Hope it does not hurt recruiting.

Sadly I think it does. I'm shocked he's gone
I think it might actually help recruiting. He had a miserable offense last year .
Pushed? or Jumped?
Hope if he was pushed, Ash has it all in control & is set with a dazzling replacement.
Hope if he jumped - that Ash has already figured out the next move

I really wanna know why he left to go be a position coach. I know he's worked with Herman but confuses me
This hurts recruiting. And many people who felt he wasnt a good oc....well, let's see who we get now.
This was rumored for the last few days.
So far some of the 4 stars have already tweeted that they are still committed.
He was a great recruiter but maybe not quite ready to be OC. He should do well at Texas.
Good luck to him.
Now we have to see who will replace him.

Anyone that thinks that drew going is a good thing, is sadly mistaken. Not only did he get some offensive studs for next year, but he's an ace recruiter as well.
This should help claim people down:
Guy, 90% of the coaches out there would leave for a job at Texas, like it or not.
He's finally at a job he's remotely qualified for.
Even with us being a bottom feeder P5 team, he was woefully unqualified to be calling plays at this level. I really wish Ash was able to get Mehringer here as a QB or WR Coach, and find someone else to be OC in his 1st year here.

Mehringer was a good recruiter and the kids really seemed to like him. He was not a good offensive coordinator. However, we need to find someone who could run the power spread and run it effectively. I don't know why Mehringer would leave being a position coach, to an offensive coordinator, to go back to being a position coach. Unless Texas paid him substantially more money. Which could easily be the case. Either that or he was pushed out.
Does an awful job and flees. Nice! So loyal to Ash who gave him the biggest break of all time. I would have rather Ash demote him as he did seem like a good recruiter but don't let the door hit him on the way out.
Bad hire from day one. Lot of people on this board have some significant apologizing to do and crow to eat.
Hope Ash brings someone with real D1 experience, ala, The Fridge.

Don't underestimate his ability to connect with recruits. Despite a dreadful year offensively, his younth and enthusiasm I thought was refreshing. Wouldn't doubt he taught the coaches how to post gifs on twitter.
While I don't think that changing the OC every year is a recipe for success, our offense was historically bad this past season and IMO a change was needed.
Now, how about the special teams coach ?
Well time to move on. We did have a pretty bad offense this year. Hopefully it won't hurt recruiting. If we get a top name OC then it looks like a step up. We are probably locked into a spread offense now, if for nothing else for continuity's sake with our current players and offensive recruits. The new OC is a key hire that could catapult us forward and help retain recruits. Choose wisely Coach Ash and please don't limit your selection to those you worked with in the past, like Kyle Flood did when he first took over.
I don't disagree with your first sentence, but I LOL'd at the last one. Hope he spent more time on offensive schemes and teaching his players and position coaches how to implement his schemes.
Giving up an OC position at a P5 program for an up and coming HC to become a position coach speaks volumes.
Follow the money (OC vs WR) and draw your own conclusions.
Will Rutgers stay with the spread offense concept or will the new OC modify the offensive strategy with Ash approval.
Interesting
HAIL TO PITT!!!!

Holy crap... did NOT see this coming.
I hope we hav something in place because the longer we wait, the bgger risk we run hanging on to recruits.

What a rat bastard punk. He's given the opportunity of a lifetime by Ash and he runs away after one year to take A DEMOTION. Hope to see him fail.
Kirk Ciaaracca ? (sp ?) has great OC experience at WMU now. Daughter still on our soccer team ?
Yeah uhm this is NOT a "crow-eating" scenario. He left for Texas, didn't get fired, big differences.
We will be just fine..if you believe in Ash and he is the right guy, losing a 28 year old who produced one of the worst offenses in college ffootball isnt going to hurt us
