How do you think EJ will be let go next week?
- Thread starter T2Kplus10
- Start date
Outright firing if he doesnt voluntarily resign. The choice is up to Eddie.
Im hoping that Hobbs is already working on his short list with feedback from agents of prospective coaches.

This is Rutgers, don't count on Eddie being let go.
With the way the program looks under him other schools would let him resign ( negotiate a resignation package ) or just terminate him and pay the buyout: but this is Rutgers and anything might happen.
Including Hobbs saying beating Minnie proves Jordan can win and he's getting one more year to prove it to the RU MBB fanbase.

Beating another awful team that could only suit up 5 scholarship players and 2 walk ons, with their best player having a really off night, is not going to fool anyone into thinking we are about to turn the corner. Hurts me to say it, but EJ has to go.

Doubt this.
I truly believe we finally have a real AD now. Therefore, Eddie is gone. There would have been some sign that he would be retained by now.
I'm quite sure Hobbs has been doing his homework for months now. As of today, it looks like there will not be many schools out there to beat for candidates. Illinois is standing pat and I don't think the UNLV job is that attractive. It's not like waiting another year means we'll have better candidates next year. The time for change is now. Would love Eddie to be part of the administration, but I don't see that happening at this time.
He will be fired privately, but publicly he will resign for "the good of the program."
Funny how these facts don't matter when we were the losing team. we will turn the corner when a new basketball facility is done.
That sounds like the best scenario for all [cheers]
Hopefully saying something about being tired and worn down....from all of the LOSING.
We're going to wait for a month or two for Sanders to announce transfer and then fire him? No, doesn't work that way.
And keeping Jordan doesn't upgrade coaching to Big Ten caliber. We all know facilities need to be upgraded and at least we've started the process.
There's no excuse for the product that Rutgers put out on the floor this season.
It's time to hire a coach who can inject some life into this program.
I usually agree with your POV, but I believe that you are seriously underestimating Hobbs here as our AD. His hands are not bound like our previous AD's were. Barchi has empowered Hobbs to make the decisions for the Athletic Dept. That's why Eddie is a dead man walking as RU BB coach. And Hobbs has experience with this type of hire and is an established fund raiser to make it happen.
Eddie's remaining career as RU HC is now a one game season IMO.
Barring of course a run through the Big Ten tourney and on to the Big Dance.
No. Illinois announced that John Groce is coming back. And we pulled that move three years ago.
