini stroke. :)

Ash's performance did not seem to matter until Hobbs felt some pressure building.

Hobbs was a political hire. How else does a Big Ten school hire two ADs in a row with ZERO football background.

As a political hire.. I doubt his performance in football.. which should be at least 60% of his job at the Big Ten school... I doubt his performance matters. He'd rather not give up any control to a man who knows what has to be done. He can do better.. he can save Rutgers Football... and if he doesn't.. no big deal. He was a political hire. The politics have not changed.

Not a shot at you at all — your characterization of the petition was spot on and priceless.

Disregarding my feelings towards Hobbs at the moment.
We don't need to agree on the petition or whether firing Hobbs is a good idea. We are here to discuss and debate these things.

Not a political hire, unless you consider the University counsel's recommendation political. But go on . . . . .

Is it not true that the very biggest donors could demand Hobbs step down? Even if they don’t care about the opinions of rank-and-file fans, At some point Losing big donors that are depended upon would add up.

honestly, I thought you might enjoy knowing that you cracked me up — there is nothing in your post that deserves criticism and that wasn’t my intent.

Sorreeeeeee!

Earlier I read you may sometimes take things too personally — this may be one of those times.

I will henceforth laugh in private.
