It is health related per Hobbs and Holloway. All the best luck to Hobbs and my apologies for thinking negative right away. Still don't know why they wouldn't have released a concurrent statement stating that and waited.
Rutgers athletic director Pat Hobbs abruptly resigns
- Thread starter Tango Two
- Start date
Take the money you earned and enjoy life Pat. Especially with heart problems, best to just call it quits from all the stress.
Winner for the biggest loser award ^^^ welcome to the ignore list for your fake news and BS
Huh, wow, wish him well with his health. Absolutely the best move for him if he is having any sort of cardiac or heart issues. Best wishes to him and his family and getting it figured out and resolved. Scary stuff.
Agreed, best wishes to Pat for a return to good health!
Wish Pat the best. He set us on a great trajectory.
Sorry to hear it is health related. Hope he is well.
But for RU it is next up. Moving on, the future is bright.
As an executive search task selling this job now versus what we had to offer when he was hired is a huge difference. It was a tough sell then. Now serious candidates will look closely and see potential for something big.
Our recent searches the pool was basically NJ/RU connected insiders of one sort or another. We got lucky and landed candidates from good to outstanding. (Seems I blocked out the one example were we went outside that group and landed a dud.) We shouldn't have to settle for some sort of political sinecure.

Understandable to leave abruptly for health reasons.
Pat did a good job here. I wish him well with his treatments.

It was health related (Heart issues) that really sucks for him, I hope he gets better. Very dangerous.
Thanks Pat! And kick back and enjoy the upcoming MBB and FB seasons. You deserve it!
Yeah, now I wish he had just smashed a couple of interns and had to step down. This sucks.
Don’t think anyone could have expected more than what he managed over the last 9 years. And good for him prioritizing his health and his family over this.
Thanks for everything AD Hobbs. You’ll be missed as AD - but hope you stick around as a fan.
All good wishes to Pat for a quick and total recovery. He did a lot of good things for Rutgers
Agree, he’s was a very good AD, all the best to him. Wish RU would get on bended knee and beg Tim to step back in; although I know that ship has sailed.
After the way powers that be shoved him under the bus?!?!? I have to assume he has far more pride than that.
Also agree with point made above - that we have to be in a much better position now than previous hires and we should be able to attract very good candidates

Hobbs left this place in a MUCH better situation than he found it. Anyone who can say that (especially at RU) has earned the right to kick up his feet and take care of himself.
do we bring back a Julie Herman? Love to see what she can do with the resources and staff we have now.
Lol
I hope this is a joke
Please keep the asswipes involved with the Hermann hiring as far away from this process as possible.
Either idiot post of the year or you have piss poor sources. Either way, looks like a massive fail on your part
Beat me to it.
AD job is no place for someone with heart problems. All the best to Pat
Bet you feel pretty stupid right now.
Prayers for Pat Hobbs. A great man and a great AD.
Praying for his health, deserves a lot of credit for the coming success of the athletic department..
This guy did a very good job. Hired Pike and Schiano and the Olympic teams have gotten somewhat better. From where Rutgers was to get to where they are now was a significant accomplishment! Best wishes in retirement!
God bless you Pat Hobbs. Thank you for all you have accomplished. I hope you have a full speedy recovery.
Hope his health situation improves. Best of luck to him.
As to the next AD, I’d wonder about Brian White the FAU AD. His father was an AD at ND and Duke, brother Danny was AD at Buffalo when they hired Leipold and UCF and Tenn when he hired Heupel at both places. Brian hired Dusty May who took FAU to final 4 two years ago and tourney last year and is now at Michigan. He hired Tom Herman for football who just finished his first year. Seems like a solid record and pedigree.

I don't think the next gig turning out to be with a cardiologist is a best case.
Oh stop. bs .
If true , you should have mentioned before.
Loser for starting this
