Moglia seems to be pushing for the job
- Thread starter RobertG
- Start date
He is my preference. money wont be an issue. can get top oc, dc and rc. he will be ceo and closer.
What race would you prefer them to be?
Seems the prof has no problems making off color comments about older people, their skin color or their geographical origin. Interesting that he falsely calls out others on this type of behavior when it fits his narrative. Hypocrite?
I actually would be interested in this guy. Not top choice, but I wouldn't cry a river.
No, God forbid you hire someone who's smart.
Back when we were discussing low budget options for RU, I thought you could at least make case for Moglia as someone who could solidify the program on and off the field and manage the 5 years or so until RU transitioned to a full B1G share.
Now that RU hired a non-athletic AD to do the same things, and money is allegedly more available than expected, I don't see how a case can be made for Moglia.

He forgot to add hetero in his bias against Moglia.
Does that reporter seriously think that because Moglia has connections to Wall Street it can translate into big money contributions to RU football? Hell, Wall Street contributions from Rutgers ALUMS (unless they are given anonymously) have been nothing to write home about.
Huge gamble. We are not in a position to gamble. Pass.
If he is a candidate I would advocate for a great assistant coach. One that could eventually take over for him in 5 years. Essentially he would be on the clock for 5 years with the expectation that he would step down after that. That would be the only way I am OK with him.
Don't follow where it says he is "pushing"
Sounds like people are batting his name around
"Moglia is thought to have a campaign of support pushing his name behind the scenes" can mean that others are pushing him without his involvement
He would be a great out-of-the-box hire; much preferred and much less risky than other second-tier candidates like Christobal.
Likely pluses: exciting team even while rebuilding; clean and disciplined program; significant ability to assist with fund-raising; positive PR.
Here is a recent Forbes essay about him: http://www.forbes.com/sites/montebu...a-power-5-college-football-head-coaching-job/

Not dying to have him here either. But he is a winner. Better choice then the losers (Golden and Cristobal) people are getting all dewy in their shorts over.
If we can't get Schiano, Rhule, or Richt...I'd love this hire. Definitely there's risk, but also huge upside. Runs a unique offensive system that others would have to prepare for, a proven winner in life, wouldn't need a big pay package, and possibly could donate money back to school over long-term. Huuuge upside.
Downside: I can't see it being worst than Flood. Sorry.

I guess I talked myself into one case for him. If it is true that his personal wealth means we could get away with paying him Flood type money, and the additional money RU allegedly has could be used to pay top 25 coordinator money to lure a great OC and DC here (hoping one could eventually take over), it would make some sense. You would have to get the right assistants for recruiting, though.
Would be homerun hire.
Guys like this are very efficient. They don't lose. They figure it out.

Interesting guy and story. I'm not ready to take the risk with the RU program at this time.
If you can't get a proven commodity like GS, MR or BP then I like going out the box and/or young and swinging for the fences.
Al's against it. I'M MORE IN THEN EVERRRR
BP? Pellini?
There's no chance whatsoever that we'd hire that <bleep>ing Pellini after the Mike Rice fiasco.
Interesting
Massive, game changing upside potential if everything goes right - he could be a media darling ... Ring the Nasdaq opening bell the day after he is announced ... rah ...rah... rah ...(he is basically living a Disney script - look for Dennis Quaid or Kevin Costner to play Moglia in the movie)
Woeful, pathetic embarrassment if chemistry goes bad & ... the media will unleash an ugly harsh tsunami of " You guys are idiots ... what an amateur move... and .. we told you so" ...if it does not work.
One of the huge keys to making this have a chance of success would be to be able to get premium, top-notch, super-star potential assistants - off the charts good OC & DC
.... so is it worth a shot?
or is it better to look at one of the candidates that fit the description of the "Usual Suspects" attractive - but not stellar upside ... probably limited but lackluster downside
... sort of a 'safe choice

Sorry he is too old and it is a bit harder to compete against the DCs in the BiG. Moreover, he was the CEO of a retail bank, not the CEO of a bulge bracket firm so don't expect a big bump in Wall St fundraising.
Dammit, Cali. Go back to saying things I find obnoxious. I hate agreeing with you so much.
We are in the BiG and this is probably our most critical hire. Moglia is a huge gamble. When you have a short stack of chips in front of you you get back in the game by making smart decisions. If you go all in and if you're wrong then you're dead. Moglia is an all-in short stack move.
I think I have to agree with an out of the box/young hotshot with big upside, especially If MD somehow nabs a Richt-type candidate instead and we can't secure a bigger name. Most of the candidates mentioned are moderate risk, low reward imo and would most likely be eaten alive anyway by a B1G East coaching line-up with Richt.
We might have no choice...I hope it doesn't come to that though. I'm scared.
