julie hermann where the hell are you ?

[RU#1fan]

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.

The Men's soccer team finished #27. No bad at all. However (Again) Herman had nothing to do with it. Coach Don Donigan has been here for 6 years. Not only is Herman forbid from speaking in public she is not allowed to respond to emails. Politi ? I hate him.
You claim the better performing teams at RU are a result of Julie Herman. She had nothing to do with it.
Do you know that JH was not even on the recommended list of 20 finalists for the AD position?
Solid AD. What a crock.

For the umpteenth time...

1. Athletic directors ARE NOT politicians/elected officials. They are SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS so speaking to the media is only a small part of their jobs.
2. It is a "back room" type of job at the majority of universities. Without looking it up, tell me the names of the Ohio State, Florida State and Alabama Athletic Directors right now. (I'd bet $1,000 that no one can name all three without going to their internet browser to search). And they are only the last 3 national champions in football so if athletic director is a job with tons of publicity how come the majority of people on here couldn't come up with these names without looking them up? Why? Because it's not as public a job as people make it out to be. Julie is not the GM of the Giants or Yankees or Knicks. She's a college administrator.
3. Pernetti was visible in the media because let's face it, what else did the guy bring to the table as an athletic director? The guy was BROADCASTING live from the RU/LOUISVILLE game in 2006. Tell me how that qualified him to be the athletic director at a major university less than 3 years later? Ok, he played football at Rutgers, was from NJ and looked cool in sunglasses and a suit. That's wonderful. And as bad as Julie was with the media when she first got here, Tim was equally awful on his OTL interview.

For someone who is pursuing a MBA in sports administration, trust me when I tell you Julie is the most qualified AD we've had in here since going to Division 1-A back in the late 70's. Sure the guy from Stony Brook was also qualified (thank God we didn't hire him though) and I'm sure Sean Frazier was as well. But can anyone actually say for sure Frazier would have been a home run with the media? Tell me where in his role as deputy AD at Wisconsin did he have deal with the type of jagoffs we have at the SL and Bergen Record? And K-Mac would have been an absolute joke of a hire. I know football "drives the bus" but the non-revenue sports were neglected for entirely way too long and someone needed to right the ship on those which can, by the way, be turned around without major funding. Unless The Donald himself came in to be RU's athletic director, football funding was going to be a problem for anyone who took the job.

 

[BoogieKnight]

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.

Thank you. Some people get it.

 

[RU MAN]

Solid ? LMAO
An AD who has been silenced by her Administration because they are afraid of what might come out of her mouth.

And what makes you qualified to say this tough Internet guy? What are your credentials? Have you run an athletic department before? Have you run ANYTHING before? Come on tough guy what say you?

 

[superfan01]

Julie was in the Audi club freely talking with people before yesterday's game. She is not hidden.

 

[Pritz99]

And speaking of "The Donald"

Shouldn't he be looking for a College Team to gear up his publicity machine for? ala Phil Knight, T Boone Pickens, etc. CAN you comprehend the status of Rutgers sports with Trump providing the cash and leadership?

Maybe after all this political BS is over with....


Someone should take a poll on how long would it take to win a NC.

 

[rutgers4life11]

Thank you. Some people get it.

When there is scandal after scandal after scandal, it DOES become a major function of her job. Look at any other AD in the country.

The arrested players were kicked out of school.
Flood served a 3 game suspension.

What more do you need?

[brgossRU90]

It really is amazing that people think our ad should be fired not because she hired a terrible coach but because she hasn't fired him, despite a president who has made it obvious he wants to save money and in a hurry, and because she doesn't talk to the media a lot. Tim pernetti was a complete disaster with the media--with HIS hire--and I bet some of you were the posters crying about what bulls t it was that he got fired.

 

[motorb54]

You guys (the OP and 66) are an embarrassment

 

[BoogieKnight]

You guys (the OP and 66) are an embarrassment

I think some fans want a "I'm Julie Herman and I approve this message" for everything that happens in the athletic department. Again, she's not an elected official and this isn't politics. Players get arrested, they get dismissed from the university. Coach breaks academic code, he gets suspended 3 games. The end. No drama. Move on.

 

[RU848789]

In case you're still curious, she was at the hoops game today - seemed like she was with family of some sort having a nice time, seeing a nice win for the team today, over Howard. Most athletic team I've seen on the Banks in many years - if we had some shooters, we'd be dangerous. Folks are going to like Corey Sanders...

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Absolutely NO need whatsoever for Julie to say a single thing UNTIL an absolute decision, either way, has been made.

 

[RU31trap]

I have no real opinion on Julie Herman as I don't know what an AD does day in and day out. Initially I found a woman in this position to be a bit odd, but at the end of the day if she's qualified why not give her a chance. I for one liked B. Mulcahy. I felt Bob supported the football team to the point he would have gotten himself fired in order to get rid of Coach Flood. I feel that Julie Herman is more of a low key subordinate type that takes her marching orders from Barchi with absolutely no resistance where other AD's might be a bit more forceful. For those who support Julie please understand that I'm not criticizing her just my perception of her as an AD. JMHO

Bingo..everyone needs to read this post

I disagree and if you don't think many remember her gaffes with the press and that it colors their opinion of her then ask a few people about it. I agree it is not her primary job but you need to be credible with the media and she has work to do there whether she thinks there is a vendetta against her and the school or not. She dug the hole and needs to figure out how to deal with it rather than just issuing statements here and there.

