You have a fan base ready to explode with anger and you bury your head in the sand. SAY SOMTHING, ANYTHING !!!

What do you want her to say? Only thing she could say right now is despite the rough season Kyle is our coach and he will be back next year. So unless she is 100% sure he will be back she is doing the right thing and not saying a word.
 
Unless she says she is replacing the coach, what is she to say. Anything less will just make everyone even more angry

No, with state of the Program in a complete Dumpster Fire the AD should take leadership .....it's her Department.
Herman was never qualified to be a AD at any Division 1 College Program and it is showing more than ever now.
 
It's better if she doesn't say anything. She really can only say one of two things: 1) I support coach Flood and despite the recent string of loses think he's the one to lead our football team or 2) The University has decided to part ways with Head Coach Flood and a coaching search for his replacement is underway.

She's not out there saying #1 like she did in the past and #2 won't get said till after the Maryland game. So better for her to just keep quiet and wait till the day or two after the last game to go before the media and issue statement #2. No good could come of her commenting on this dumpster fire between now and then.
 
Why would she say anything unless he is fired now. There's no benefit. She's aware of the issue. She has to separate the fans and make the best long term decision. While I think it is clear what she needs to do there is no reason to not let this play out the last couple of weeks of the season.

And even if the decision has been made I expect Julie would notify HCKF and let him finish the season and make a public announcement at the end of the season.
 
No they are not TP lovers.
They are just educated enough to know that Herman is not qualified to be a Division 1 Athletic Director.
I'm honestly curious what your justification is actually. What is the substance? What makes her qualified or not qualified? I'm not on either side of this discussion, just looking for some good logical posts.
 
The only thing she can, or should, say is "We evaluate all the personnel after the season is complete."
 
She's done a very good job for what's she been dealt. PR nightmare but a solid AD
Can you be a PR nightmare but be a solid AD? Seems like an important part of the job. In this case I think there is anything for her to say at this point.
 
So.... TP hires Flood and its JH fault. JH tries to replace Flood 2 years ago but the BOG and President say not enough funds and its her fault.

JH has brought RU fundraising to its highest point ever, has 4 ranked athletic teams but the haters say nothing.

I can tell you right now those of you that post to fire her have never had any encounters with her and probably bitch when the price of parking goes up.
 
Actually its a small number of Tp lovers and woman haters

Is it possible to criticize JH sincerely, or is it your belief all criticism of her basketball and football programs, which are both regarded as among the worst among their peers, can be only based in sexism or TP loyalty? Because you seem to go to that well a lot. It comes off a little weird, honestly.

Have a conversation with Theresa Grentz about how she demanded and won resources from RU for her team. You want an example of what an effective leader can be, Grentz got ground breaking things done.
 
Mulcahy was a political guy who was done in by politics.

Pernetti was a media guy who was done in by underestimating the power of the visual image.

Now we have an AD who may lack political and media savvy, but who, unlike her predecessors, knows something about running an athletic department. She is the right person for the job.

I tend to want to give her a chance to make her hires. But it is also her job to advocate for the athletic department from within the university structure for adequate resources. If she is ineffective in doing so then she is ineffective to make any kind of change that we all want to see. And that would be her fault.

This. I think Kate Sweeney and bac are the same person.

Wrong.

I'm in the neutral camp regarding her hire.
But I must say, she embarrassed the University by not being truthful with the media, and I wasn't happy about how she handled that?. I'm not surprised that Barchi keeps her hidden away from the media.

Ultimately, she will be judged by what she does with Flood this year and how the successor will perform.

WTF ? 4 Teams ranked ?
Only 2 Teams are ranked and their Coaches have been with Rutgers long before Herman stepped foot on the Banks. The Wrestling Team is ranked #17 and Coach Scott Goodale has been here 9 years. The Women's soccer team is ranked #4 and Coach Mike O'Neil has been with the team for 15 years. Herman has proven nothing other than she is forbid from speaking in public.

Are we really talking about the job she's done (good or bad) in terms of her being a woman and her sexuality? Thought we were past that, or at least we should be. Aren't there substantive things one could discuss?

Again give me evidence she is doing a bad job....based on actual thing ADs do and are judged on. She didnt hire Flood or Jordan not understanding what you wanted her to do so far. Flood is likely gone at the end of the year

Sorry I was off by a week. Last week the men's soccer team was also ranked and women's bball was ranked in a preseason poll.

Next JH was here when we laid out the money to get the best hire ever in RU wrestling Donny P. She decided to elevate Coach O'Neil.

As for her public speaking, RU and the press do not like when someone states their mind. You are probably one of the guys now on this board that hated Politi etc but now they are pushing your narrative and you love him.

Why is that a key part of the job? Her job is to ensure all the athletes are being taken care of and given what they need to succeed on the field and in the class. Her job is to fund raise which we are at our all time highest right now (still pitiful compared to other schools but good for us). Dealing the media and answering fan inquiries (other than major boosters) is such a minute and inconsequential part of her job.
