Money is there, and Barchi has the ok from legal

yes... so they have the $$$ & permits for the demo work ...
but how much is there for building something great in place of what is there now?

The assumption is that there is enough for that too. Get together a few large donors, increase donation limits, and you have enough money for a quality coaching staff without even asking Barchi to open his wallet.
 
She's done a pretty good job raising revenue and significantly increasing donations. And I guess she's done a good job in hiring coaches, but since she hasn't hired a FB or BB coach yet, you really can't tell if she is good or bad at spotting coaching talent.

But the big part of her job is running the athletic department. Before she stepped on campus, she had a lot of staff out to get her based on some perceived loyalty to Pernetti, so this wasn't an easy job, but from what I hear, she's done a good enough job (although there are still a lot of the same staffers who continue to dislike her). But if she missed on drug testing and NCAA compliance issues, that is a pretty big miss. I guess we'll have to wait until the report comes out to see if this was a miss for her or not.

Flood dodged the bullet earlier this year because he wasn't officially informed of compliance issues of some sort. Maybe our AD has the same excuse and dodges this one.

Did these compliance issues happen after Pernetti? How does Flood plead ignorance for all of these years?
 
Yeah I don't remember the details. Maybe someone else can chime in.

I could see both being in trouble here, but I'm confused as to why some think this could take Hermann down while Flood survives. If anything, I would think Flood was trying to circumvent the rules through two ADs.
 
Do we really need to chime in and divide a fan base yet again?
I hope whomever comes in...whether head coach or AD...I hope they just clean house...all around...stop this BS bickering.

Would you want to be fired for something like this if you were the AD? If someone else hired the coach and didn't have him go through the compliance training and the blame fell to you?

People can argue whether or not they thought she was qualified for the job. IMO, her resume was as solid or better than the other candidates. Maybe there should have been better candidates, maybe those were the only ones willing to take the job. But she didn't come from nowhere, she came from an extremely well run athletic department -- one that could be a model for Rutgers.

I could care less about her personal life. That means absolutely nothing to her job and how she handles the job.

I don't think I would be able to plead ignorance that it wasn't done under the guy I replaced.
It would be my responsibility to make sure my direct reports are compliant in my department. This is the real world in any workplace....the buck stops with you...it's your department.
She can't plead ignorance...like Flood shouldn't plead ignorance with professor contact.

If compliance issues go through the AD's office. Having been an Asst AD, If Julie says she did not know, she's either lying or completely incompetent. It is their job to know and to make sure all of their coaches know. Flood could pretend to not know and get away with it, Julie cannot.
 
Methinks Barchi and Delany are talking (hopefully) using this connections to vet potential replacements....of course if that's the direction he chooses to go...

I had heard some rumors last week which I dismissed because they didn't seem to make sense. They are starting to make sense now. I would not be surprised if Barchi is getting input from Delany as well as from leaders at schools we want to emulate.

Are these rumors likely to satisfy the masses?

Kevin Weiberg former B12 commisioner and has worked in the B10 offices when Delany took over and at the BTN. Has athletic administration in his past. :)
 
I am neutral on Hermann pending the outcome of the report. For the short term I would like to think it would be helpful to have an AD in place for the HC search but if she is mortally wounded it doesn't help much. Regarding her hire of O'Neill, didn't Crooks quit right before the season started? She really did not have much of choice. While O'Neill certainly seems like an excellent hire, I would have made him the interim coach for the season and if things went well then hired permanently. I thought we should have done the same thing with baseball. One other thing, the Star Ledger would like nothing better than to see Julie go given their contentious history. Both sides contributed to that relationship being so poor.

I saw his name pop up in another thread where I think the ECU AD was mentioned as well. I don't know alot about him but could get support something along those lines.

This is from RU site:

"Mike O’Neill enters his second season as head coach of Rutgers women’s soccer after 15 years with the program. The longtime New Jersey native served as the Scarlet Knights’ associate head coach from 2004-13"
