Yes you did. People like us weren’t looking to be right. But the signs were all there and many chose to ignore
Ash must go

Well said bac.
I forget, were you on board with the ash hire? IIRC you weren’t thrilled?
This is my biggest problem with Coach Ash. How can a B1G team get pushed around on the line of scrimmage by a Buffalo MAC type team when we have more size, speed and talent? Either our players are not motivated or our coaching staff is not competent at this level of CFB.
For me this is a torpedo to the tenure of our current coaching staff.
We all bought the Kenny Parker strength and conditioning mantra but what has it accomplished in 2 1/2 years, if anything?
Can we just hire the Buffalo coach? He can't possibly be asking for more money than Ash.
Side and speed yes...talent, that’s debatable, look at the recruiting ranking do this OLine...they were nearly all developmental prospects...OLine is the hardest to recruit for and takes the longest to develop...its not a good sign when guys play as freshman and sophomores unless they are 5* recruits...
Don't let him leave the building today!
I was okay with him but he was hardly on my radar screen.....didnt understand why we had people calling him a great hire...he was a hire that came with many risks, there was a lot of kool aid drinking because Flood/Julie mess got cleaned
Ash doesn't recruit particularly well. Player development is lacking. Game planning is poor. Game management is awful. What is Ash actually good at? To succeed he has to at least be above average at something.
This entire team has quit on him. All they're hearing from the coaches right now is white noise. It's the same mistakes week after week, kids don't even know when they're supposed to be on the field, on the sidelines it's just a defeatist attitude not one ounce of passion. It's over, they're not buying what he's selling any longer.
All the things we’ve discussed are 100% true and I would add his management if redshirts has been atrocious as well. Melton should not have played at all last year and Sitkowski should not have this year. Mismanagement as well as inferior coaching and recruiting. All around just a bad hire. Very very bad hire.
The flood/Julie mess is looking like a carpet stain compared to declaring this mess. The is house ready for demolition.

Fb is reminding me of what the B-ball program went through...moribund, and wandering through the lost valley of suck...let’s hope we don’t have to wait that long...
its too late already- You guys are even assuming Schiano wants to come back... its a complete scrap and rebuild job. Flood got it started, We hoped Ash would come in and salvage it but its def not any better talent wise. Results are worse because we're now fully depleted.
You would think with 16 OL you can pick 5 and get a somewhat cohesive line with a couple of 4 stars and mostly 3 star guys at that position. DL we all knew that has been weak for years now.
If Schiano hadn't come along, football and basketball could have wandered the valley together the whole time. Thinking of it that way, Schiano was a godsend.
Ash arguably owns 3 of the most embarrassing losses in RU football history, Kansas, Buffalo and 78 point Michigan disaster.
Well done.
Well done.
What, you think those kids will give up their only power-5 offer?
Well Kansas ain't going 11-1. Right now they're getting taken to the wood shed by Baylor and they blow.
Yes, losing to a MAC team should always be embarrassing, losing big to a MAC team is very very embarrassing
Sign me up - I wanted Greg back when we canned Flood...
Unlike Flood, who I knew was loser from day 1,
I was 100% behind Ash in his first year. He lost me half way into last season when it was evident he was in over his head. Never in my wildest dreams did I realize how inept he actually was until this season.
I would cut all 85 players along with Ash. These kids are a bunch of dogs (and not in the good way).
I'll say something postiive. With the number of ole tackles our defenders make, they would have great futures as bull fighters.
Wait until later this year. November will be a whole new low for Rutgers Football.
The best would be a former successful NFL coach. They are professionals at the highest level, they know what they are doing. Lovie Smith is an example. The down side is maybe they would feel too good for college football and would coast.
Assistants are more miss than hit. Schiano was young, enthusiastic and crazy and got high school players excited about building something. He was a great hire. I wouldn't want him to be the coach now though.

Wrong on so many levels.
And schiano wasn’t run off. He took a head coaching job in the nfl.
Get some perscpevtive.
