would Rutgers really hire Howland after that SI article?

[dasher]

The guy is a terrific coach. Better than they deserve. But can they afford a guy with any baggage at this time? And if Hurley doesn't get it, how will the NJ coaches treat Ben?

What baggage? If he carries any baggage, is any of it legitimate? That would be a great hire for the Girls, IMO, their best ever.

Yes. Yes they would. And it looks as though Hurley is staying at URI.

Does any coach especially a name like Howland sign on with no permanent AD on board without knowing who his boss is?

After Rice, you can only go up really.

Politically...Rutgers has to hire as close to a clean coach as there is.
Probably rules out Howland.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Tommy Amaker's name mentioned.
Harvard can have a cleansing effect.

And the scandal impact is far from over.
Not clear if the president, Barchi, can survive...despite his ties to Gov. Christie.
The guy clearly didn't do his job and put his own interests ahead of his students' and his school.
If the faculty & boosters are up in arms, at some point the Fatman has to tell him he has to go.

Kevin Bannon, Mike Rice. Any questions?

What is the Howland controversy? I seemed to have missed it.
