Does it go on and on? I believe most of the other guys are from either OSU or Wisocnsin, not Drake.
Either way, your post is really nothing more than a buzz word. "Cronyism." Cronyism implies that positions are being given to friends or allies. Unfortunately for the point you are trying to make, this is really only a negative in public office, when public benefits are being sent to friend on an inside track. The simple reality for the private sector is that nearly all hiring is relationship based. This is especially true in coaching, where coaches work in tight circles, and have to abide by certain overall philosophies and schemes to be able to work well together. There is nothing wrong with any of that.
I tend to agree that I am less than thrilled with the DC hire, but so be it. Ash is a defensive specialist himself, so I will give the benefit of the doubt until proven otherwise.
To find true cornyism at work, the far more nefarious kind, look down the hall at our new AD. His hiring was a political handout of the highest order. But hell, I have shut up about that too. He seems to be doing a good job so far, and he shows that he is not working towards the best interests of Rutgers, I am not going to harp on it.
