A guy who gets a huge nice new stadium built, gets freakin' Rutger in the B10, a guy with very solid sports TV connections, and who massively increased sports fund raising?

Not. Rutgers is the worst athletic program in the history of I-A sports. Right now we need to hire someone who can turn football around - I think bball would turn around too as a result of football improving.<br /><br />Like I said before, we need 2-3 offensive line man and 2-3 serious bballers and we are back on track(or real coaches who in turn provide the aforementioned). The rest of the athletic programs are top notch or trending that way: hockey, sailing, soccer, baseball you name it.<br /><br />I don't want someone from a school whose only claim to fame is beating Princeton in the first college football game. They have done nothing since.Knuckleheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07847627726401491567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-52355751960889300912016-10-13T16:32:47.215-04:002016-10-13T16:32:47.215-04:00Mod - I basically understand what happened and hav...Mod - I basically understand what happened and have no view on the merits. I think the coach was equally chastised for assaulting one or more of his players and some of it was caught on video. Pernetti wanted to fire him but claims that after an independent investigation the school's HR and outside legal counsel told him there were insufficient grounds for doing so under RU policies and advised in favor of a fine and suspension. Then, because of the video, a firestorm erupted among NJ elected officials, the media and some RU senior academicians that put the university's president in the public ringer. They then terminated the coach by mutual settlement and Pernetti then cut a deal to get the hell out of there (probably on friendly terms to save the president's rear end). My guess is that he never wants to go back to a Catch 22 environment like that. And I doubt BC would want to get involved with it all even though he would probably be an excellent AD.

He has an advanced education degree form Vandy, and, of course, he talks a very good game about the student-athlete. He remains very focused on graduation rates etc.<br /><br />so that is good, but not nearly enough. He can't pick a coach; he does not manage the coaches properly (giving unwarranted extensions) and he appears to be bs'ing everyone about facilities upgrades. So far, we have seen some drawings.....but no application to Boston/Newton for plan approvals. His fund raising seems bad, and his claims that he has really improved the football game-day experience are just nonsense.<br /><br />one new AD candidate I like is the RU guy Tim Pernetti - he was run out of RU for stupid PC reasons, but seems like a can-do guy<br /><br />from wiki: " at Rutgers University as part of a five-year contract. In the role he oversaw 24 men's and women's sports, fundraising and development, a staff of more than 200 employees and also oversaw coaching searches and hires in men's and women's sports. Pernetti is credited with transforming the business at Rutgers and for record-breaking fundraising results in four years. During his tenure, Rutgers Athletics generated more than $100M in incremental revenue for the department. Pernetti is also credited with building the Rutgers Athletics brand, and creating more media visibility than ever before. Pernetti is credited with negotiating the agreement to bring Rutgers to the Big Ten Conference in 2014. For his efforts, Pernetti was named one of the five candidates for Sports Business Journal National Athletic Director of the Year." (although his one basketball HC hire was bad and his one football HC hire was debatable)mod34bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129365485893573618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-91832117624845156352016-10-13T08:32:03.496-04:002016-10-13T08:32:03.496-04:00Good article - I saw the same history (including p...Good article - I saw the same history (including poor basketball hires as well) at the time we hired him and wondered if we had done any research. Perhaps the BC human resources folks made it a priority to deliver an articulate, measured and good looking "Ken Doll" who would look like a godsend compared to the weeping - foot in his mouth predecessor and a head football coach who struggled with his diction and sentence structure. Yes - hiring is always an uncertain and risky endeavor but you try your best to make it a reasonable risk by doing your homework. Not sure that was done effectively here.Napolean Bonapartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400468172192375595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-77610730589375469132016-10-12T20:29:21.394-04:002016-10-12T20:29:21.394-04:00BB is a charmer and Tom Sawyer type of guy.

Father Leahy hired him and it is obvious that he was charmed out of his socks because the track record was deplorable. BC needs to let his contract expire at the end of this year. The logical conclusion would be to bring in Tom Coughlin on an interim basis to sweep up the mess.JBQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09344181644293746758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-26232495470788060402016-10-12T18:29:58.219-04:002016-10-12T18:29:58.219-04:00You beat me to the punch. 😊 You beat me to the punch. 😊 Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16370373135189857562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-17855927655553434042016-10-12T17:43:33.677-04:002016-10-12T17:43:33.677-04:00But but but his hair!But but but his hair!Bravesbillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132085833230451082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-58342410726035357772016-10-12T16:30:24.749-04:002016-10-12T16:30:24.749-04:00Who would hire Bates with that track record when h...Who would hire Bates with that track record when hiring football coaches is major problem with your football program?
