The all-inclusive Rutgers dumpster fire thread...

[crales44]

I think Ash turns them around

I'm not sure if he turns them around, but I could definitely see him spinning them right round. (Like a record)

 

[tipphill]

Never heard of him, and neither has anyone else besides the real Rutgers diehards...

not surprised,su interviewed him years ago. read jerry izenbuegs article from the star ledger dated 7/15/2012

I think Chris Ash is going to be a combo of Bill Parcells/Vince Lombardi
Discussion in 'Rutgers Football' started by rutgersal, Jul 28, 2016.

Eight months ago, I stated I NEVER would have hired Chris Ash. Thankfully, I'm a lot smarter now, than I was six months ago, and my cupeth is filleth with the Chris Ash Kool Aid. But to be fair, there were legitimate reasons to be concerned, namely: "Why change the template that had worked so successfully for us over 15 years". We were a pro style shop and the transition to the spread seemed daunting, at the time.

But now that we are here, eight months later, one cannot help but be impressed with the results:

• Players are in FANTASTIC physical shape
• Hale Center looks GREAT
• The programs INTENSITY has picked up several notches
• The recruiting class looks AMAZING

My take on Chris Ash is that he is tough, fair, intense, and he's got a presence about him, an aura, if you will. These are the characteristics which Ash has in common with Parcells and Lombardi, both of whom were college coaches in the NY area. Hobbs hired a football coach that was an image of himself, and in doing so, he hit a Grand Slam. Obviously his national championship ring gives him much credibility, and with that, he is the most accomplished coach we've ever hired.

Not sure whether he is detailed yet, as i still have to check whether he's changed his Ohio license plates. But we can see evidence of that in his insistence on proper nutrition and hydration and obtaining the appropriate resources to accomplish this.

If we can keep Chris Ash over the long haul, there's no doubt in my mind, that one day commuters will be traveling to the Chris Ash Park and Ride to Work.

I knew this was an Al post just from the topic title.

 

[texascpa]

BTW, looks like the admins deleted that thread plus a bunch older ones that fans were dredging up.

 

[Hoo's That]

They all really think Schiano is coming back and that he's their lord and savior that will lead them to the promised land. Which, for them, is what? 5-7?

I wouldn't be totally shocked if this part happens, but I wouldn't bet my next paycheck on it.

This part is just a head shaker.

Stuck in the bottom with you (sung to the tune of Stuck in the Middle With You).

You never heard of Frank Burns?

Hotlips Hoolihan was his S/C coach.

 

[Pyle]

If they keep Ash for two more years, they are toast. No coach will be able to turn that around. They’ll be bad for a decade.

It's like we have a front row seat to an alternate universe we never had to live. If you want to know what it would have been like to keep Greg Robinson just grab your popcorn and stay tuned......

Well, they did make the Texas Bowl. But then again...

I try to stay out of this thread for the most part, but I couldn't help myself this time. Lot of people over there keep saying Ash has to go before RU becomes the laughing stock of college football.

Do they... do they not know? That ship has already sailed across the pacific ocean and back again.

 

[money3189]

They are naming position coaches as potential HC candidates and they are actually getting excited about the possibility. You can't fall lower than that.

lol - oh Money - have you learned nothing from rutgers over the last 40 odd years - of course they can fall lower than that

if the rutgers administration hears you say that - you will immediately hear "hold my beer...."

After the Giants/Eagles game last night, can we re-live this:

 

[Pyle]

Rutgers offers RB Sam Adams II, son of NFL great

The comments are pure gold. My favorite:
"While we're at it, why don't we reach out to Jonathan Taylor at Wisconsin and get him to transfer"

My bad. Is this better? "Rutgers is a total sh** show and they are trying to clean the stage with one single bar of soap"

It's pretty much over. I will go from having had season tickets at one point to looking to join the Rutgers 1000 if it is still in existence. You can't enter the Indy 500 with a home made go-cart. Going to the B1G was stupid. At first I thought like everyone else "this is the best/luckiest thing to happen to this school" but I should have known they'd find a way to screw it up. I don't care about the size of the university, I don't care about the university's academic mission, etc. Bottom line is this...the B1G is an athletic conference and this was about money. If this was about academics they would have added Stevens Institute and Johns Hopkins, not Rutgers and Maryland.

There's no shame in playing in the Colonial Athletic Conference with Villanova, James Madison, Richmond, etc. They are good schools as is Rutgers. Big time athletics is not for RU. Time to end the experiment. And not for the "waste of taxpayer dollars" as that is a farce. Rather to save the alumni embarrassment. Maybe you will reap more donations if the scores floating along the ticker on Saturday afternoons aren't embarrassments although I think this year JMU and Towson would throttle the Knights on the gridiron. You can rejoin the "new" Big East for hoops and have your rivalry game with Seton Hall twice a year instead of once. The only sports program that would really suffer is wrestling as RU is building a national power there which is bolstered by B1G membership and the other Olympic sports would lose financing. And before anyone mocks my comment about wrestling it is absolutely true and the women's soccer team is pretty damn good too. That's about all they have.

I know every school has their share of jerk fans (especially message board fans) but I couldn’t believe the amount of arrogance coming from Rutgers fans when they had those couple decent years when SU was horrible. It seemed to be more the rule than the exception. I actually felt kind of bad for Rutgers in the early 2000’s but never again.

This won’t be a popular post, but the reason for a lot of the obnoxious behavior was because in the 90’s Syracuse seemed to take more pleasure in beating up on Rutgers than most other opponents. True, Miami, VT and PSU all beat up on them too, but the memory of McNabb going for 70 on RU left a bad taste in people’s mouths.

So when RU improved and Syracuse had their struggles the RU fans got a little mouthy. So what? As much as you guys hate him, Schiano actually showed a little mercy in 2006 by pretty much handing off the entire second half vs the Orange which was definitely not what Cuse did with McNabb in ‘98 once the outcome was no longer in doubt.

Well, I was there in NJ the year before the 70 point win. We were crushing them 50-3 and in the red zone again with 5 minutes left in the game. We ran a couple plays into the line, and then took a couple knees. Shea and his coaches went nuts.

So the next year, we hung 70 on them. Be careful what you wish for...

Well I’m just saying during the same time span (05-08) RU also beat Pitt every year and I don’t remember RU fans being nearly as obnoxious toward the Pitt fans. That was always my thought as to why.
