Rutgers athletic director Pat Hobbs abruptly resigns
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Not if days before you learned you have a life altering health condition
What?? That's your opinion which by the way assumes the worst. There have been numerous positive public statements about Hobbs from various RU people. What's your definition of " external compassion" ?? You have no evidence about anything just speculation. As an example many who retire after years of employment shun parties or celebrations.
That wasn't "what's being described" at all.
And the only cover-up was the one you allege Hobbs did. RUs only job was to fire him for it, not hold a town hall.
Speaking of Vegas one hour ago I tried to place my Over/Under Bet on Rutgers this season ( would picked the over of course) but the Sportsbook said Rutgers has been pulled from the bet lines. I asked why and the attendant said he had to ask his manager. Came back and said Rutgers was pulled due to a firing in the Athletic Department. I explained the AD situation. They weren’t sure when it would be back up for RU.
Oh I completely agree. It’s also possible that Hobbs did nothing wrong from a public perspective, but Rutgers is unhappy with the way he left without providing proper notice. There are plenty of plausible explanations for why the administration wasn’t warm and fuzzy about his departure. I just think it’s denial to act like the way this was rolled out WAS how it always is when someone well respected leaves. It wasn’t.
Little less snowboarding and more paying attention to what’s actually being discussed would suit you well (that, and some additional reading comprehension as I never alledged Hobbs did anything)
Who is talking about a party? Not one person even said publicly that they are keeping Pat in our thoughts and prayers. Thats my definition.
Could go either way for different reasons but there is nothing strange about this. The Friday news dump and lack of public concern from our administration about a health issue significant enough to trigger an abrupt resignation like this. Those are the only strange things about this.
A little less not being the board's most outspoken dumbass might serve you well?
Tell me you’re not following what’s being discussed, without telling me you’re not following what’s being discussed
Tell me you can't distinguish conversations on Reddit vs this board while still not realizing it and thinking you're the smart one.
I assume the administration may know more about the diagnosis than we do. If stress related and doctor advised to step away from a stressful job a year before retirement age..probably no need for overboard public concern from the admin
Your first reading/writing comprehension lesson: "discussed" and "described" are two distinct words with different meanings. And yes, that difference is relevant here.
Homework: Use each in a new sentence, and tell us why the distinction matters within the greater context of those 18 pages you cited.
Alrhough im not a body language expert I'll pretend anyway.... imo he is not unfazed as evidenced by his awkward head rubbing immediately preceding speaking on that topic.
Eat a dick, and read the thread
The rumors have been rehashed adnauseum
I like Pat
Obviously I hope they’re not true
And wish him nothing but the best
I read the entire thread.
And yes, you arguing (incorrectly) that RU would be guilty of a cover-up if the worst case scenario, as speculated by rando anons on Reddit (again, not on this board), holds true absolutely shows your wholehearted support of Hobbs and RU. Strong work.
Do you even know what it is you're trying to say? Because your entire post history in this thread has contradicted whatever it was, one way or the other.
Show me where I said “Rutgers would be guilty of a cover up”
I said if what’s being speculated about Pat turns out to be true (which, as I’ve said multiple times, I sure as shit hope it’s not), then yes, Pat’s actions would absolutely be considered a cover up
Question- this so called transgression between Hobbs and a subordinate- is this new or pre Rutgers?
I am so confused
I am so confused
My man ...that's literally what I was responding to when I said there was no possibility of a cover-up. It was a sub-string that was about RU (possibly covering up), not Hobbs. Then, you argued with my quoted post, saying it was/would be a cover-up.
At this point, I really should make fun of you big time for being the one to miscomprehend what he was reading and responding to, but I'll be nice and let you save face 😁
If that’s the case, I stand corrected
I was referring to Hobbs, not Rutgers
Glutton for punishment, lol. I can barely read more than a few posts at a time and then I have to stop.
I didn’t speculate if there would be - it was a hypothetical. I was saying that if privacy was what Hobbs said he wanted that wound’ve been communicated to ensure he was left alone.
Agreed! When my wife was diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer many years ago, we booked a trip to Disney World with the kids
Mike Lynch is missing after his yacht sank. In a bizarre coincidence, his fraud codefendant died 2 days earlier.
Stephen Chamberlain, the codefendant of tech tycoon Mike Lynch in his US fraud trial, died after being hit by a car on Saturday, his lawyer said.
It’s all connected. Hobbs is trying to hide from John Wick. Now it’s all adding up.
It's not the Hobbshi guy, not gonna name him, but he was relentless for a while. Not in this thread though.
I heard Pat is headed to FSU to spearhead their certain acceptance into the BIG 😉
So is Pat just gone gone?
Like cleaned out his office already.
Email deactivated.
Access to facilities removed.
Gave his notice on Friday and just gone?
Not even a 2 week notice or anything?
Won't be involved in selecting his successor?

Seems like we have more detectives searching for a " crime" than we have do or die RU fans. It sucks when " fans" are constantly looking for negatives. I doubt fans of schools like ND or Ohio State are so interested in uncovering bad news about their schools.
