Everyone write Patrick Hobbs an email saying No to Al Golden

Every decent coach has a plan. The good ones commit it to writing both for themselves and their employer. GS had a plan a it put Rutgers back on the map. If you don't have a plan and vision to sell a school and recruits you are bound to fail. It's that simple.

Commentary: I hear many here speak about the fertile recruiting grounds in Florida, specifically Miami, and Golden's inability to flourish with ALL those great athletes......True story......When I was much younger, we played a basketball team who all came in at 6'3" to 6'6", athletic, and dunking during warm ups. In those day's that was really impressive, we all watched. Our biggest guy was 6'1" and he couldn't dunk!
We beat them by over 15 points, with good teamwork, setting picks, defense, looking for open men, and a whole lot of hustle.
I only say this because, in my experience superior athletes don't always translate into better athletes, or wins. A lot of what goes on in any sport arena starts, and ends above the neck. And, when athletes believe the press clippings, or school yard praise, they tend to not put in the work to improve themselves(that's the nicest way I know how to put that).
So, don't put too much stock at what Golden hasn't done, look at what he has, and or abilities to succeed at Rutgers.

Like I was saying. It takes a special person to coach at the U.

We do not need a used car salesman patrolling the sideline. Miami is paying him more NOT to coach their team than they were when he was on the sideline.

Out of all the names I've heard, Golden is by faaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr the worst.

Use your voices to ensure we don't start off on the wrong foot.

I think we should start a letter writing campaign to the Mods to revoke your board privileges...lol

Cristobal is the only "candidate" to be unhappy with.

This board is amazing. the same guys who don't want to hire Al Golden now are the same guys who wanted to hire him when he brought Temple's program back to life. People forget they wanted Greg out and felt Golden could take us somewhere. If I remember correctly, wasn't Bill Belichick the head coach the Cleveland Browns at one point? How did that work out? Bill seems pretty successful in his second stint as a head coach, don't you think? Not comparing Golden to Belichick, regardless of his challenges at Miami where he wasn't set up to be successful, but the point is that Al would do a nice job in this area of the country and is more likely to keep the talent home here than the other candidates. It will be different recruiting here against the likes of Franklin, than it is against Jimbo, that's for sure.

The problem with this is all these things are in the past. When Kyle flood was 7-0 and we were a MAC win away from being ranked #5 in the country, was there a single person that wanted him fired at that point? Then the game happened and all of a sudden all those praising him were calling for his head. Things change, just because people wanted Golden at one point, and now he did horrible at Miami, means we're not allowed to change our mind?
