Jordan fired
- Thread starter bac2therac
- Start date
Hobbs stepped on the bus to congratulate the pep band for all their support this season. Frankly, they should get commendation for on most nights being larger than the student section.
Correct, a guy like Howland was interested but RU probably balked at what were likely very reasonable demands from a coach with his track record. And here we are. Again.
Meanwhile, of course MSU will improve and be in the Dance again well before we even start to begin sniffing it.
They didn't know his demands because they never reached out.

All the best to Eddie who is a loyal son of RU. Wished he had got it done.We were all rooting for him .
Reached out like hey you want to chat or reached out and said "here's the job"
Will be interesting to watch. Just do not see a leap of faith that large - when was the last Big Ten coach to come from High School.
If we want to spend the money and make him first assistant - ok
Whatever. He is already the best AD we have had.
Just not thrilled about Cluess...any of the others are ok. Lonergan is still my favorite.
Russ, that's very interesting. How many Monteverde players can he bring with him ?
Much like the AD search that as co-opted by a certain group, it was Eddie or bust. The timing wasn't great, but there was a dereliction of duty as it related to the search.
Those days are over though. There is a professional in charge.
Boyle as an assistant coach? Sure! HEAD COACH? NO FREAKIN' WAY.
Although it's somewhat interesting, we are no position to be taking this big of a gamble.
If that's the case, then let's not get out the anointing oil for Hobbs just yet. That had to be a joke.
Not a chance he'd leave what he has down in Florida for that. And why would he?
"Reached out" was all the source texted me.
He is one of my best sources, has only been wrong once in four years. Very plugged in, but is difficult to reach this time of year due to all of the coach firings and player transfers.
I don't think he is monitoring the Rutgers situation closely. He just happens to know Boyle.

I appreciate that he got that Eddie wasn't the guy for the job. But that was the easy part. Now comes the hard part. Lots of ADs can fire bad coaches. Few can hire good ones. We hope he did with Ash, but the FB team hasn't suited up for a game yet. And we hope he can with the BB coach. Truth is, we won't know for a few years.
His legacy will be these 2 hires, and the practice facility. Not the firings. Long way to go.
He wasn't killed. He was moved to a better place. When one of your kids is failing with no chance for success, do you keep them in that position?
Agree. That's the type of gamble hire that would be viewed as more of the same. I doubt this is true.
Jordan had not coached college before and was a disaster. I can't see them hiring a coach who has not coached in college again.
If EJ were let go, I was told the school was not looking to just be competitive but to actually be successful in men's bball. We'll see what that means, but I really trust Hobbs to get this hire right. It also sounds like he has both the resources and the tacit approval of the administration to get this done.
You're probably right but there's no chance in hell this guy should be the HC of a P5 school, either, so I was just "spit-balling" lol!
What am I missing with all the Cluess hate? Age? He seems to be a very successful college coach. 89–25 (.781) conference record at Iona.
