Poll re: Ash coaching OSU

How do you feel about Ash coaching OSU in the bowl game?

  • I would prefer he didn't and got started here immediately

  • I don't mind and I'm glad for the exposure


Results are only viewable after voting.
Well, although early, the results I would have expected after reading some posts on here.
 
When I heard this the first thing that came to mind is that he doesn't respect us. We hire a co-defensive coordinator who dictates terms and conditions to a very inexperienced AD. Wow, this really makes us look small time. Oh well?
 
I'm sure most of the people who want Chris Ash to start immediately are the same time of people who would quit their job without giving notice to their employer and/or transitioning their work to someone else.

The idea this is even an issue is incomprehensible to me.

We need a "do-not-like" button.

This isn't an accounting job! You're dealing with a multi million dollar program that's in disarray! He needs to get his staff together, get in the phone with potential recruits while getting acclimated with the way things work around here.

Competitor! When you go to a competitor you give notice, you offer to transition, then they walk you to the door. Not a competitor you are spot on. OSU=competitor.

If for some crazy reason, Meyer will help Coach Ash recruit for Rutgers, and send a few 4 and 5 stars our way, then I'm all for the delay.

I doubt he's taking orders from you and I would bet he knows the job better than you also. so rage on

I've moved from one competitor to another (partners for a global software company) in a senior role, and in both cases I completed my work and gave notice before moving on. It's the right thing to do.
 
I want Ash to start immediately, but I understand and respect why he isn't. He is doing the right thing, but that right thing has a negative impact on us. Some things in life are ever so slightly complicated.

I'm in IT. Gone to three competitors. Done the right thing, and been walked to the door three times within an hour. Maybe it was because I was in sales.
 
The poll is stupid. Everyone prefers he be here, just most of us understand that these situations are pretty complex and we shouldn't start asking for his head.

To be fair, that is more common in sales, often because of the fear you're going to take business with you and/or try to screw with accounts on your way out. And I'm also aware in some industries going to a competitor is verboten and you will get walked out the door. But still, I prefer people doing the right thing to not and I will never in a million years judge someone negatively for fulfilling their commitments to a prior employer.

We are 100% on the same page with fulfilling commitments.
 
None of us really know what he is doing right now but should have a better idea following the official announcement today. He may already have some people committed to br on his staff and even those who he may retain from the present staff. I am sure we will know more in the next couple of days. This is not unfamiliar territory for him as based on his resume he too has moved around quite a bit every 2-4 years and knows how important is to let a school and head coach know what his going on.

Folks, why not just stop and listen and see what is going on. We really haven't heard much of any depth or length from him or even Hobbs other than the unofficial naming of our new head coach. Unfortunately the usual negative comments from the same folks as well as Politi run rampid here as if it were the gospel truth. This couldn't be more wrong than it is. Today he could very well indicate who if any coaches are being retained and perhaps one of two that might be coming our way.

Use common sense! And I really do not think he will be trying to flip anyone from yhe current OSU commit list unless he gets an ok from Urban Meyer. This isn't Donofrio...this is a first class person who has moved up the coaching ladder because he apparently does things right. To think otherwise is foolishness.
 
So many threads for a question that was asked before he signed with Rutgers. He was still getting paid by OSU when he was asked that question. It would have been strange for him to answer it any other way at that time.

That simple fact seem to go over so many people's heads here since INTERNET RAGE!!!!!!!! ARGUGHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

People are looking to something to be negative about.

Once he signs with Rutgers maybe he will have a different opinion or not, we shall find out, but no one knows.

nevertheless.... THE HELL WITH FACTS!! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
