Ash Breaks Mehringer Hire to Sports Illustrated

[SantaFeScarlet]

Great move to market your Key Offensive Hire to a well-respected National Media Outlet and not the local garbage media in NJ.

Another smart move by a smart coach!

You don't know who made the first call here....

Perhaps it's just a reporter that has dealt with him consistently as OSU.....or a reporter that is close to Herman and/or Mehringer.

Brilliant move. He should only allow SI and USA Today in the locker room and let the local media pick up the crumbs. Time to fight fire with fire.

No matter what the reason, I'm really glad SI was the outlet to break the story and not our local fish wrap rags.

SI was also the first place I saw connecting Ash to RU. Interesting.

Correction: It was FOX sports on Dec 2.

Keep your media allies close!! Nothing wrong with that!

Fox Sports also had a positive article on their website.

I bet for recruiting and improving RU's image nationally for access to recruiting.

This is nothing new. Either ESPN are SI have broken all internal Rutgers news since at least Pernetti.

Remember it being said that Jim Delany had lent an ear, offered advice & a helping hand .... well might he have recommended some B1G 'verified' hospitable communication conduits?-
or at the very least, simply said - 'give one of my guys a call when you want to put some key info out - we can make sure the way it first hits is via the national outlets & is a positive as possible.'

One thing I agree with here...
The SI article had GREAT quotes and was VERY positive.

No way Duggan would have done that.

Hope we keep going to the SI / national well for breaking stories.

Smart moves by RU, let the Star Liar/NJ.com and their jackhole editor Manahan starve for info.
