The easy way out is to wait until 2021 when full B1G funding arrives.Without a sense of urgency kicking the can down the road always has resonance at Rutgers.
Where's the money?
- Thread starter RU-Choppin-Ohio
- Start date
If the money was always there we would have fired Flood a year earlier. If the money was always there we would have canned FHJ earlier and on different terms. If they money was always there we wouldn't have shit facilities.
The athletic budget has been getting slashed and there has been a focus on reducing the subsidy. The athletic budget cannot be relied upon to payout coaching regimes and hire new ones on a consistent basis, which is what's been needed for years at Rutgers.
These kinds of decisions require support from donors. Times appear to be changing at Rutgers and I think Hobbs is the right man for the job and will do great things but until we see big donors stepping up on a consistent basis Rutgers will strapped for money until the full payouts come in from the conference.
the money was there but the Presidents layed out an order NOT to spend it
the move to can Flood AND Julie and paying them and the covert hiring of Hobbs showed that Barchi either got an earful from someone or woke a new person, its a different set of circumstances, so the money is available to spent this time

The money is there. But that doesn't mean the AD chooses to spend the money they way you want him/her to, nor does it mean that we have ADs who are fiscally responsible or fiscally astute. For example, Bob Mulcahy made such a habit of extending coaching contracts and then firing the coach a year later, that at one point we were paying 3 basketball coaches.
Going back to my travel budget example, you may have the $105 to choose to stay at the Hyatt vs the Super 8. But that doesn't mean you have the money to take a private jet to your destination.
Rutgers certainly has the money to hire good coaches for all our revenue sports. We hired Ash, who shows a lot of promise. But that doesn't mean that we had unlimited money to hire Nick Saban.
OR, ask for 7 years like danny hurley. At least you walk away with a big bag of cash after you get fired in 3 years.
Bac wins the thread in the first reply LOL.
I never post on the bb side anymore but will have to check what's doin' now that Jordan is thankfully gone.
There is no egg....this is a message board, everyone has opinions.
I am right here and very happy. Hoping part 2 is having the $ to get a coaching staff. It would have been very difficult to keep Jordan.
I heard there is money stashed in the Boom Boom Chicken stand......but no one knows where is it.
No different than when the money was spent to buy out Rice and Pernetti and then pay Jordan more than Rice was making.
No one ordered Pernetti to hire Flood and Rice on the cheap (heck, he hired Flood for less than half of what was already budgeted to pay Schiano). Certainly ADs have to justify their coach hiring decisions, and they have to justify their budget plans (just like executives have to do everywhere). But that is not the same as the president or board dictating the decisions to the AD.
Hobbs made the decision; it was Hobbs' call. No one was telling him he has to fire Jordan. Hobbs made the decision, and then he explained it to his management.
