    Rutgers is willing to pay $2M-$4M for new Coach(allegedly)

    First of all, this REALLY has not been that long. Second, for all we know we COULD have a coach by Monday. We may be looking at someone who is playing this weekend or we may be conducting several interviews to choose the right man for the job. There are plenty of reasons to do this...

    Cristobal is coaching tomorrow too, if you believe he's a legitimate candidate.

    Another Reason Can't be Golden - Divided fanbase Day 1

    I generally agree with this topic. Golden is extremely polarizing. Someone like Ash or a less well-known coordinator, or a head coach who has not been a coach at a p5 school is not going to polarize the fan base. He'll be met with a cautious optimism from most, and a minority of skeptics who...

    Bronco Mendenhall to UVA

    Pretty good hire for them, but not someone who was on our radar which is good. The possible landing spots are dwindling now. Just hope we can land a top target.

    Pat Flaherty intersted in job, but are you interested in Pat Flaherty?

    We Will Be A Laughingstock

    I think one of the biggest logical pitfalls with something like this is "Well, Golden recruited NJ well at UM, so he'd do the same at RU." Which is just a very bad, very incorrect line of thinking. In a lot of cases Golden didn't recruit those kids, Miami did. The city, the program, the "U"...

    We Will Be A Laughingstock

    I agree with the premise here. Hiring Golden after his spectacular flame out at the U would be an awful PR move. If he couldn't hack it in the ACC Coastal division, what leads us to believe he can succeed in the B1G East division? His brand is just too tarnished right now to think that he...

    Just sharing

    I've posted before (as evidenced by my 2011 join date) but somehow prior posts were lost? :confused: Anyway don't get me wrong. It's a good thing that we're contacting the absolute biggest of fish, but anyone getting their hopes up that we'll land one is setting themself up for disappointment...

    Just sharing

    People need to relax a little on this. Yes, these guys have been contacted. It is just part of the due diligence that is appropriate from an AD/Hiring Committee at this stage of the game. There's no disincentive to kicking the tires. Of course you send out feelers to Mark Richt, Dan Mullen...
