I think Hobbs should be made to take a walk of shame from the bubble to the RAC, and the embraced and brought back in to the family.
Forgive Hobbs
- Thread starter RobertG
- Start date
That is the biggest question left unanswered so far....Hobbs’ status.
All is well that ends well.
That is the beauty of "Eff Hobbs."
Now it means, forgive Hobbs.

If he runs out to pick up the tee after the kickoff of Schiano's return game I'll forgive him.
If this was his only issue I'd agree. But it isn't.
A complete disaster of 150th Anniversary. First no game. Second the back up plan being weak and announced just days before.
The Yankee Stadium game. Thankfully the Yankees / MLB bailed us out. He was adamant that is a good idea until the end. Giving up a home game to play at a baseball stadium in the Bronx.
Cancelling the UCLA series. Than stating that he wants to go to the Rose Bowl.
He is from Seton Hall.

Having first been at Seton Hall before transferring to Rutgers, I can tell you him being from the Hall IS his problem.
What's the problem he made Gary
Give in on most of his demands so he
Saved a ton of money for RU. Good job.

The important thing is he got it done. I can let the other stuff go. Schiano was the most important deal.
Nothing to forgive. The night the season ended we have a new coach. A good one. Nobody knows how much truth or lies were in the rumors.
In all seriousness, I would still fire Hobbs. He almost wrecked this deal.
He really has no clue when it comes to football. Just let Schiano run it all and we will be fine.
Let's not forget not firing Ash last year and then firing him 4 games in...
His demands for improvement of the facilities would only benefit the school. Everything he saved there is a loss for the program.
I am interpreting Hobbs' statement this morning as meaning he is staying. So I am with the forgive crowd - let's pull together and move forward.
I think he will be gone before the start of next season. He effed this up with his cockiness.
All of the above. None of it made any sense,
Also #118 Remembers. It was totally about his ego and a big scr*w you to the RAC footprint and its most loyal fans. Empty section every game is mind boggling.
Having said that if he leaves football alone, I'm still absolutely fine with him. I do think his heart is in the right misguided place. He gets credit for Pike.
I'm curious when is the Adidas contract up? Schiano was always a Nike guy.

No way. He went past the point of no return. Get that loser out of here.
Hobbs gets props for rallying this fan base and University like we’ve never seen before.
I’ll give him that, and that only after what transpired this past month.

When somebody stages a coup and fails, that person gets executed.
It scares me how close this community was to being dead.
I was ready call it quits.

From some indications he wasn't involved in the second go round.
I'll pass. I'm not buying into this nonsense that he realized he made a mistake so he went back and got the job done. He knew he had no choice unless he wanted to get fired. BTW, he also hired Chris Ash.
I agree, he tried a concerted effort to sabotage any talks because he didn't want them. Not because the fans or donors didn't want them. He had only his own best interest at heart, not the fans or donors, that is inexcusable. You're asking us to excuse him, simply because his plan failed.
Let him stay until the new president gets here. Do we really want Barchi hiring another AD?
