It's obvious to anyone watching that Chris Partridge is an excellent recruiter, and he takes special pride in punishing Rutgers due to his failed hiring by Flood. Is it time to make him a high-paid Rutgers assistant?
Chris Partridge
- Thread starter RU_bhustlin
- Start date
I think that ship has sailed. Flood should have stuck to his guns and hired the guy but that was Flood. Would love to see Charlie Partridge or Bobby Acosta as the 10th coach.
First, it wasn't a failed attempt. He used Rutgers to get he Michigan job and tried to hold RU ransom.
Eh. He's recruiting for Michigan. People here clamored over EJ Barthel and he never lived up to the reputation.
I can do the same job recruiting for Michigan and I never coached or recruited before.
Yeah, it's all Partridge. It has nothing to do with Harbaugh and Michigan where their biggest problem these days appears to be which 4* to offer.
Let's just win on the field and the recruiting will take care of itself. Right now he's impacting a little, but it's mostly with the PC recruits not many other schools.
Please list who he recruited for Michigan this year from the state of NJ. I must be blind.
Edit: Next list every recruit he helped recruit from NJ that wasn't coached by him.

and he was 2016 Scout recruiter of the year too..
The guy can recruit (and coach too). Maybe one day he will find his way to the banks but its going to cost a pretty penny.
Isn't that how Flood got all those kids to decommit too. He basically said if you commit you can't visit other schools.
He is not leaving mich but why on earth did we not hire him???? No brainier at that time especially.

Maybe one day our State will look like this. I'm not sure if he recruited all these kids but this is recruiting.

Lets face it, Michigan was cherry picking NJ talent way before Partridge was hired. With him, NJ has become a more targeted area.
RU should worry about the mid to high 3* NJ players and the 4* players that want to stay in NJ. There's no point in trying to recruit 4* NJ players that don't show interest in RU from the very beginning.
I also think that RU should think about getting an identity, such as a strong dominating offensive line, like Wisconsin. I think this strategy would work.
Just my $0.02...
Solomon was a 5* he got, he's a great recruiter outside of just New Jersey
find the NJ high school Coach equal to this guy and we will be well on our way,just ask DJ Durkin.

That doesn't look too far off from the NJ 2012 class. Need to do this a few years in a row and also strike gold a couple of times.
We were trending in the right direction. And then ... well you know what happened.
Great question. Everyone's memory seems to be a bit failing lately. This guy was the most hated coach in North Jersey. Flood did in fact hire him, then the other North NJ parochial coaches threw a nutty, swearing up and down they would never send another kid to Rutgers as long as Partridge was on staff. Flood pulled his job offer, and Harbaugh snapped him up to get in with Rashan Gary. What did he care if it annoyed Rich Hansen and Greg Toal?
Exactly. I'm very surprised that some of our fans are so blind to see that it makes no sense burning a bridge with a guy who will, for the foreseeable future, be an important character in college football and Nj high school football -
Jersey produces really good coaching talent, and for someone to do what he did up at PC is kind of crazy. He toppled a very old order of power in a few years.
It would be awesome if him and ash got their **** together and would work on the same staff. That would be partridges shortcut to a DC position and Ash would get the recruiting benefit he will need in a couple years (and actually be getting a good coach too).
They are both former linebackers... do linebackers like working with other linebackers ?
One of many idiotic threads here tonight. Some folks (not sure they are fans) are insufferable crybabies.
Well he just won recruiter of the year, so..

I think it's safe to put the whole Partridge can only recruit one school in NJ and that's all he's there for storyline to rest.
Wayne and Camden (of which some didn't even qualify)
Revisit this list when you can list Bosco and St. Peters Prep kids - which are schools that have actually sent quality recruits to Rutgers.
As mentioned before, Rutgers isn't gonna burn the Bosco/SPP relationship for what he accomplished in NJ outside of Paramus.
Lol are you kidding me 2 years out of HS football
While that may be true, Harbaugh is the real real reason these kids choose Michigan. fact is he has zero influence in New Jersey outside of PC and got one other kid in the tristate area. He would be little to no help to Rutgers.
