I'm imagining Coach Ash driving I-80E in his Honda Accord

Didn't somebody already post they saw he was taking seniors out for a meal tomorrow?
 
I'm sure he'll stop off at the Easton Ave Subway first...then we will all know the true story

Pretty sure I read on Twitter that the entire staff would be here starting Monday.

Scenes from packing day
 
What's the reference to the accord? Sorry I'm out of the loop but it sounds passive aggressive to me.

Because it's the greatest, most reliable car in automotive history. I guess you missed the episode of "Life After People" of the History Channel where the experts predict the only machine that will continue to work long after the human race is gone will be Honda Accords.

Actually that is not correct in this case there is a certain article ar Enjay.com that mentions that Ash was packing things into his Honda Accord. That led to a long thread here about what he should be driving.

Can we stop the Honda Accord bullsh*t! It's ridiculous and totally inaccurate and immaterial as to what kind of vehicle Ash drives. If truth be known it is probably a courtesy car provided by a local dealer as a benefit to certain staff members. It's done at most schools throughout the country. I know for a fact that in the past when Open Road Honda was owned by a local fan and booster whose daughter was a team manager this was done regularly. I also was also involved at another university where we were able to get courtesy cars for some coaches in exchange for tickets and advertising. Unless he has an attractive purchase option on a great car (the Accord), it will go back into.the coaches' pool and might even be assigned to Schiano.
 
Maybe he wants to continue house shopping with his wife. Somewhere off I78 near I 287 would be my choice if I made $2MM a year. Wonder if his staff is ready for NJ property tax shock.

Are you high? The fact that our coach drives a Honda Accord, only the finest example of automotive engineering ever, is quite possibly the single most important factor affecting the RU football program in several decades.

If Rutgers Football can execute as well as the Honda Accord, we will ultimately be Champions. The Honda Accord is a metaphor for what we want Rutgers Football to be.

That doesn't make sense. The Accord is, historically, one of the most reliable cars in current production but it does not excel in any other aspect. The football equivalent of a Honda Accord would be a team that spends precisely the national average on coaching and facilities to go .500 every year.

Consumers have spoken and its been the #1 or #2 best selling car for a very long time. It's made Car and Drivers 10 best for a long time. I can only hope hat Rutgers Football performs similarly eventually.
 
Right on 4 Real. Your analogy is perfect and Rutgers has to commit to taking that next downe step from bigger time to big time. The first step was accepting B1G membership. Now let's at least try to take the next step. Until recently under BM Rutgers shied away from the word big time which was a favorite of Ed Bloustein do he wouldn't upset the faculty and Rutgers quasi Ivy League image.

Those days are gone and we are in a conference with the big boys in many ways...athletics and academics. Finally it is time to act and perform like a major state university similar to those in the B1G and elsewhere. This also includes a commitment and change in attitude from Trenton and perhaps the BOG. Funding of course is the key from all areas - State, Alumni, NJ corporations and friends. One step in the right direction on the academic side is the creation snd development of the Honors College at Rutgers. We need to recruit the top students similar to.how we want to recruit athletes and to award similar grants in aid.

So you're saying that there's no difference between "best" and "most popular"?
 
I think that he made it fairly clear. There is a difference between best and popular. I've had teachers, coworkers etc who were the best but not always the most popular.

My point being that the Accord is simply "popular" - by virtue of the fact that it represents a reasonably solid value proposition. There is, however, no "money aside' metric by which the Accord is the 'best' anything.

Simply put, given the choice of driving, for free, an Accord and, say, any German sports sedan, absolutely no one is going pick the Accord.

I had an Accord and it served me well early on. I later purchased a BMW and can say I prefer the German sedan better.
