Kate Sweeney at the RAC

You do realize that Sweeney did not cast the deciding vote.....that would be Barchi

besides Julies qualifications were as good as any other candidates so the whining post removal is over the top by some on here

that's funny, BAC can't take someone bashing Julie...but, this guy bashes everyone at every opportunity. LOL at your over the top whining comment.

IIRC, she was properly vetted but Sweeney refused to accept or present findings. The fix was in.

That's exactly how it went down. Don't read these articles unless you want to get pissed. Sweet justice that Schmidt is the one now in the inner circle. Barchi clearly learned his lesson letting Sweeney and her woman agenda near something this important.

FIFY. I give anyone credit who takes the job considering past history.

I just reread the story of how McCormick and the BOG caved to Star Ledger pressure and fired Bob Mulcahy. He's the Moe Greene of athletic directors. There should be a statue outside the Hale Center commemorating what he did.

Then there is Tim Pernetti. Whether you like who he hired or not, he got thrown under the bus just like Uncle Bob. Remember, Uncle Bob said he told McCormick about the marketing company that paid part of Greg's salary, but McCormick said he did not remember hearing that. Similarly, Tim gave Barchi the Mike Rice DVD, but he did not watch it.

So, there is undoubtedly some residual anger towards Julie Hermann, the flawed hiring process, her many issues that were not brought to light during the hiring process when we were looking for an AD to clean up a mess. Then there was the subsequent way she dealt with one of the issues, first, the wedding video that contradicted her denials. Then there was the Eric Legrand graduation speech debacle, the Tyree phone call incident, the Sandusky joke, the statement to a class that former Rutgers football players in the NFL do not give back enough to Rutgers, and other various embarrassing quips that caused Barchi to hide her away from public view, not allowing the AD to do the job the AD was hired to do--manage athletics. So maybe there is residual anger that Julie Hermann was kept in place as long as she was.

So, Julie Hermann is gone, and a certain poster wonders why people are poking fun at the person who is chiefly responsible for her being hired, especially when she takes a prominent place at the men's BB game where our new AD makes his first public appearance at Rutgers?

And please professor, we don't need a lecture from you.

Great post. A cliff notes summary of the Hermann error

Yeah she's been great, putting her personal sexuality-politics ahead of the best interests of Rutgers. Thanks Mr. Kate!

LOL. Yes - our athletic department ranking is climbing in the past two years. Damn you Sweeney for forcing this person on us. If we had picked the guy we would um - be rolling in dough because um - uh - RU just has a ton of donors who are just itching to give money to us. Thats sarcasm by the way.

the nonsense about how "great" Hermann was is so old and slanted, fostered by those that have a strange bias-at best she was mediocre--she'd still be here if she was a star and could make our AD a success.
