Ash's Ten Year Plan

[chase07470]

This is how I feel in a nutshell. The program is dead to me until Barchi is gone and I have no interest in speaking with Pat Hobbs either for that stupid fvcking contract he agreed to, IDGAS how other sports are doing, football is and always will be numero uno. We will have 15k people at our games AGAIN this year as we go down 3-4 TDs by halftime against anyone and everyone. It enrages me.

Its exactly what the situation is. INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT DRIVES EVERYTHING! if you're a coach with options, you go to the situation with the most institutional support. You're a player, you go to the situation with the most institutional support. What you don't do, is go to a place where the institutional support is questionable. Where it's weak. Where it could be taken away. That's Barchi's Rutgers. That's his legacy. The record speaks for itself.

I think Flood was a disaster with or without IS. To be a great HC you have to have energy, passion, high intelligence, high football iq, determination and desire to be the leader and all that goes with it...Flood's a good guy but he lacks huge percentages of every category required in his inherent make up. If you can't see that, don't ever have an opinion on coaches because his shortcomings are obvious and you don't see it.

Ash would benefit greatly from IS. But for what Rutgers is, we needed more of a bs'er, a talker, a dreamer, a pied piper of the program. He's not that and a huge mistake of Hobbs to hire a guy with an obvious, assistant coaches' personality, given all that that person would need to overcome.

Any success a HC could have had here over the last five or six years would have come down to a vision and the ability to sell it. Otherwise,what else is there? Not nearly enough.

If he did decimate the program, was it due to laziness or incompetence?

I don’t think ash is the guy,but man I hope I am wrong and he figures it out.

How’s Ash going to figure it out with no QB, mostly 2* talent, and running an offense past its shelf life.

Those are three primary examples that he just doesn’t have what it takes to win.

The guys running great programs are superstar achievers. Daily. Extremely talented, rare finds. It involves hundreds of people, hundreds of moving parts with 60 teenagers at the core of it.

I always thought Flood was a good guy, a good professional but like the rest of us would, he got eaten alive with the challenges of running a program.

You shouldn’t be comparing flood to guys and gals on a message board. He should be compared to other football coaches and not all would have whiffed walking into a team that was good enough to win the sugar bowl . He was a terribile hire, but not the worst hire Tim pernetti made.

Everyone thinks their place is unique, I don’t think there’s anything particularly unique about such and such place without status. Yes they may have some individual circumstances but they all have uphill battles. It’s really about acumen, fit, etc and that’s inexact like I said. Flood was from here it didn’t work out. Ash isn’t from here it’s not working out thus far. Other coaches are successful in areas not native to their backgrounds. So who’s to say who will and who won’t work.. again inexact.

Agree with a lot of what you are saying. My only input would be that RU is unique in that a large majority of the best players in the state play for parochial schools and we have to compete with a pipeline that goes to the big Catholic Univerities like BC and ND. I don't think there are other big state universities that compete with the concentration of talent like NJ has at the Catholic powerhouses. Kids who go to Bergen Catholic, Don Bosco and Paramus Catholic don't usually look at Rutgers as their destination school.

We've landed some good kids from those schools sure, but the Penn States and Ohio States don't have that inherent competition in their states like NJ does.

Thanks. Pernetti knew it too. He didn't want to hire Flood. But when you're within a few hundred grand of a deal with Crystobal and your President tells you to let him walk rather than come up with a competitive salary, what confidence can you possibly have that a further search will result in anything other than another coach not willing to be underpaid to come to Rutgers? While your recruiting class walks? So you hire a guy you know doesn't have that special make up to be effective at this level. I never blamed Tim for that hire. The cancer Barchi forced it.

When is that guy going to go? He's been here a long time. Please leave, Barchi. You're like an obstacle standing squarely in the path the University needs to go.
