Exactly. It's the same knee-jerk reaction that led to hiring Flood for $700K when Schiano had just left $2.5Million on the table. The BOG and Barchi were probably high-fiving each other when Flood was hired and crowing about the money they saved.
Whatever, Mister Perfect. You get the picture. It's still the Rutgers culture. And Barchi has been quite happy to keep a financial noose on the salary for the HC and the assistants.
I am not buying that Barchi was the problem. I don't think he really had strong opinions about the athletic programs in general. If an AD came to him with a defensible plan and it costs money what evidence do we have that he would not spend the money or eat money in the case of firing Ash? Barchi was not the type to be proactive, but at the same time he wasn't antagonistic towards athletics, it just wasn't his priority or passion, he left it up to the AD. Which means we really needed an AD with experience running an FBS football program, which we didn't get, that is on Barchi, but not cheapness IMHO.
Season ticket sales. As you and I know Rutgers BOG and President have always been reactive instead of proactive. They won't act until the numbers come in. Once the tally of 6,254 or 30% of lost season tickets was account for, then and only then did the wheels start turning in their brains. The lost revenue is staggering, jeopardizing their only mission for Athletics, final Elimination of Direct Institutional Support. Their cash grab is now in serious danger, so now they'll act.
My biggest one.
Well I hope it isn't at the end of the season. If that's the case then I'm really struggling to see the plan of firing him and the OC after game 4 when it could have been done later in the season. Because basically the worse we look(perception matters) the harder the next guys job becomes.
OK, whatever you say, keyboard psychologist. Maybe ask Upstream if he was hurt by my post. I was simply responding to his post, which was snarky. But I wasn't offended. And your assessment couldn't be further from the truth. Have a nice day. Peace and love. :Kissing:
When I made that post it was before Ash's firing. My feeling at the time was it would be game 8 or after. Not after game 4. I was completely off on that assumption. However that's a full month later and requires a different plan. Now with recent events clearly that time frame has to move up. Or why not wait till game 8 or after? It still gives you a month to search. It shouldn't take two months to find a coach. If it does, then I'm not sure what the plan was.
Just because you don’t see if doesn’t mean things are happening
That's because the only fans left are the crazy ones. And a few intelligent masochists.
did the Clemson AD have a plan when they made Dabo the interim HC? You don’t think he had a list and out feelings out? Why is it because he hasn’t hired a coach you think he didn’t have a plan???? Based on what? Everyone needs to chill out !
Chris Ash’s #1 fan again tries to shout down other points of view after being completely wrong about everything for almost 3 years.
When you fire a college coach at game 4 you would think the AD had a well thought out plan ready to go. Shame on my for assuming this. Hope his search for a search firm is moving along.
Al, that was in Durkin's contract from the beginning. He was fired without cause. And go easy on "he killed a kid," because that is libelous.
