Smart, cheap or frugal ?

Could be any of the three or all of the three or some combination of the three or none of the three. Good post.
Abro, the budget for assistants is 2.7 million, which places us around 7-8 in the Confernce. Do you think Ash get a bonus far saving $$ or he is hiring the staff he thinks will win for him?
Cheap. Very upset with the coaching hires. To me, it says we don't intend to compete for a while. I also wouldn't be surprised if Ash got the job because he promised he would try to win on the cheap. This is the kind of staff you hire when you go through a Terry Shea era and are rebuilding from the ground up. We were 8-5 just two years ago. We don't need to rebuild from the ground up. Yet I don't know how you compete with a staff that will largely be learning on the job. This ain't the big east. we're going up against Harbaugh, Meyer and Dantonio, among others.
Prefer the Maryland approach to hiring.

Ash is smart enough to take his time and not blow his budget on just an OC & DC while going the cheap route on position coaches.
He's being frugal to not overspend but still get up and coming talent to be on his staff.
If Ash does a hire on the cheap, it probably will be a retread with experience that wants to resurrect his career and Ash will be able to use the experience that coach brings to help everyone on his staff do their job a little better.
So maybe it will be all three and they will add up a winning combination

You don't trust Ash? Got it because you and Abro's complaints are nothing more than saying you think Ash is a poor decision maker
Truly a horrendous fanbase
Know Ash hired his OC already and he's an up and comer like the new OL coach .
The experienced ( retread ) is the new Special Teams Coordinator with 35 years coaching experience. 15 of them in the B1G
To me Ash is spending wisely getting the people that will make a difference, while taking his time looking for the ones that will fit in his plans for RU and not break the budget .
Some of these guys as just upset that "their guy" didn't get hired, whether it was Schiano or Golden or whoever. Anything Ash does will be criticized with these people.
This. This and too many trolls on her from other schools posing and riling ya'll up.
Ash is looking for qualified subordinates to carry out his vision. He has said as much. He's not Flood needing to speed 500k on a coach better than him (Fridge) to bail him out. Parcels, Bobby Knight, Vince Lombardi once coached at Army.
Get a f'in grip dude. We have no idea if Durkin's approach of hiring a bunch of random coaches with HC experience or Ash's approach of building a close knit staff, will lead to a better team.
What a joke you are.
3 of 9 coaches have been hired.
Abro is definitely not a troll but I think he'd be better served taking a Christmas Vacation from the boards. Posts like original in this thread are not conducive to healthy debate and really add nothing to the discussion.
Ash's statements about needing to more positively improve the culture around here is so true.
We have people ready to fire Ash because he hired an O-line coach that didn't have enough google results as they wanted. A bunch of position coach specialists around here all of a sudden.
Clearly, you don't believe in Ash. He has a plan and he's looking for his type of coaches to implement the plan. This is not about money. I bet each coach he's brought in is getting paid well. You and I don't know this since it hasn't been announced. You like Maryland's approach and I love Rutgers. Ash is going to turn this program around and these guys he's brought in will be here in 3 years bringing in the recruits and winning games. We'll see where Maryland is...o and btw, we'll be paying these guys a lot more money in 3 years, that would be called raises and bonuses commiserate to their accomplishments. Hope you join us then.....
I like Ash and hope he succeeds. He's doing exactly what he said he would do, so I don't have a problem with it. In fact, I hope he succeeds.
But I can't help but wonder whether Hobbs was equipped to make the decision he was tasked to make. Does he understand that the changes we are undertaking are going to require 3-5 years at best? I would also like to understand why he felt this strategy was best.
I'm disappointed that from the looks of things, Rutgers coaching staff is going to be stocked with neophytes.
Frankly, I don't want to spend good money to watch coaches learn on the job. This is something that was acceptable in 2001, NOT in 2016.
The jokes on you for being so clueless. At least Marylands staff won't be learning on the job, as they will have the experience to succeed. There's no evidence that Ash'es staff will be any more close knit than Durkins.
Outside of hiring Ash, what does any AD have to do with the hiring of the assistant coaches?
Let's be real. It always is about money for Barchi and company, which is not to say that Ash won't be successful.
Please remind me, who is learning on the job again?
3-5 years at best? huh?
So I guess you wanted Schiano back and to run a Pro offense in order to be mediocre for perpetuity?
In hiring Ash, the AD obviously signed off on the strategy with regards to assistants.
Yeah, and there's also no evidence that hiring failed head coaches will lead to success. So I suggest you to grow a pair or start routing for Maryland.
Or he agreed to the pool of funds available. Which was an increase from this past year.
As soon as Barchi said it wasn't going to be about money, I knew it was going to be about money.
I expected the same ol Rutgers BS, and we're getting back the same ol Rutgers BS, so I can't say i'm surprised.
i hope ash is successful.
pool of funds available is a bunch of bs so the admin can pat themselves on the back. its meaningless. what i'm interested in, is the actual.
I'll let you figure it out since you already seem to know everything.
