Statement from Director of Athletics Pat Hobbs / December 1, 2019; 11:15 A.M.
- Thread starter Tango Two

Very underwhelming statement in my opinion....
He can’t gush about it until the BoG acts. The statement is fine.
Sounds to me he is on his way out.
I will give him credit, he managed to piss everyone off, not an easy feat around here. He certainly got the pro Schiano fans angry, and he also ended up getting the pro coaching search fans just as angry. I don't know how he can stay on, he has been professionally humiliated and it appears that he might have damaged his relationships with some of the big donors, which we have been told over and over again is his forte, connections and fundraising. My guess is that he resigns within the next few months for greener pastures elsewhere.
Prejudge any action the bog may take? What does that mean? The only action should be rubber stamp
Kinda like after a big game like a Super Bowl, and the TV reporter goes to the losing coach asking for comments...
Exactly nothing wrong with this statement, nothing is done until BOG meets.
He smeared the guy who was hired..of course i missed your commentary on that
As usual, you are a dullard. No sense arguing with you. Always looking for a reason or a person to be angry with. Have a nice day
Im fine..look in the mirror. You couldnt resist posting a stupid meme because you have to defend your precious Pat 24/7
Nope, as usual, you have it wrong, because--you are stupid and just like to pick fights with people. Go give Julie a hug or something.
I don't care for Carino as a writer, but he has it right here:

"Rutgers football: Can Greg Schiano and Pat Hobbs coexist? It's worth a shot
It's time to put the pitchforks away, because this awkward marriage has potential rewards -- for everyone."
"Of course, it wasn’t all Hobbs’ fault that negotiations with Schiano were so painful. Greg Brown, his board of governors and President Bob Barchi were equal partners in the initial breakdown, and Schiano and his agent played hardball, too. But Hobbs bore the brunt of criticism because he’d botched the hiring and contract extension of failed football coach Chris Ash (assist to Brown, who recommended Ash for an interview) and committed the sin of being a basketball guy at a football-first school."

He has issues letting go. Flood, Ash now Hobbs. And attacks those who have the common sense to know when someone is not good for Rutgers.
Carino was the same writer who tried to create hysteria saying Schiano getting hired would cause concern for Pikiell
Look if Schiano decides he can work with an AD that smeared him then fine Hobbs can stay. Its up to Greg but long term Hobbs isnt our answer
Awkward.
Yeah just smeared the guy for a month and didn't return his counter to the BOG and didn't even have him on my list but a fan and donor and political revolt forced my hand...
No one believes it.
Why doesn't he go work for Christie's law firm. The guy is over his head here.

When does the BOG meet? Don't tell me there's a chance this won't get done. A nightmare situation would be where Sweeney influences the BOG and gets them to vote against it because you know, that would be too much money for North Jersey to get.
How would you feel if you were pressured into Hiring a guy you didn’t want, for too much money and you were the only bidder. Just bad business and he knows it. Unfortunately Greg will cost a third AD his job.
Pat's fate will hinge on how much his relationship with donors has been damaged, and if that damage can be repaired. He may survive just because Barchi has one foot out the door already and may want to leave those decisions to his successor. We all know how Clueless Bob feels about athletics to begin with.
Lol, this reminds me of the email I get from corporate every Thanksgiving week.
I think it is funny that when that link posted, this site shortened the link so that "hobbs" showed as "bs"
