OFFICIAL: ASH FIRED!!!! ; Nunzio Campanile interim; McNulty also gone

[RUSK97]

Maybe Butch Davis?

Ugh, not too crazy about that choice considering what be pulled at UNC.

Thank God, now he can take HIS new traditions to the mid west since he pissed on all of ours. Bring back the CHOP and AXE

Hobbs brought CHOP and AXE back already.

 

[RUSK97]

Are we firing them after they get to 6 or 7 wins or are they resigning?

If they show they can win here in today’s environment (read:B1G East), then they clearly can walk on water and will get poached.

 

[Chris95]

This has been in the works for 2 weeks. Hobbs already has everything finalized, signed and sealed. It’s just a matter of time for the new HC to be announced.

 

[tico brown]

Wonder why McNulty got the axe as well?

Was this a coup attempt by Campanile, whispering into the ear of Hobbs?

He is OC and HC? Who made that decision?

Would like to know the back story.

Maybe the 16 points in 3 games vs P5 opponents didnt help.

I don’t care if we ever bring back any of those so called traditions. I just want to win with or without Schiano.

 

[JMORC2003]

Maybe Ohio State has a hotshot assistant coach available. What could go wrong?

Better yet, retain

This has been in the works for 2 weeks. Hobbs already has everything finalized, signed and sealed. It’s just a matter of time for Greg Schiano to be announced.

Fixed it for you

I feel like i just made parol! So pumped!

I feel like I've just been vindicated after serving time for a crime I never committed.

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!

Then he should hire Schiano's agent and use this exposure to squeeze a couple more nickels out of Princeton's $25 billion endowment.

1)I'm more patient then most but I'm OK with giving a coach every chance you can.

2)Is there a benefit to firing a coach, and then bringing in a coach midseason? Giving the new coach more time to bring in recruits for year one?

 

[Rutgers8086]

he's a damned good coach. The 49ers loved him as LB coach under Harbaugh.

He smacked a kid At USF and tried to cover it up.

6 wins will get them poached? Where would GS go after posting a 6-6 season?

 

[AntiG]

hence why there's no chance he'll get a HC job again. But as an assistant, he can get a second chance.

If you can perform God-like acts, you’ll get poached.

So are we running a football program, or a Pre Trial Intervention program?

Anybody else I'd probably say Tampa Bay.

He's already been an assistant twice...once as Colorado DC and did a very nice job improving their defense and then poached by Oregon as their DC before leaving on his own...probably cause the HC job went to Cristobal. Now he's analyst at FSU rejoining Taggart.

Well, 6-6 would be an improvement at Tennessee...

 

[17Q66]

In fairness, this is a very un-Rutgers-like thing to do. Hopefully this is indicative of a change in philosophy within the AD and BOG.

I think this is in line with the AD's philosophy from the moment he was hired.

Big thanks to Harbaugh for putting the spanking on us.

Imma start calling him Jim Yamamoto.

LOL

No big time program is poaching Greg Schiano after a 6 win season. To leave a B1G Rutgers program, that’s what it would take for him to depart.

If he takes the job he either retires here or is fired.

 

[KevH]

Buh is gone next year. McNulty is gone mostly because Camp was clearly the best choice to be interim. He's a possible future OC or even HC, has NJ ties, Schiano ties, his brother is also a possible future Rutgers coach.

Are you ready for "Jersey Guys" off Broadway debut on The Banks? HC, OC and DC?

 

[KevH]

It would be gangster AF if Greg was already making personnel decisions about the coaching staff.

In September.
In the year before he's supposed to be coaching here.

It would be, and it wouldn't shock me. The thought of RU being proactive and deliberate makes me all tingly inside.

 

[BillyC80]

Unbelievable. Renewed hope for the future, and renewed vigor to my fandom.

 

[beaced]

Who’s Davis?

You don't know Davis? I thought every one did.

 

[RUSK97]

You don't know Davis? I thought every one did.

No!! Which Davis? Now I feel like I should.

 

[rufeelinit]

It will be interesting to see how this plays out over the next couple of weeks. In the short term you can only hire someone who is not a current HC. That rules out Rhule, Moorhead, Clawson, Narduzzi, Norvell and Candle. So you are down to Schiano, Jones, and perhaps Leavitt. If this is already preordained for Schiano without a true national search I will be a little disappointed.

 

[Roy_Faulker]

Hobbs brought CHOP and AXE back already.

where did you see that?

 

[Block R]

I think this is in line with the AD's philosophy from the moment he was hired.

I hope so but then why wasn't Ash fired in November 2018? Hobbs either failed to get the rest of the administration to buy into the change at the time or he truly believed Ash deserved another year. Both scenarios are troubling but for now I'll focus on the positive in that it wasn't allowed to drag out this season.

We need someone with “stain”.

 

[RUDave_01]

I'm beyond thrilled that the program is going to have life again. I'm surprised that Pat pulled the trigger, but am pleased that he sent the signal that we are committed to success and not sticking with the status quo.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

I feel like playing this old game for some reason....

 

[KevH]

where did you see that?

In the form of Ash's pink slip, I think.
