Young, Jersey ties, affordable, NFL experience, great recruiter, one of the best coordinators in the game right now and will be a head coach sooner than later! Time to stop trying to recapture the past glory some believe Schiano brought to RU. He was and still is horrible at real time game adjustments and got out coached on way too many occasions.
Hire Jeff Hafley
- Thread starter golconda
- Start date
I would take Jeff along with the two Camp brothers and we would have 3 NJ guys who can really recruit and know many NJ high school coaches.
Schiano will be the next HC. You don't re-open negotiations a second time unless you're prepared to close the deal sucessfully.
Cool. Good luck getting Hafley or the other campanile. Or any other coach that’d make yo happy.
That's nonsense. He hasn't even sniffed any head coaching job - let alone a P5 job in the Big Ten. If offered, he'd sprint to Piscataway - but I sure as heck don't want him. If he's been so good - then why has nobody hired him after being in coaching for over a decade.
Can’t wait.
We can lose with him or with someone else because that’s what Rutgers does
The fun thing about throwing a name out there is he has to want to come here. Why would he come him?
Hafley has little interest in this job. He might have been interested at one time, but with the way he's seen RU handle things, he really isn't any longer.
+1
Several sources confirm that Hafley isn't interested.
Well let me know when Hafley gets a P5 head coach offer then - we'll be waiting for several years, if ever. Apparently, he's not good enough for a head coaching job with MAC, AAC or Conf. USA either.
Probably because he knows it's going to be Schiano.
Hafley will probably get a head coaching job offer, could have even been here shortly after Ash was booted. But as I mentioned, with the public cluster f*ck Rutgers has made out of this search, his interest has pretty much been snuffed out.
Hafley is the type of guy that slides into a good G5 heard coaching spot, ups his resume and gets a very good P5 job.
If he got a G5 job and after 3 years left for a good power 5 job that it will take another say 2 years to turn into a solid program... that’s at least 5 years until he is in a good spot
Or
He can get a Big Ten job at Rutgers and have them at a high level in 5 years.
The second scenario would earn him more money, save his family from uprooting one extra time and allow him to be a hometown hero.
Hafley has little interest in working for Hobbs and a university who is trying to compete in the East Division on the cheap. No point coming here trying to build your resume if you can't get the support necessary to win.
No. You're wrong. He is not that interested at this point, primarily because of what happened with Schiano. Same reason A. Camp isn't interested.
You don't get a lot of shots at being a head coach (sometimes if things go bad enough a guy only gets one). Rutgers has done everything it can to make coaches with real options not want to take their shot here.
So many people in this thread pretending to know thinds definitively. Wow.
I can see some deference as well perhaps a unfavorable report from Greg as reasons for his lack of interest. The first can be overcome but the second will be more difficult.
