Would be a great fit at Rutgers. He s a great recruiter and fantastic coach who all the local high school coaches will love. Steve completely turned around a terrible BC program into a constant 8 win program.


Im really curious to know. How you have been on this board for 18 years. Joined at the founding of this board. And all that has happened over the last 18 years. This is your very first post.

I believe sfo3 is one of the former posters of the once great BC rivals board, back when BC and Rutgers were conference mates. Frankly there’s no reason for him to post here for the last 15 years and the post numbers reset to zero after a while.

That might be the reaction they were hoping for by floating Addazio.

Make us feel relieved to get Hafley or whatever plan b, c or d still willing to come here.
Agreed, and I thought of that as I posted. I would much rather have a coach with a track record of success as a head coach. Addazio's not that guy.

He is probably the only person interstellar. That’s why he would get the job.
Addazio is an average recruiter and a poor game day coach. Terrible clock management and other in game decisions have cost BC at least 10 games during his tenure. 6-7 wins has been his ceiling at BC in ACC Atlantic, with a down FSU program and weak Coastal opponents. That would translate to a 4-5 win season in Big Ten East with comparable (ie. easy!) OOC schedule.

Check out BC's rosters over his time and see how many players RU tried to get here.

His record at BC does raise a legit question.[/QUOT

I don’t think you are paying attention to things , maybe you are from Boston or something and want Steve Addazio gone or what ever , but his roster at BC doesn’t matter and what good it would be if he doesn’t have the support to be successful because the AD is losing support as well as this administration. Failure is right there for the picking even if Hobbs wants to try and force a different narrative in not hiring Schiano because people are supporting for him to be hired , so in my opinion hire him or he better have himself a Urban Myer in his pocket.

This is not quite true. Some coaches may like him, but the HS coaches in NJ were not very complimentary of Adazzio when he was being interviewed by Prunetti.

Passing on him was not just because he would not retain the RU assistant coaching staff. Prunetti knew that any head coach would want to bring in his own guys that he trusts. The kicker was the negative comments about him by some of the higher profile HS coaches.

When was he ever a great recruiter. You will never be great if the HS coaches think that you talk out of both side of your mouth.

Childish response unless you are delusional enough to think I invented the screen name and became a premium member 16 years ago just in case this situation arose some time in the future. I also never said a word about Greg.

Reading comprehension is a good thing. Try it sometime.

Fact remains there are a number of players at BC that RU and Ash wanted but were unable to land.

The media wants us to be terrible... I'm convinced! Not a mention of a single great coach. It has been all sorry choices, even Greg Schiano
I am sure that they reached out to some great coaches through back channels in their search. What great coach with options will come here?

Again I will say it , that doesn’t matter what BC has on there roster , nobody is raving about Steve Addazio and that is a Fact not a childish response

We were arguing about Reddit on another post, but I have to give credit where it is due to a post I saw there. To paraphrase....

If hiring Addazio was a football play, it would be punting from your opponent’s 36 yard line.

On 4th and 1. Basically, a Chris Ash signature play call.

Addazio would be a home run hire for us. He’s recruited New Jersey for Notre Dame, Indiana, Florida, Temple and BC. He’s a no nonsense toughguy who is respected by all the HS coaches in this state.

He’s a winner that will bring toughness, accountability, faith and respect back to RU.

I would take him over Schiano tomorrow.

It is obvious that there are BC people who are posting here in their effort to send Adazzio to Rutgers. They cannot wait to get rid of him and are hoping Rutgers is stupid enough to hire him.

There you go. That was a Henny Youngman post- "Take my coach. Please!"

Roy Hobbes has colluded with Steve Adazio to meddle in the Rutgers coaching search. We need to appoint a special council to investigate their corruption (along with any potential ties with the SEC conference).

Impeach Roy Hobbes now!!!
