Paul Rhoads DC rumors

Rhoads, with his hc experience and dc pedigree, would be huge and tell me that Ash is for real. Would be an excellent hire for a first time coach.

So a OSU fan hears from a message board that Rhoads is going to Columbus. And a Rutgers fan hears he's coming to Piscataway. And that's how rumors spread...

Why do people live and die on message board speculation!? No one knows anything about a Defensive Coordinators. Not little birdies, not message board posters. No one.

It's why we frequent the message boards :smiley:
 
VK called this. This is good.
While I appreciate the credit I didn't "call it". I thought it would be a good hire and hope it happens but I didn't see it was done. No offense to OP but I don't recall him as being a news breaking guy on here.
 
When it's too good to be true, it usually doesn't turn out. Yet I'm hoping OP proves to be correct.
 
Yeah. Actually, I'm starting to doubt this rumor. A couple reasons. One, he was making $1.8M and while I don't know the details of his firing, I doubt Ash can afford to spend more than $600K on a DC unless he's willing to exceed his staff budget (which he should). Second, I would think there could be a bidding war for Rhoads as a DC - and it's hard to see how RU could win it.
I mentioned in the other thread where I brought him up that he got a lump sum payment of 4.5M when he was let go so not sure if he'd have the same issues as you can see sometimes when the contract payments are amortized over the life of the remaining contract. I don't know the details but the lump sum payment makes me think his next contract won't be as much of an issue.

About 500-600K is actually what I was hoping we'd get him for because I wouldn't want to budget more than that for DC. I'd want the resources to be used on the OC instead. 500-600K is a solid salary, it's not the high end of the range but it's not the bottom either.

I'm sure Coach Mullen will be happy to have Rhoads on his RU staff.
what we found out during the coaching search is that no one on these boards is connected and knows anything. they all think they have connections and they were all wrong about ash.
 
we beat his defense in 2011 with Schiano.

I loved Schiano and would have loved for him to be our HC, but it's time to move on.

This is Ash's Football team now and it's time for Rutgers football to move forward in a positive way. Idc who was able to beat Rhodes. The dude is freaking qualified
 
He is a really good x's and o's guy. He was just okay as a recruiter not horrible not great. He'd be a good hire with the right staff.
 
Rhoads has a contract with ISU for $2MM a year until 2021. If they pay the difference between what he makes and the $2MM, it might be a good deal for him and RU.

Look at minor buzz ash is getting great to see after flood complete tamping down.

But can you imagine the rocket ship if gs was back too bad
 
I don't know about any birdies but the real word from reporters is that these rumors are not based on facts.
 
Never ever go by fake rumors. If everyone would just stick to the facts, there will be a lot less stress in the world and this board.
Given how much people seem to create stress for themselves here, I'm pretty sure stress is the glue that holds this board together. Get rid of it and there would only be one person left posting here.
 
I never take these rumors seriously, I just believe they provide exciting speculation.

The flip side of that are that some knuckleheads may think that the reason that he is not coming here is because of something that we did or did not do, when in reality perhaps he was never even approached!

Besides, our HC is one of the most elite DCs is the country before he became a HC, so if we are going to spend extra money on a hire, it would be smarter to spend it on the OC rather than the DC. Our defense is now in good hands no matter what.

Wouldn't that make a lot more sense?

You would have to make your own sheep jokes and tell them to yourself! :cry:

I agree with that 100%
