This thread may forever epitomize the Knight Report jinx. It will be right up there with the Kyle Flood firing predictions. I am going to bring my bobblehead to the game Saturday to bring the jinx good luck.
Some football board members hearing it looks good...
- Thread starter ru1869
- Start date
nothing has been decided at this point,no matter what some poster put on RT about Asherror coming back next year.If all the money is raised,it with still be up to Bob B.Just have to find someone to explain this Power five football thing to him..
You're right. 30% don't. You need to stop the BS if you don't like getting called on it.
Does anyone have any insight on how this conversation goes down? This is a multi million dollar move of which the results will be very public and newsworthy. Kinda fascinating how the process is or will be going down.
Hearing Barchi hates football so much he's selling the program to the Steinbrenner family who will operate it as a separate entity and bring in Saban as the highest paid coach in sports history.
Unfortunately, I woke up and realized it was all a dream.
Are you serious?
People here loved it. Now you’re claiming you didn’t like the hire. You want me to bump my post “ash will get us smashed”?
Show me your work . Didn’t think so .
Yes I am serious. Show your work! Bump your post. You will see that I responded fairly to a non factual statement that you made there.

Where the hell is OneTimePoster with good news? That horny pool boy was my favorite poster ever!
What did you post? I am too lazy and non stalkerish to find what you said about ash when he was hired
This is ridiculous, if I'm Ash I do the honorable thing and work out a settlement and bow out gracefully. I know he would be losing out on millions but I couldn't do it, I could not walk around campus knowing I'm holding this school's football program hostage by sticking around for a job that I'm not fit for. If we don't fire him and he comes back next year knowing full well he has dug himself and this program a hole they he can't realistically climb out of, then **** him.
I wonder if he’s just going through the motions at this point. I don’t get the sense that he really cares or has the passion to lead and build this program. I’ve never heard him once try to inspire or give hope to the fan base. He often says “Rutgers” as in third person versus “we” and it bothers me. I know it’s not a promise but show vision to the fans. I can only assume recruits get a bland approach as well while our competitors are wooing them.
I did not say anything about the Ash hire. You said the nobody else offered Ash and I reminded you that he was offered the Syracuse HC job, but Urban Meyer recommended that he take the RU job instead. Meyer told him that winning in college football is all about recruiting and RU has a good recruiting base in NJ while Syracuse no real recruiting base.
Syracuse got lucky on that one. That does not mean that our basketball centric AD would have hired anyone better as a second choice had Ash opted for Syracuse.
Maybe you should start a petition to get Gary back? The comments from West Virginia fans alone should be priceless.
Always an honor to hear from you, O King of Sophistry. Also congratulations on this pithy post. You managed to make your point with less than 7 paragraphs, well done.
Uh-huh. So does this mean you'll set up the petition?
"Gary, Gary... Wherefore art thou, Gary?"

He’ll be gone at season’s end. You can say what you want about Hobbs and Barchi, but I don’t think they are idiots.
If he comes back kiss 10,000 season ticket sales goodbye. That’s a real possibility. Some maybe for a long time. That’s big money and it’s not just for one year. Could take years to get those people back. If ever? It’s easier to keep a customer than it is to find a new one. 10 million will look like peanuts.
So since this clown has been there you drop from 30,000 to what maybe 12,000? :eek:
:flush:

Just adding to my post...The good thing is that is how an AD should do things. So glad the inside leaks under Julie have been eliminated. If we had someone like Hobbs instead of Julie, we would have either fired Flood and gotten a new coach after the 2013 season or we would have kept Flood and no one would have leaked that they were trying to cut his feet out from under him. He still may not have lasted long as a HC but I believe we don't lose half the recruits we did at that point.
@graystork I don't believe under normal circumstances that even 30% would want Gary back and even now, he would not have been first choice almost 50% of us but under these circumstances, you may be right, I would bet 70% or more would sign up for him now. The thing that sucks, is that is not a good thing...but pretty much the only smart choice we have.
Really, and in what world do you think it is our choice? Response is to your comment that it is not a good thing but our only smart choice
Mildone, I’ve changed my opinion on online petitions and suggest you do as well. They’re an incredibly effective way to bring out the comedic genius of this board. I’d like to see more of them personally...
If Ash is actually getting fired, that would be a major change in this program's philosophy. I'll believe it when I see it.
What am I missing about the English language that justifies your continued forced use of this? What exactly makes it clever or even slightly funny?

I guess it’s like a hashtag...or upset alert threads...annoying, and ultimately meaningless
Sorry mildy but petitions are sent to governmental officials and public entities, not private individuals, so unfortunately I can't help you. But may I suggest an on-line civics course so you can learn more about petitions?
You said " The thing that sucks, is that is not a good thing...but pretty much the only smart choice" regarding the return of Schiano. My question to you was what makes you think it is our choice to begin with?
I'm all for them now too. The fire Ash petition provoked some truly hilarious comments. I'm sure the hire Gary petition would too.
