Did you say a younger guy with recruiting stain?Sometimes I question the intelligence of this board...
So you want to hire a guy who is going to be 65 this year who has zero recruiting ties to the northeast and has had allegations of misconduct in his previous stop...
It’s one thing to recruit at and win at LSU, I don’t see how anyone can think that recruits will connect with and want to play for the Mad Hatter...
RU needs a younger guy with recruiting stain that can connect with kids and can bring in really good assistant coaches to develop players (something Ash has not done)
Misconduct? Better do some research. SI was killed by that report.Sometimes I question the intelligence of this board...

So what does Les Miles bring to the table at 65? You think he will be able to recruit to RU? You think recruits will connect with him? You think he is a long term answer when he will Be in his 70s when his first class would be seniors?Misconduct? Better do some research. SI was killed by that report.
Sports Illustrated was later criticized for its lack of substantive evidence outside of interviews with disgruntled former players.

Les Miles can't recruit?? Nick Saban is a year older. Do you think he is done at 70??So what does Les Miles bring to the table at 65? You think he will be able to recruit to RU?

This is comical...you think recruiting success at LSU and Alabama translates to recruiting success at Rutgers?Les Miles can't recruit?? Nick Saban is a year older. Do you think he is done at 70??
Kiffin is a huge risk...but he would be a stud recruiter to RU especially with his Florida pipelineDid you say a younger guy with recruiting stain?
There will be other stains too, but recruiting will improve.
Yes. Les Miles recruited nationally. Coach Ash can't get NJ players. Do you think for a second Coach Ash is better in anything than Les Miles?This is comical...you think recruiting success at LSU and Alabama translates to recruiting success at Rutgers?
Some schools sell them self...Rutgers is NOT ONE of those schools, Bama and LSU are..along with half the SEC and the top of the B1G
I'd sign up.
But is Miles likely to have skeletons in his closet for the ghouls at NJ.com to feast on for months/years, the minute he's signed? Don't know much about his background, but wondering if it's possible not to after coaching at NC level in the SEC.
Ash is really trying his best to pull a Flood impersonation by gutting his team’s depth with the high number of dropouts, arrests, etc. Those RU rankings in 2017 and 2018 probably wouldn’t look so rosey if adjusted.Grandy jury investigations of the coach keeps the reporters off the players. Just sayin.
So, in this week's series of other coaches RU fans gaze lovingly at, Steve Addazio came up, fresh off his win over Wake Forest. Someone even said he is a good recruiter:
Recruiting rankings BC
2013- 87
2014- 42
2015-46 (no 4*)
2016-83 (RU 78)
2017-66 (RU-43)
2018-71 (RU-58)
If Ash recruited this well in years 5 and 6, he would be run out of town. And people want to do that now.

Not at all, Ash sucks at recruiting...and doesn’t have the ability to bring in good assistant coaches that can truly develop lesser talent...Yes. Les Miles recruited nationally. Coach Ash can't get NJ players. Do you think for a second Coach Ash is better in anything than Les Miles?
Unfortunately, however, Hobbs and the donors are solidly behind Ash. They may circle the wagons while RU football circles the bowl.You're missing the point.
The next 3 weeks will decide, in a very big way, the fate of this program.
Not true at all...many will agree no matter what happens this year Ash will be the HC in 2019...You're missing the point.

He played and coached in the Big Ten so please stop with that stupid arguement. He won a national title. Kids will want to play for him. He won't be expensive as he isnt making a lot as an analyst. Match what he is making at Fox and his is on the sidelines. He is 65, not 90. Don't know why you have your panties in a bunch about his age.Not at all, Ash sucks at recruiting...and doesn’t have the ability to bring in good assistant coaches that can truly develop lesser talent...
Again Les was able to recruit nationally because he was at an SEC power he was also a lot younger when he started there in 2005...LSU sells itself...
What Les did in recruiting at LSU has nothing to do with if he’d be successful at RU...plus I believe he was canned because even though recruiting was up he wasn’t able to translate that into championships
Rutgers needs a different coach, but it’s not a close to 70 year old former SEC guy that has been out of the game for a couple years
Stain was 2 years ago , last year was hungry . This year charisma. Get with the times lol!Did you say a younger guy with recruiting stain?
There will be other stains too, but recruiting will improve.
Even if Ash exceeds expectations, I would can him in a heartbeat if Les Miles was a realistic option.Been noodling over this for a while.
If we fail to meet expectations this year - by which, I mean we fail to hit the "over" on number of wins for the season - I think we should hire Les Miles.
He's got a B1G background, he had a history of winning at LSU. He's a recognizable name, so he would recruit well. And he's currently unemployed.
It will costs money, for certain. But I feel confident that, with the proper rationalization, Pat Hobbs could get the money from the big donors. Hell, I'd even kick up some extra coin for it.
And it would, once and for all (I think), settle the question of "what's our upper limit" in football.
Love posters who open with "Sometimes I question the intelligence of this board..."He played and coached in the Big Ten so please stop with that stupid arguement. He won a national title. Kids will want to play for him. He won't be expensive as he isnt making a lot as an analyst. Match what he is making at Fox and his is on the sidelines. He is 65, not 90.

I much fear that there's some NUT trying to read your lips.
I've been a season ticket holder for 31 years and probably donate more than you make.
So you can pretty much go f*ck yourself, as always.
Wow, you donate $10K per year? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Les is certainly an intriguing option and we've yet to ever hire a name coach and if Ash crashes, maybe that's the next thing we try. And if not Les, maybe the 3rd ranked available coach in this article...

Why is this thread OT?
Wondering the same thing.
Who exactly is recruiting the NE for Rutgers and where is the talent?Sometimes I question the intelligence of this board...

RU needs a younger guy with recruiting stain that can connect with kids and can bring in really good assistant coaches to develop players (something Ash has not done)
There could be unrecoverable damage done to the program by then.
I much fear this is currently happening Frederick.
Time to revist this thread. Anyone change their mind in the last 24 hours?
Yeah, your sentiments echo mine. Guy doesn’t know how to be a head coach. Wasted two years on offense. Kids on that side of the ball don’t want to commit because he has no idea what kind of offense he wants to run. I said earlier in this thread that once half this season is over, it’s fair to judge his body of work. I even thought it’d be okay if we lost to Kansas. But this performance today shows everything.I was undecided about Ash until I saw us play a team closer to our level. Now I'm not undecided. The offense did not get one bit better off season and the defense has seemingly regressed, injuries notwithstanding. There is no reason to think at this point that he can continue to build a better team going forward. He's not the answer.
Kiffin is a huge risk...but he would be a stud recruiter to RU especially with his Florida pipeline
Lane Kiffin is a goofball and Les Miles likes to eat grass but what would be politically incorrect about either?Rutgers tries to be too politically correct in everything. There is ZERO chance we ever get Les Miles or Lane Kiffin...not even if they offered to coach for free.
I wouldn’t want Les Miles...I’d be ok with Kiffin but the board would have to be ok with becoming another football factory that places winning over integrityRutgers tries to be too politically correct in everything.

Huh? Read my post above. Neither of them has integrity issuesI wouldn’t want Les Miles...I’d be ok with Kiffin but the board would have to be ok with becoming another football factory that places winning over integrity
Kiffin has huge integrity issues are you kidding me?Huh? Read my post above. Neither of them has integrity issues
Please name Kiffins integrity issues.Kiffin has huge integrity issues are you kidding me?
I wouldn’t want Les Miles because he is old and I don’t think recruits will connect with him, plus he wasn’t exactly a QB whisperer...
