Insane, criminal, and horrible decision. board needs to go to jail
Stringer 3.4 Million...Contract released
- Thread starter BlockR
- Start date
Well that's retarded - MBB might actually generate revenue. WBB - never.
This is definitely pr move and yes Abro it is not racist but it is most definitely because she is older and a black women that she got this extension. If she got fired it would be considered racist or age discrimination. She had Hobbs by the you know what’s and Rutgers women’s basketball is going to keep paying the price for a couch who is so past her prime it is pathetic.
I don't get it. Hope there is money in the budget for a strong 1st assistant who has a clue about running a half court offense. I don't want her involved in choosing her successor either. She needs a Marianne Stanley assistant. In reality is that this is the type of role cvs is better suited for at this point in her career.

say what you want about Julie by she was pretty shrewd with the CVS contract from before. She slashed the base big time down to 700K but laden it with incentives...the idea was that CVS was either going to make a turnaround and another run at the Final 4 or she would retire....instead CVS brought the program to its lowest ever and attendence declined rapidly...Hobbs actually ups her base and incentives which is insane given a 6-24 season, its unfathomable...all the bargainning chips were his, she was not walking away, she should have got less based on spiraling attendance alone
I guess they realize she'll need the four years to get to 1000 wins.
think about the fact that Scott Goodale makes about $150k maybe $200 per year? If anyone deserves a raise it’s him. Only in NJ can you get a raise for getting worse
As I said the sooner the better... the out is she will move into a cushy job if she doesn’t get it done in 2 years...Just is the right thing to do unfortunately.
It’s a real shame. For that kind of money I’m sure Rutgers could’ve brought in a good young, up-and-coming coach. Instead they get a washed up 69-year-old who’s best days are very well behind her.
No it's ALL PC and black privilege. Does anyone actually think if CVS were a white man he'd get extended with a raise no less. This makes the Flood extension look like a brilliant decision.
Thank you Moose for having the courage to speak the truth. We in this country have been conditioned to be politically correct at all cost, even when being politically correct is incorrect.
No. As i posted earlier, if she was, she would have been fired, forget about a hefty raise. Imagine what Scott Goodale is thinking.. Its like the guy at work that no one understands how they got in their position.
We weren't exactly quick to pull the trigger on Fred Hill as baseball coach, either. He started his RU career with 24 consecutive winning seasons.... then was under .500 for 4 of his last 6. He then retired, rather than being being kicked out and replaced.
What's the PR hit for pushing out a HOF coach, who happens to be the 6th winningest coach in history, 5th among women's bball coaches and 4th among active wbball coaches, who has 4 Final Four appearances across 3 teams, 14 Sweet Sixteens, and an Olympic gold medal?
Pretty sure Stringer will announce her retirement after two years, once she crosses the millennium mark, and then everyone can start complaining that the next women's coach is overpaid.

one thing about CVS is that she is a stubborn old one, she will hang on for another contract extension which needs to be given out in about two years...watch
stop pulling cards to push your point.you sound like a politician from the left.
Those who tolerate racism are enabling racism.
Being black did not help Eddie Jordan or Gary Waters from being fired. They were not Hall of Fame coaches either. Stringer was extended because Hobbs and Barchi are still convinced she can win.
And she is now getting paid about in the middle of the pack of Big10 coaches. She won 23 games 3 years ago, even 2 years ago still a winning record. Last year a mess no doubt. IMO, she can being criticized all people want to for being overpaid , having a downward trend, poor attendance, etc, but when people say Hobbs and Barchi only kept her because she is Black, well, don't tell Eddie Jordan or Gary Waters that. As another poster above said, she's being shown the same kind of respect that long time successful baseball coach Fred Hill was shown, and he wasn't close to being a Hall of Fame Coach.
"Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it."
example:
Julie Hermann PC move.
And Julie Herman was also fired. After only 2 years. She never proved herself like Stringer has. Those with a long history of success will usually get more latitude. Just like Stringer and just like Hill.
I don't buy this. They kept her on out of a false sense of loyalty and respect. No one would say it was race after 2 bad seasons like that.
Agreed. Hill should have been fired....and so should Stringer....she's a dinosaur and is milking it.
Julie Hermann was HIRED only for PC reasons,the same reason Stringer is getting this golden parachute Contract.
he leaders of the search committee sent an e-mail to the group’s members assuring them that the process that led to Hermann’s hiring had been fair and transparent.:eyes:
In e-mailed responses, however, at least two committee members claimed that the leaders had whitewashed a process that felt secretive and rushed, leaving them uncomfortable with the university’s selection of Hermann. One member said that concerns over a lawsuit an employee had filed against Hermann were not fully addressed, and that he did not spend enough time with her to feel comfortable that she was the right person to lead an athletic department still reeling from a scandal involving an abusive coach.
This is how I see it playing out.
One thing I find interesting is how she does not have any of her "daughters" on her bench. The one thing she preached over her entire tenure was how the team learns from prior generation. There is no connection to her prior generations. Did Viv run them off or do they know to stay away?
My goodness! Put the last couple of years behind us. All programs go through cycles. We have a double Hall of Fame Coach. She has taken us to the Final Four twice.
We are in a new league and building new facilities to get at least on par with the other programs. As a fan who has supported the Ladies through a lot of "thick" and a lately a bit of "thin", I can't wait to see how she does. As I have said before, nobody in the history of Rutgers has a Coach's body of work on and off the court anywhere near C Viv's. (with all due respect to Theresa and Frank Burns). She gets to decide when she steps down. She earned it.

Its one thing to keep her on board to get her wins, its another to keep her on board and give her a fat raise.
1--Tim hiring Flood. 2. BOG approving Julie. 3--Hobbs hiring Ash 4--Hobbs extending Vivian. No wonder many die hard RU fans are discouraged by the continuing ineptness of decision-making. It does not have to be this way.
Never heard that one before. Anything documented to support that idea ?
Theresa Grentz was forced out as WBB HC after the 1995 season in spite of her 434-150 record at RU. 4 time A10 COY, 9 consecutive NCAA appearances. She was also HC of the USA Olympic WBB team at the 92 Barcelona Olympics when the men sent the Dream Team there.
Why was it OK to push her out but CVS with a 457-255 record is untouchable as a RU HC and gets 4 year extension at a big raise ?
Real world, we just went through this in my work place, all kinds out outrage. Votes were done by the employees, she out right lost but made all kinds of race related remark. End results, they gave her the award and cancelled the event for next year. Just how it is.
we shall see what happens going forward if Ash asks to spend more money on say a dedicated recruiter Coach or QB coach what Barchi/Hobbs answer will be? Because that bridge to Cross will happen at the end of THIS Season due to NCAA new approval of an additional Coach on Staff.
