Head Coaches (future hires)

[Knight Shift]

Agree on #1
Same as above on #2
Explain #3 to me. We are not getting kicked out of the B1G after buying in.

#2 is BS. WTF? Got the Barnabas Center Funded. Got the Rodkin Center Funded. Got the practice fields for football funded. Lacrosse upgraded. Someone needs an objectivity check.
Could more have been done? Always. Rutgers does not seem to have any willing whales to make big donations, except for the Rodkins.

I swear- only our dumbest posters ever make a statement like #3. And they usually double down with suggesting it could still happen anytime soon.

next coach needs to be a HEAD coach already who WON games. No coordinators, no learning on the job. Let the coordinators learn on the job in the MAC and CUSA. This is the Big Ten, that plus SEC the most coveted jobs in CFB. We need to hire someone who was a HC and who WON a ton of games. Whether its someone from the AAC, MAC, Sun Belt or wherever that’s what we need to get.

Agreed. No on the job learning here.

Hobbs was not great but don’t get the F Hobbs in this reference. He didn’t even want Schiano and got bullied into hiring him. Blame the big donors here.

Hobbs had a personality problem with Schiano. Hobbs came from SHU - a non football school

Did he even know GS at that point? And I'm tired of the old "he came from SH". I think he learned a lot after the Ash experience and it's why he wanted Bielema.

He wanted to gymnastics coach even more. . . . . .

I 100% agree with that part (and have been saying as much for months) but Hobbs is the one that gave Greg an unwarranted extension resulting in his insane buyout.

At the time it was foolish, but he probably would've gotten an extension last year after the two 7-5 seasons in a row.

For the last time, Hobbs "gave" Greg nothing. The big donors and the BOG head were pushing this. Was Hobbs going to hold this up and be run out of town? Of course not. It's convenient to blame Hobbs, but a false narrative.

1) hired ash

2) never got programs the funding they needed

3) almost got us kicked out of the B1G

That's enough for me to not like him.

Almost got us kicked out of the big ten? What??

Who would have given it to him? Hobbs resigned before last season even began.
