He has to. There are more people involved in this because of the money aspect.Hobbs pulled the trigger but there has to be a sharpshooter that is aiming the gun.I think that a monetary comittment has been made and we will be the beneficiaries of it.
Funny, I just unfollowed Chris Ash on twitter yesterday. Clearly me unfollowing him was the last straw.
I don't proclaim myself an insider. I have explained a rumor in certain circles, in as delicate a manner as not to blow it out of proportion. It looks like it has been dealt with, and everyone can move on.
Actually that would be Iowa. It's now being reported the BOG gave permission to fire him two weeks ago. We also got reports that high level boosters were incensed during that game.
I’d prefer Jones first, then Leavitt, then a few other guys. Schiano would be my last choice.
Schiano HC, Leavitt DC with Nunzio OC wouldn't be a bad deal I think.
Rather get Leach but I wouldn't complain.

Maybe Ohio State has a hotshot assistant coach available. What could go wrong?
Leavitt reminds me of a wacky head coach in a football movie. Give him credit for building the USF program but then again, how much of that was him and how much of it was the surplus of talent in his backyard.

Leavitt would be a very good DC but that's not likely, if he's going to be DC he may just replace Barnett at FSU and rejoin Taggart.
So recruiting an ivy league school translates into having the relationships to bring in players to compete in the B1G east division. Ok.
And a guy beat Chris ash. Then lost to Army a week later 42 - 13 and list to liberty 35 to 17 and Miami of ohio earlier this year Maybe we should add the coach from eastern mich and the guy Kansas fired. They kicked our ass too.
I didn't say they weren't quality coaches. This is a chance for Rutgers to put up or get out.
This is a big time job that requires relationships and a resume of winning against P5 teams. The next experiment needs to begin with the right ingredients.
I will wait until dinner tonight and have something nice for desert..
You were the first one I thought of when I saw that Nunzio would be interim (and may be a candidate at the end of the season), but I don't understand part I bolded. Help me understand that scenario.
Leavitt has already pulled a Kyle Flood with some shennigans and coverups. In case anyone forgot why he got canned at USF...
Leavitt was fired after an investigation by USF officials found that he had struck a player in the locker room during halftime of a game against Louisville the previous November 21. Leavitt claimed he was merely trying to console the player and never struck him. School officials found that Leavitt was not truthful about what happened, and also found that he had interfered with the investigation. ESPN's Ivan Maisel reported that Leavitt's interference, which included telling several players and coaches to change their stories, was the biggest factor in the decision to fire him.
Might be a great coach but this is not a guy you want in the NYC market, particularly at RU, which the local media loves to dig.

This was decided two weeks ago. Schiano, Jones and Leavitt were contacted for interest two weeks ago according to reports. Everything is leaking now.
Right now, we need somebody who can get the program to respectable, we don't need the "ultimate coach". Take someone like Jones or Schiano, get us to 6 or 7 win seasons, and the job becomes much more attractive for us to hire an "up and coming" hotshot the next time around..
If nothing else, this is a good sign that the powers that be fully recognize what's at stake and the urgency of the situation.
I was one of those, and I am so happy I was wrong. This is so unlike previous Rutgers decision making.
My guess would be Schiano... wouldn't make sense to anoint an interim coach for the rest of the season and then immediately bring a new HC in..
Pump the brakes, sir. Hobbs completed the easiest of the next set of steps.
My apologies to jay hq, when I 1st saw your thread, and it's title being a long, long time RU fan I thought something nasty about "your humour." So I had to go check the Ledger out. Holy crap, it was real!
What I am saying about Surace is that he is recruiting better than Ivy League players. It is a lot tougher to even have a chance of being accepted to Princeton than RU. He is also a Jersey guy. I seriously doubt he would leave Princeton anyway. He played there and his wife played soccer there. Just thought you were taking a happy moment (Ash departure) and choosing to dump on other coaches. If not, no biggie, let's just get the guy who is best for RU!

The massive and deafening sound made by the reverse revenue flow finally awoke them!
I grew up and still live 15 mins from Princeton. My High School graduation was held in Princeton Chapel. I love eastern football. I love seeing the Tigers win in all sports when not playing Rutgers. Jersey pride. Get him on staff..ok by me. Nuff said.
