Why do people live and die on message board speculation!?
I don't know, but it beats the hell out of hanging out here just to defend newspaper reporters...

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.
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.VK called this. This is good.
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.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.
Just trying to connect with us South Jersey natives.Rhodes is another Iowa native. I'm sure if he and Ash cannot coach they can teach us a lot about growing corn and soybeans. We are after all the garden state.
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.I'm sure Coach Mullen will be happy to have Rhoads on his RU staff.
we beat his defense in 2011 with Schiano.
This one's for you Big E!we beat his defense in 2011 with Schiano.
we beat him as the then coach of Iowa State in the Pinstriper
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

Whelp....
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.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.
I never take these rumors seriously, I just believe they provide exciting speculation.

lol - well, I was referring to Al, who's eternal optimism insulates him from stress, but you raise a good point.You would have to make your own sheep jokes and tell them to yourself! :cry:
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?
