And maybe, just maybe he wants to start his new job - his first crack at being a 1A college head coach, which likely will affect his career trajectory for years (or forever) - on the right foot. I don't even understand the question and I remember how bad it looked for both Shea and Ash that they didn't start immediately at RU, especially when there was so much work to do. Zero issue with Coach H leaving immediately and wish him well.
Because he's not Terry Shea or Chris Ash. Most coaches aren't.
He opted out, he has a new job, new commitments. No different then GS signing with TB on 1/26/12 and National Signing Day was 2/1/12
I believe it was nothing because he could leave to become a Head Coach.
Used to be awhile ago but just like HC contracts have gotten inexplicably longer so have assistant deals, although I don’t see them as detrimental to financial health as the HC contracts. 2 and 3 year contracts are fairly usual these days.
What the hell does that have to with anything? Coaches stay on for Bowl games all the time. UMASS wasn’t going to a Bowl game ..as they haven’t for 20 years. Signing class was long over.
Name another new HC from this season that stayed.
I totally agree with White Bus. If an assistant has a good relationship with the head coach he doesn't leave the head coach, who helped him attain a more favorable position, high and dry for one last game. At no time have I read or heard Coach Schiano state he will miss his former DC, or that it will be difficult to replace his expertise, or to play the bowl game without him. Maybe it's just Schiano's arrogance about his knowledge of defense. If it was; he really failed our defense in that bowl game as a coach! I still think there was something more to the story.
You actually are not agreeing with White Bus. Don’t want to put words in White Bus’ mouth but he is saying the opposite of you.
Huh??? You aren't agreeing with me! I said the complete opposite. No new HC stayed with their former team this year for a bowl game. Add that to starting this thread and you are having a very bad day!
I wish there was a way to see what monikers are associated with an ip address. There are way too many people that post with similar styles that pop up. That guy and another in this thread and others are eerily similar.
Three buyout scenarios in Harasymiak's contract based on the date he quit;
As some tried to make you understand he left before the bowl because of his new responsibility
Been thinking a bit on this. I think it went this way:
How many times in the last 10 years has Rutgers scored 40 plus points. How many have they lost scoring 40 plus.
He also said he needed to get there to assure current players before they jumped into the portal.
Stay for basically an exhibition game rather than get started as a new HC? Why would he.
