it was a complete softball........... since day one, he's shown a complete lack of understanding for any history or success at this school.......
how hard is it to say something like:
Of course we're proud of the history we've had here... Is it the most important thing? probably not.. But, you always want recruits to know that they are coming to a place with some football history
Far as I'm concerned, the next coach we hire can be totally dismissive of everything and anything RUFB accomplished in the past just so long as he gets us winning games.Bingo!
He has been dismissive of everything and anything RU might have accomplished prior to him getting here.
Holy crap, you can't be serious? We have some great history.I'm also unimpressed by RU being the birthplace of college football. I only want to win now and don't care what happened in the past.
I read up on the history of the RU FB program. Was actually given a book about it from a relative of sorts, and I enjoyed the book a lot.Holy crap, you can't be serious? We have some great history.
Exactly. Nobody says it has to be the only pitch or even the main pitch but to weave it into a coach’s plan and state that we are going to build on our history and get us to the highest level would be appropriate. Why do people think it has to be a binomial? Winning in the future and respecting our past traditions are not mutually exclusive. How many people did Ash piss off by dissing everything about our past including players, traditions, awards, high school programs/players/coaches, etc.? His “strategy” has really worked for him, hasn’t it...it was a complete softball........... since day one, he's shown a complete lack of understanding for any history or success at this school.......

He's not excited because he won't be here to celebrate...To be fair, he didn't say he was unimpressed, he said he didn't think potential recruits would be impressed that Rutgers is celebrating the 150th anniversary of college football. However, if he doesn't mention it to recruits, and he isn't excited about it, it is not surprising that recruits haven't shown any excitement either.
Recruits are unlikely to be impressed.
My question how do you sell a place if your totally dismissive of it? That's pretty much been Ash's M-O since he's got here. This isn't good enough, that isn't either. What's he selling? It's a long arduous rebuild? Sorry, but in order to sell a place you need to embrace the place, not sh*t all over it. That should have been the opening segment in Ash's creating a Championship Culture video for only $39.99.Far as I'm concerned, the next coach we hire can be totally dismissive of everything and anything RUFB accomplished in the past just so long as he gets us winning games.
I don't think any coach is going to convince players to come to RU because of it's storied football history or traditions.My question how do you sell a place if your totally dismissive of it?

Put yourself in the mind of a 17 year old kid w/no particular prior connection to RU. Do you care about where football was born? Are you deciding to go to RU because of the horse or the cannon, or the words to the alma matter?
Or do you care about getting to the NFL, quickly getting playing time, or working with a coach you feel a rapport with, quality of facilities, or being close to home so family can easily come and watch games, etc?
Pretty sure most players are in that latter group. I don't think it matters a bit what Ash or the coach that replaces him thinks about RU's history. I only think it matters if they can convince a player about the other stuff. Players care about what you can do for them now.
And I'm pretty sure Ash wasn't, and isn't, shitting all over that stuff when talking to recruits.
OP - FAIL.
Of all the things you want to attack Ash on this isn't one of them. Shows he smarter than you.

What is clueless that you think recruits actually care.That’s what you get when you hire a guy from Iowa.
Totally clueless.

Oh god, seriously?? NDs history is about championships. Ours is about a game 150 years ago. Jeeze. Thinking his comments is a big deal is insane.This is where Ash loses it. Only an idiot would downplay being the first to play college football.
You think schools like ND erase their history every year and start over.
Ash wants this to be all about him. Only he doesn't have the track record of gravitas to warrant that.
