OT: Hobbs in trouble...

Is it any wonder that RU has produced some famous actors? -I mean, one way or another, there always seems to be some sort of "drama" going on here.
This is New Jersey. We invented this shit. Jimmy Hoffa says hello. We just never brought it to our hallowed State University--until now.
Yup. From worst to 6th in the B1G.
Star Liar/NJ.com is funny. They write hit pieces on how shitty football and women's volleyball are.
A new coach improves the results tremendously in women's softball, and if everything in the story is true and what others who are familiar with P5 softball practice and training are true, they write a hit piece on a coach and athletics because some players could not hack it.
I'm not a PC person, but I find this word reprehensible.
Yeah you don't use the r word or f word in coaching. You stay away from those and usually you keep your job.
is the p word allowed, or is that forbidden too?
Mike Rice created a list of those words in that video.
It's amazing that Sarge wrote this 10,000 word story and does not provide a counter argument from current players and/or parents who support the coach. Did they even try to get that side of the story or was the narrative set and he built the story around that narrative?
Oh look, page 5.
I can't help but wonder...why does everyone believe the reporter's account of the conversation? Like Pernetti, Hobbs is a dumbass for apologizing, and he made it doubly worse by sending a writen apology. Now the media has carte blanche to embellish the contents of the phone call.

When you’re defending your athletic department as one that doesn’t tolerate abuse, etc it’s generally not a good idea to do so by calling someone “f’ing scum.”
Look, I get it, I don’t see much merit to the abuse claim, but Hobbs has now made the situation much worse. It’s sloppy.

You believe this statement? Why should anyone believe the Star Liar and their minions? Didn't they make shit up to drum Bob Mulcahy out of town?
"After NJ Advance Media contacted Rutgers Tuesday with questions about the allegations, Hobbs called one of the reporters working on the story and launched into a profanity-laced tirade that ended with him saying “You guys are f------ scum. Why should I help you people?”"

And when some local kid gets down
They try an' drum him outta town
This has nothing to do with whether the girls were disgruntled players or not..nor Hobbs rant to the press...albeit ill considered...complaints were made to the athletics department...if RU followed procedure and dealt with each one according to policy and NCAA regulations...then there should be a paper trail supporting them and they should get ahead of this story and fight it as hard as possible.
Bringing on players that have no right playing on such a high level will always cause problems. I bet not none of them would would even sniff a spot at TCNJ. They are way over their heads trying to be D1 Athletes..I support the Coach here realizing there is so much dead weight when she took over program.
I hope they did just that...
Yeah that's another one that can get you in trouble. R and f are worse though.
However, there is a right way to handle that situation. A big ten schollie is guaranteed for 4 years. Abusing athletes to get them to leave is not they way to handle it. Not saying our coach did that but I do know that it happens. Not cool.
Is there a modern coach's guide? Or do people just watch the Mike Rice video and write all the bad words down?
Should have stopped at “Hobbs is a dumbass”. Our history of clown ADs continues.
Duh, easy solution here, only make the chubby ones run downhill
Goodale had to deal with this when he started at RU..He was faced with a team that were D3 Wrestlers left by former staff trying to act like a D1 Program..There were plenty of people trying to get rid of him his 1st couple of seasons because some of the team was not on board with him!
True - those are average times for track sprinters.
100 yards isn't very far, and 17 seconds should be basic for B1G SB athlete.
Here's a sprint workout from VT women's softball. Rutgers coach is right in there time wise (as mentioned the interval is a key and that was excluded)

These are tough times on the banks. Looking for a football coach to right the ship. Now we have another witch hunt.Pat Hobbs was the Dean of Seton Hall Law School. I would think he can handle the media. Although we don’t know the facts of this accusation.
Time will tell.
Its an incredibly interesting scenario and very un Rutgers like. My feeling is if Hobbs has not hired Greg by now, he has no intention of bringing him back. Under the scenario you present, the message to Hobbs is maybe he should rethink that decision.
Just an FYI to everyone, Sarge didn't actually write the article. Some guy named Matthew Stanmyre did. Sarge just tweeted it out.
This sounds like a bunch of disgruntled players that were processed out by the new staff. Weight shaming??? They're scholarship athletes in the B1G and should be held to high physical fitness standards to actually be competitive and win. The culture was so bad under the new staff that they improved from 19-31 to 29-26. Time to get in better condition, if you can't take the running. :Pray: :Praying: there's no video.
What? The team was horrible so you process them out ASAP. Half the team?
Why? He was an approved volunteer assistant.
overreaction
No matter what the media says, there is no excuse for Hobbs’ language.

Virginia Tech Softball's Conditioning Plan

First off there is a 1 min rest between reps in that plan. Often the rest is 1.5 mins. The way the athletes described the resulting issues during it I would guess there was insufficient rest/recovery.
Secondly, 19 vs 17 makes a big difference in repeats as it dictates how much oxygen is being used up and how anaerobic the athlete goes. Doing 17 sec repeats with no rest would be a bad idea but not surprising since most coaches I have met have NO FUKKING clue on how to actually condition athletes compared to say T&F coaches.
A coach can be a great football or soccer coach yet not really understand how to condition the human body for peak performance...that is why they have S&C staff.
Spur, I never swear , but these people need to be put in their place. Decades of these attacks warrants it. They wouldn’t be allowed to cover car washes at any other Power Five school. Enough is enough. It is well past the time to pull their credentials to Rutgers. Just start our own media to cover Rutgers-all aspects Academics, Cultural Events, and Athletics.These so called “reporters” have no idea how to cover a State University.
We're in the Big Ten. There are rules against processing them out.
All Rutgers has to do is ignore this meaningless story for a week or two and it goes away...Rutgers tends to always play in to the media’s hands...I’m not a huge Pat Hobbs fan, but calling for his firing is ridiculous...
Welp, then you better tell that to Michigan, tOSU and the rest of our conference mates. How do you think we got those Michigan transfers? Utter BS.
The husband was investigated for similar behavior at the JuCo as well. That's enough smoke for me.
