Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 166973, member: 19"] Important to get this hire right though because you can't count on the guy after the next guy to pick up the pieces if they get it wrong. Look at BC for example. Coughlin built them up to a powerful program before he left after the 1993 season. One bad hire later and Dan Henning almost completely destroyed it in 3 short years. Luckily for BC, they realized their mistake and corrected it after just 3 seasons. TOB had to rebuild a bit, but the platform as you say, was still there. BC also had some historical success in its favor, Flutie days most notably. Rutgers only real success came with Schiano. If it falls apart, not as much guarantee that they can bring it back. Especially if the Big East were to become what many (not you specifically) think it might become, which is a somewhat glorified Conference USA. [/QUOTE]
