Why are we not hearing GS to Rutgers speculation in the national media?

[ru-baby]

Just heard on Sirius the B10 guy Rick Pizzo saying that because Hobbs declared Ash his guy pre season that he won't go back on that 4 months later--the ego and embarrassment arguments many have feared. That Ash will be here one more year primarily for that but also because amount owed goes down each year and money issues are to be considered.

You would think someone would be floating the GS issue if it was at all viable. Hoping that it's all being done in a competent back channel manner, but not sure when we have seen that at RU,so thought we'd be hearing at least some speculation as GS is likely done year 3 and we are headed to 1-11 in year 3. Remarkable that 1-11 in a third year and no great recruiting class to look to wouldn't generate huge discussions and speculation. Fear that it may take some embarrassing last two weeks to create the pressure.

 

[rurichdog]

Because Ash isn't going anywhere.

 

[ivan brunetti]

Because the national media thinks the Rutgers' AD is broke at the moment.

 

[KT8813]

And Schiano isn't coming here!

Maybe it is all happening, and that the back channels have no leaks. Certainly have been threads started indicating that discussions were taking place.
I'm heading to Subway on Easton to grab lunch. Will report back if I hear anything.

 

[ru-baby]

Yes please do report after the Subway visit, where all is set forth!

Seriously would be impressed as hell if this was pulled off with little to no leaks

 

[Knightmoves]

Because Greg doesn’t want to come back to RU.

He wants to be a candidate for many jobs, not just RU.

 

[jay_hq]

Title should be "WHY AM I NOT HEARING WHAT I WANT TO HEAR?"

Because the world doesn't work that way.

I KNOW. And ain't that a SHAME?

 

[Knight Shift]

[SouthJerseyRU]

Likely because his agent doesn't need it to be out there.

 

[Wolv RU]

It has however been reported by people close to Ohio St. that Schiano is interested in the Rutgers job.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

And for our younger audience---

 

[RU Cheese]

Because...

Ash isn’t going anywhere
Schiano isn’t coming here
Little to no people outside this board care about either of these topics

When even Schiano's people aren't floating the idea (simply as a way to get interest in him for the Buffalo or Syracuse job)... you know it has zero legs...

 

[ru-baby]

That is one distinct possibility.

The other is that there are real and discreet back channel discussions and GS has realized he really wants to be here with all that he never had (big time conference and facilities).

Make sure you wear your trench coat...it's snowing out there.
Also, if you don't mind stopping by to see my son's professor to see if he can get him some extra credit?

Who are Schiano’s people?
I don’t recall any floating of his name for Buffalo or Syracuse.

 

[OldManRiver]

Maybe because Ohio State want him out of there...Like they gave us CA

Schiano's people got swept away in the flood waters. [roll]

 

[tico brown]

1) It's not true.
2) No one outside of North Jersey cares about Rutgers enough to speculate.

come one Zap... It's Jimmy Sexton who represents most SEC head coaches, a bunch of other P5 head coaches and ADs and many in sports media... y'know how these things work with "rumors".... names get put out there to gin-up interest in other spots...

Because we have a coach...

Just get some info. Don't eat there. Their subs are awful and you are in NJ for crying out loud better places all over.

 

[IL Lusciato]

Because our idiotic administration refuses to take out the trASH.

 

[RU4Real]

Schianopeople are funny.

 

[IL Lusciato]

YES.

 

[RU4Real]

Do you think he'll come..?

 

[ru-baby]

come one Zap... It's Jimmy Sexton who represents most SEC head coaches, a bunch of other P5 head coaches and ADs and many in sports media... y'know how these things work with "rumors".... names get put out there to gin-up interest in other spots...

Very true.

Which is why even if he didnt want the RU job one would think that it would be FLOATED to "gin up interest". That was the nature of why it's curious we don't hear it.

 

[MADHAT1]

Because Greg doesn’t want to come back to RU.

He wants to be a candidate for many jobs, not just RU.

If RU is his only choice to return to the College HC ranks, think he'd want to come back.
That said, it won't be next year he comes in my personal opinion Hobbs will give Ash at least the 2019 season to prove he can make RU FB into a competitive program against the best of the B1G.

Schiano might have a HC job by the time Ash is let go. If that's the case, I think he'll accept the RU job if offered and not demand a high salary for himself, but want adequate funding to hire a good staff.

 

[Wolv RU]

Maybe because Ohio State want him out of there...Like they gave us CA

Very possible. Would be great if they signaled they'd hire Ash back for $1 million per season as DC instead.

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

That is like asking why she won't return your phone calls, or reply to your texts...

 

[Knightmoves]

Gotta love a person who speaks in absolutes with First hand definitive knowledge

Is there any firsthand definitive knowledge in this thread?

In the future I will try to follow all opinionated statements I make with IMO.

That should eliminate confusion for some.

 

[graystork]

This from the network that says our offensive line is a bright spot.

 

[WhiteBus]

Has there been any speculation in the media about Rutgers at all? Does the national media even care??

 

[BlockR]

Because Ash isn't going anywhere.

ash sucks.will suck even more next year.

 

[rucoe89]

Because the world doesn't work that way.

And to that extent - Ash 2019 in place.
