Bob Mulcahy is the true godfather of Rutgers Athletics. He hired Greg Schiano and Scott Goodale and they led football and wrestling to their best ranking ever. Schiano and Goodale have brought more positive PR and Jersey Pride to Rutgers than anyone else in the last 15 years.

Bob had the insight to hire two young coaches. Schiano and Goodale went on to develop outstanding men who exceed expectations in athletics at Rutgers and in life following graduation.

Bob - thank you for your insight. Without you decisions, who knows where Rutgers would be today
 
@rutgersfandan and @RUJON

Can you please give us a heads up a little beforehand so we can maybe ask a question or two?

Love that you do this but wouldn’t mind some advance warning. And I’m sure I’m not alone.

So True!
 
Bob was a great life long friend of my dad. I've known him a very long time. He could get things done but never take the credit. That's how you get things done.

@e5fdny Totally get it! Sometimes we don't have a ton of advanced warning based on guest scheduling, but when we do... we usually use Twitter as our platform for crowd-sourcing questions. @ScarletSpotRU.
