Any chance of a flip from Purdue? Maybe he joins his brother on the banks.... Does his style fit Greg's vision?

Ash was not a bad guy, he simply was irrelevant with no impact.
He will make an excellent DC somewhere that has good players

Sometimes you don't know what you don't know. Unfortunately, too much time and money went into his on-the-job training. Glad we're getting back on track now.

He may not be a bad guy, but..

The arrogance he displayed in his introductory press conference, combined with his disrespect for program history, rubbed a lot of us the wrong way.
Yeah, I think more people would be in line with Zap's point if Ash wasn't so dismissive of the recent success we had here under Greg and Flood to a certain extent. Getting rid of the spring awards which were named for historic Rutgers football figures was unnecessary and poor form.

Presume GS will restore those.

I agree with this.. we got a 1st time young head coach who IMO was taken advantage of. He didn't know what he was getting into, this is a special place that really needs a guy with vision and just plain old stubbornness to succeed. Ash was hired on a budget, and hamstrung with a weak assistant salary pool to boot. The guy had no shot. He also inherited a program in trouble. This is why although he ended up being bad, he can and will be easily forgotten. I will never forget what Flood did. He had no excuses, he was in the program, he knew what needed to be done. He inherited a full cupboard and he freaking slacked off and then pulled some shady **** on top of it. He is the cancer. Forever will be in my mind.

‘Never should have been hired.
Disastrous blunder by Hobbs.
Cost RU Athletics millions.
