I'll certainly be sending some not-so-complimentary emails to all of these folks for the most epic failure in the history of modern day Rutgers Football. I thought Greg was the best man for the job, as per many of my posts. I also thought there could be others who might be successful here, so I wasn't all-in on Greg until it became obvious he was the only candidate we were looking at.

(maybe there are actual email addresses for Barchi and the BOG, but I couldn't find them)
How in the hell does an AD allow this to happen? He had well over a year to figure out his strategy for hiring Ash's replacement, since he must have known there was no chance Ash was going to get it done this year, after last year's debacle, combined with no new infusion of talent.
He surely knew Greg would be interested (if I knew, he should've known), so there's simply zero reason for him to not know what Greg's "price" would be well in advance. And if he knew RU wasn't going to be able to meet that price - which isn't really that high of a price and which any decent candidate will also likely be asking for (with regard to salaries and upgrades in facilities) - he should've never let it get to a point where most of the fanbase got their hopes up unnecessarily and the whole world thought that the deal was going to be done.
The way this is playing out it's almost as if this is some Machiavellian charade aimed at making Greg look bad, so Hobbs can then focus on who he really wanted to hire in the first place, whoever that is, without people criticizing him for not at least pursuing Greg. I assume now he thinks he can say he tried but Greg was unreasonable.
Except I don't think most will buy it, based on what we're seeing in the media reports that say Greg wasn't making unreasonable demands (below) and especially with regard to the "new" candidates, who can't even come close to holding Greg's clipboard. If Hobbs was ever serious about going after a decent coach, other than Greg, we wouldn't be seeing names like Campanile and Fisch being bandied about. My guess is he never intended to hire Greg at all.
As one of my sources just said to me in an email, "Hobbs wins, Rutgers loses." Like I said, epic fail, even for Rutgers.

"A source with direct knowledge of the negotiations said that Schiano’s salary was not one of the hold-ups. He was slated to be paid among the bottom three head coaches in the Big Ten. The source added that Schiano made concessions from many of his initial asks.
The sides have been in frequent touch since the Nov. 5 meeting when Schiano laid out a granular plan that detailed what he felt it would take to revive the school’s lagging football program.
Rutgers (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) is considered the worst Power Five program in college football and this failed courtship does little to shake that reputation."
