Perception of the program and recruiting are closely intertwined.Right now I'm becoming more convinced that the football program needs to go the" Stringer way " where her prior success at other schools was the main reason top tier recruits came to Rutgers.Recycling new head coaches without prior success at the highest level of competition as a head coach won't work at Rutgers because the competition is too strong.Of course ,it would take a significant financial expenditure which I doubt Rutgers will commit to prior to 2021.Hobbs needs to give ash at least a million more in staff budget. That way, Ash can spend that getting guys who can bring in much better talent.
The status quo mode of kicking the can down the road probably will win out for the next 4 seasons and fans will continue shaking their heads after Eastern Michigan type games.