Then her position should be eliminated. It is a title only. It is her to job to raise requisite funds. Bar hi isn't stopping that. If she can't do it, get someone who can.

I am sure many remember the gaffes and I would say they are letting inconsequential gaffes color their view of our most qualified AD ever who seems to be doing a good job.

Let's also remember one of those gaffes was telling a class she wished the ledger died and then sitting on it until it worked for them. Who here doesn't want them to die?

Her football hire will tell me what kind of AD she is. She has a tough job but she is accountable for making the job as attractive as possible and finding the best candidate within whatever constraints she is dealing with.

 

[strings74]

OP you should email her. She usually responds to coherent and thoughtful emails and questions from mature adults. I mean, if you can manage it.

She most definitely does and will!

 

[ChasRC69]

The Julie hate in 66 is so strong...

Bingo! I thought I had everyone who makes stupid comments on "ignore," but apparently missed one.

 

[rutino]

Women is a stretch.

Really??? SMH

 

[Rhuarc]

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.

If you think this program is a dumpster fire you clearly weren't hear for the Shea years or the Littlepage years in basketball. At least we win once in awhile right now.

 

[Rhuarc]

One thing I'd like to ask the fire Julie people is, if we might not even have the money to fire Flood, where are you getting the money to fire our AD as well? She's only midway through her contract.

Whatever happens, we need to stop this constant bleeding of money and waste of financial resources due to bad coaches. Paying people millions for future years of nothing is not a good way to balance the books.

 

[RUaMoose]

And what makes you qualified to say this tough Internet guy? What are your credentials? Have you run an athletic department before? Have you run ANYTHING before? Come on tough guy what say you?

Oh I see. So it's ok to criticize the HC even though none of us have any experience doing it ourselves but hands off the AD. That's logical. You sound more like an ITG than the guy you're responding to.

 

[Caliknight]

Solid AD. What a crock.

If not for the political nature of RU and the backdrop under which she was hired,she never would have been. There isn't one p5 school who would have given her a look. Whether or not she will get it done, we will see. One thing is for sure- she is very fortunate to be where she is.

 

[ArminRU]

What is Julie's track record when it comes to hiring and firing coaches? Has she ever had to fire a coach in the past?

 

[Jersey Boys]

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.

Bravo and well stated.

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

She's over here - with the women's volleyball team.

 

[Jersey Boys]

If not for the political nature of RU and the backdrop under which she was hired,she never would have been. There isn't one p5 school who would have given her a look. Whether or not she will get it done, we will see. One thing is for sure- she is very fortunate to be where she is.

Regardless, she has better credentials than any of her predecessors any way you slice it. How many P5 schools would give TP a look? I'm not being disrespectful to Tim, but it's not like we've had A+ AD's in the past.

I'm still 50/50 on Julie long term, but at this point I don't think she is the problem. I never felt comfortable with the way the hire went down, but thats in the past and we need to move on. If we let her go, name one AD candidate with better credentials who would come to a school where the President is already on record stating there are no additional funds and go find the money yourself.

 

[ru66]

it's insane the excuses made on her behalf and those giving her free passes--one could ask what good has she done for the football program? was $ raised to hire a new coach ? where's the money for the RAC--if she was so fantastic as some think-what's taking her so long--she can move mountains according to some yet she can't speak to the press or convince her boss to do what's right--contrary to what the weak name callers on here think,I hope she succeeds and had no problem with her hiring on the assumption there was proper vetting but she needs to be on the hot seat also--and yes I've spoken to her , she's asked me for $ support but so what--you macho men are result oriented aren't you?

 

[PaKnight]

What is Julie's track record when it comes to hiring and firing coaches? Has she ever had to fire a coach in the past?

She was responsible for all sports except for football and men's basketball at L'ville. I would guess she has made more than a few changes.

 

[bac2therac]

she hired the UL womens hoops coach Jeff Walz who took the program from obsecurity to two Final 4s where attendance increased from nowhere to top 10 in the country...that's her biggest example of successful hiring

 

[RUBand]

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

She and Barchi are hiding under their desks.

 

[MS-RU]

I just saw her panhandling in Times Square. No one can say she isn't a hard worker!

 

[RU MAN]

Oh I see. So it's ok to criticize the HC even though none of us have any experience doing it ourselves but hands off the AD. That's logical. You sound more like an ITG than the guy you're responding to.

Get a clue before spouting off your ignorance. You come to the rescue of a total a$$hole? Go back to the CE board where your ignorance and stupidity is rewarded. Stay off of these boards, because you don't know $hit.

 

[JPhoboken]

Tim Pernetti is the worst athletic director of all time.

Mike Rice.
Kyle Flood.

Saw the tape and didnt fire rice.

What a loser. Good riddance.

And when Barchi was told about it, he didn't have time to look at it.

 

[RUaMoose]

Intelligent response. Thanks for making my point for me.
