Another university official was more definitive on Ash's status:
"Unless something changes in the next five days, there's no way Ash isn't coming back,'' the university official said.
Both university officials told NJ Advance Media the result of Saturday's season finale at Michigan State isn't something that can change Hobbs' thinking on Ash's status.
...........
While McNulty is expected to return, it is likely Ash's staff will see significant changes. Six of Ash's 10 assistants have contracts expiring before the start of next season, as does head strength coach Kenny Parker.
The assistants whose deals are up: Defensive coordinator Jay Niemann, assistant head coach and offensive line coach A.J. Blazek, running backs coach Nunzio Campanile, wide receivers coach Lester Erb, outside linebackers coach Toby Neinas and tight ends coach Vince Okruch.
its the Rutgers way..waste money on assts that will be fired along with Ash in 11 months.From the article

This is why i think Ash is now here for another 2 seasons at least. Were gonna hire assistants who require 2-3 year contracts. Buyout next year will be very similar due to thatits the Rutgers way..waste money on assts that will be fired along with Ash in 11 months.
Again Barchi and Hobbs dont care.

I'm not so sure about UMass.ASH IS BACK IN 2019, YES!!!! On to year 4 of the rebuild, it has been a great ride so far, can't wait to see how the team continues to improve over the off season. Placing UMass and Liberty on upset alert right now!!

Thank goodness for RU Wrestling
Yea, sure. As soon as he gets a few wins we'll all be back.Well, my Dad already said if Ash is coming back, RU won't get another dime from him, that's 50k a year down the drain.
Can't blame Hobbs if Barchi is the one who is keeping the budget miniscule.
Yea, sure. As soon as he gets a few wins we'll all be back.

LOL. What games will we win next year?
We can only pray this is a trial balloon floated to see how the big donors react (which is about the only thing that could change at this late stage). This is Rutgers so I always expected Ash to be back for year 4 regardless. The only thing that surprises me is this leaking before the last game.Please change title.
Nothing is confirmed
Ash might be back but 5,000 season ticket holders won’t be.

Could be a possibility but they wouldnt bring up Hobbs tweet if this was orchestrated by the AD.
Yes they would.
If it was 100 percent he was coming back hobbs would make a statement. That he hasn’t made one yet, there is still hope that the right thing will be done here.
I plan to email Pat Hobbs with my thoughts on Coach Ash. As a small donor, I won't move the needle but hopefully everyone who is disgusted with the current state of the program clearly articulates their position to Pat this week. It's our only hope.Yes they would.

Ash was always coming back. Surely this can't be a surprise to anyone who follows Rutgers sports?
One year closer to full pay out, one less year to pay Ash. It was always going to happen. Hobbs isn't making short term decisions. If money was no object, things would be different. But for Rutgers, that's not reality.
Spending money you don't have to get a similar profile coach to be back in the same position, with even less money, is an even worse decision. I get it, it sucks. There simply was no great decision. And sometimes, making no move is better than making an even worse move.
Regroup, grow the war chest, make a real hire after Ash fails again next year.
As people have pointed out multiple times, it will be one less year to pay Ash but more years they will be paying out in guarantees to assistants they hire this offseason. They won’t even save that much by keeping him. Typical Rutgers.Ash was always coming back. Surely this can't be a surprise to anyone who follows Rutgers sports?
