Possible New O Line Coach List.

[BlockR]

Here is an early list of six potential candidates Ash and McNulty could consider:

[RUfinal4]

Darnell Stapleton would be a fan favorite if hired. Has Steelers and Pats NFL playing experience as well.

Any other former RU O-lineman with NFL experience doing coaching currently?

Yes, but being a fan favorite has got to be the lowest rung on the level of importance, right? Much more so, he's got to mesh instantly with the offensive staff, the offensive line, the rest of the offensive players, and be a good recruiter. Darnell knows the area better than most of not all of the candidates listed above, so he's got that going for him.

 

[DJ Spanky]

What about Kyle Flood?

Bob Bostad
Bart Miller
Darnell Stapleton
Pat Flaherty
Mike Sullivan
Andrew AUrich

Comment by Kratch on Flaherty:
"When Flood was fired and I was covering the Giants, I had high school coaches calling me unprompted about how they wanted him considered. He used to do a HS camp every summer in Hunterdon County. And the guys he coached - O'Hara, Diehl, Snee, Seubert - are all still tied to the area and love him. I actually think Flaherty would make the biggest local splash of all these names, even Stapleton. "

 

[RRRRUUUU]

Stapleton!!

IMO should only be 3:

1. Flaherty
2. Stapleton
3. Aurich

They all have NJ ties>>>>CRITICAL!

GET IT DONE!

MO

Flaherty, Stapleton, Sullivan in this order only because they need someone who is in the same Tom Coughlin, no BS ilk as Flaherty is. Otherwise hire Stapleton and hope he moves up the ladder.

 

[rurahrah000]

Knowing Ash, he will go with someone who was an absolute failure in multiple places.

 

[BlockR]

repeat thread
Mr Mike Leach

 

[RU4Real]

It's Flaherty's time.

 

[JimmyTheSaint]

Flaherty is perfect for this. Good coach with a great resume and if those comments are true that he has a loyal group of coaches supporting him then this is a no brainer. Plus he may think it is an inside path to the HC spot next year if Ash is gone.

 

[Capiche]

Rumors on the OSU board is that OL coach Greg Studrawa could be leaving.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

All 6 sound good to be honest.

 

[JMORC2003]

You forgot about him definitely having ties to the Midwest.

Or Sweden

Ryan doesn't like assistants named Greg?

From Twitter:

 

[OldManRiver]

I liked Flaherty would be nice...was on Dick Anderson's staff here as well Graber I think

 

[shoprufan]

Well we gone Boo for DC and Whoo for OL.

 

[tico brown]

All 6 sound good to be honest.

Maybe TOO good

 

[Section124]

Flaherty would be great. His son played at SJR and he used to do the OL camps there. He would be a great recruiter. I would think he has higher aspirations but his family liked it here.

 

[MorrisAsh]

Pat Flaherty. Make it happen. He still has a house in NJ.

Worst case scenario Flaherty could take over as interim HC. He has enough gravitas to be able to take over the lockerroom.

 

[Mr_Twister]

Hire the one with highest potential as a recruiter. Ignore ties to NJ area. Fool’s Gold thinking local when it comes to pulling together a roster. The bane of Rutgers Athletics for decades. That ship has sailed.

Walking into a house and saying Rutgers gave me the opportunity to achieve this here Super Bowl ring will be a nice selling point

I love this idea ..but then again Hobbs has shown himself to be stubborn and shortsided.

I know Flaherty had good relationships with NJ HS coaches but how many years removed is this? Is coaching college kids the same as coaching the professionals? Wouldntvthere be a learning curve that he would have to be willing to teach in order to come down to the college level? Not saying he couldnt do it but rather does he want to do it at this point. Does he want to be back on the road recruiting? Lots to consider when you are up at the NFL level and looking to move back to college. Some guys love it Some guys can do without it all

 

[sherrane]

What about Kyle Flood?

Not only that, he's got head coaching experience for when RU gets rid of Ash. Home run hire!

 

[BlockR]

maybe Dan Quinn will get fired after this season and he will be available. Jersey guy,coached at Morristown high school.

I had raised the possibility of Bostad here:
https://rutgers.forums.rivals.com/threads/blazek-to-north-dakota-state.160072/#post-3666626
And know it looks like Ash and McNulty are pursuing him:
https://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/...sistants-contract-details-are-noteworthy.html
Ash and offensive coordinator John McNulty are interested in potentially hiring Wisconsin inside linebackers coach Bob Bostad, a person with knowledge of the situation told NJ Advance Media, and he may be a coach they can land if the money is there.
Bostad, who worked with Ash at Wisconsin and with McNulty at two NFL stops, made $370,000 this past season - only $20,000 more than departed offensive line and associate head coach A.J. Blazek made. A healthy pay bump and the ability to coach the line again - Bostad has spent the bulk of his career with that group - could be enough to snag him from a Big Ten rival.

I assume the cost of living in Wisky is a tad less than NJ.

 

[rutger80]

Not sure if he's a fit or not, but the Colts fired their OL coach Dave DeGuglielmo. They went from 57 sacks in 2017 to 18 this past season, a league low.

 

[Scarlet16E]

I played OL and DL in HS football, but the way I look at it is this:
If I know who the OL coach is, it's probably because the O-line has not been very good.

 

[RU1993]

Then why did they fire him

It's a mystery:
