Look, I understand everyone loves him but he can’t recruit, and he can’t get the right personnel on the field to even stand a chance. They were getting beat at times by Texas St. He doesn’t even develop these guys- I understand he’s a great guy, but coaching comes first!
Blazek Needs To GO
- Thread starter RutgersNation15
- Start date
If you're a top recruit looking at B1G schools - with offers between RU and OSU - a player would be flaky to go to RU. This RU team would struggle in the BE. I dont know how to fix recruiting except maybe a celeb coach with NFL cred - or a coach like Ron Zook who takes players on boat rides with THOTs

I don't believe it's Blazek. The problem is Rutgers can't recruit against the likes of Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan State, Michigan, or Wisconsin. Probably won't change in my lifetime.
If RU doesn't score against OSU today, Ash needs to feel the fire of the hot seat. 3 games and 0 points against OSU is beyond pathetic. Send him back to Drake where it's more his speed.
But we get all the hidden gems.
Ash is safe as can be the cheapest school and fan base owes him 10 Million. He is is not going anywhere. He is free to continue to recruit non BIG type players because none with power 5 offers are coming. Are we gonna start a Fund for a new coaching staff? Lol I’m sure all the diehards will step up like they did with the BIG Fund.
Plenty of mid-majors have played competitive games against all of those teams.
Even Oregon State who went 1-11 last season and is arguably the worst team in football played Ohio State better last week.
We need to stop using this excuse. Boise State didn't need it. And speaking of, Chris Peterson turned a mediocre Washington program into a giant in no time.
It's coaching, plain and simple, and it has always been coaching. After 3 years, a defensive guru should have been able to make improvements.
Yeah, please do. You are a major dick on this board. Going to ignore on you.
Blazek is actually very highly regarded in the college and high school coaching communities.
He's not highly regarded by D1 defensive lineman.
Then why can he get no good recruits???
Of course you do. Never see anything positive from you, but you like to crawl out from under your rock on days like today.
It is very tough these days being a Knicks, Mets and Rutgers fan.

Nah lol. Hes bringing studs to a dud
Add the Giants after tomorrows game and you got it rolling.
He has developed a pipeline to Sweeden for big athletic kids tho...
Opposing D1 defensive linemen love him. Potential D1 offensive linemen, not so much.
We dont blitz in games so maybe our OL practice against no pass rush......
The other team scored 52 and Rutgers scored 3. Which RU coach did a good job?
the the problem is coaching, plenty of other schools have competitive the problem is coaching, plenty of other schools have competitive games against the big boys with far lower-rated recruits. I get it no one wants to admit they are wrong but the truth is, Ash is not a good coach
I do not think you understand how hard it is to develop college linemen. Our team is very, very young. It also does not help when a team does not have to fear the pass and can bring as many as they want.
We litterly don’t have a RT. He was an undersized, out of shape DL that was converted.
I'd guess Raiqwon will be the RT by end of season.
Blazak recruiting and this new guy on Defensive line Coach recruiting is MAC level at best.
Not sure anyone would have good results here when playing UM, OSU, MSU, PeddState, Wisky and Nebraska...
I'm starting to think nothing short of Urban Meyer himself (or an equal) can get it done in our current situation - Rutgers and B1G East.
Blazek was offered a job at Iowa this past year, he turned it down. .he got a pay bump..He is highly regarded as a O-line coach..If we want a better Oline coach I heard the pro team Atlanta Falcons have a great coach..K.Flood..
