Keep sugar coating the fact that a B1G coach making 2 million a year was unprepared and sounded foolish. No excuses - just another indicator that he seems simply unprepared for this job. He may prove me wrong this year and I hope he does but the bad news just continues - When a coach is new he needs to set a vision and show progress - so far he has not shown neither.
If u note, i said on heels of disastrous 1st season.
It's not worthy of a canning.
If getting a minor detail wrong is a fireable offense, then there'd be nobody left at work. Please be serious. I've made presentations to very senior management and not always been able to answer every question and I'm still around and one of my best friends at work is our CEO's chief of staff and he laughed at your comment that someone should be fired for this. Coached, yes, fired, no - especially if that person has an exemplary record in all other aspects of the job. Now, if you want to fire Ash over his first season, that's very different. I wouldn't, given the mess that Flood left, but the performance was still clearly below expectations.
If that was the first presentation date of a new series, then maybe. If it was in the midst of a bunch of similar weekly presentations where the specific focus on that specific presentation wouldn't start until the week before, then momentarily forgetting the specific date would not even warrant a discussion.
Agreed. It was a minor thing. But he should ensure that, for the future, he use a different approach to remembering the date of an event he is promoting.
On heels of lackluster performance, u are gone regardless of pedigree.
I find rubber bands around my wrist helpful.
HAT, can you imagine the level of disarray our program would be in if you fired Ash yesterday.
the link to the show was posted.Unless you believe the russians altered the broadcast,listen youreself.
Couldn't remember the name of a 4 star QB, but he knew the name of the qb
That also sums up his posting history on recruiting on Rutgers "losing" recruits to other teams.
Schooled again with fake facts.
So you are still around because the CEO's chief of staff is a best friend of yours?
Russia intercepted the date. I don't see how you conclude that when Carton cut him off right after he said, "I knew you were going to ask that. . . " The next words out of his mouth could have been the date, but we will not know. But instead, we get BlockR's false narrative propounding a 5 page thread on a mole hill.
Because he was saying "I'll be honest with you" as he got cut off. You don't say "I'll be honest with you" and then have the answer to the question.
Ash's reply exactly: "Uhhhhh, I knew you would ask me that. . . ." Carton cuts him off and says "November 4."
It's not as bad as I thought, and I didn't know that he was calling in - I thought he was in the studio. Puts it in a different perspective.
But is it worthy of a caning? @mildone would support that.
Yep, the one thing I'd say is that he was probably trying to multitask while handling this phone in, which, in my experience, is a big no-no in this situation. Once you're on, you need to drop everything and focus on that phone call.
