Nice drive. You can see Arts potential when protection is good and he is just thinking about the throw I know that seems obvious but if this OL could somehow put it together the offense has potential
It wasn’t even the OL both of the INT’s he had plenty of time. Just threw well behind the target. But Cole has fallen off big time. Vretman has looked good
There was a fire ash chant in my section by like 20 people at the end of the game. It was impressive how they coordinated half of the people in attendance to do that
I agree. Call me cautious but I just don’t think we have the juice to run the table (but I have been wrong before)
Hobbs better mug a fucking leprechaun to get the money to fire ash and learn that before year three isn't the time to extend a coach. Just glad our big ten membership hinges on us having a football team or I'd be convinced barchis next step would be suggesting we shut the program down.
Hey Ash, take note, Oklahoma fires their DC on the heels of the Sooner loss to Texas. Their statement after should literally be copy and pasted for you “it became time for a change in our program and that happens sometimes in football”. And this dude was a real coach with real accomplishments ...
It’s funny my intent was just to say real programs are proactive and make changes when changes need to be made ie our D has been inexcusably bad this season. I was insinuating that maybe he could toss Niemann on the sword since he clearly isn’t gonna fall on it himself but it came off like I was slamming ash. To be clear I’m ok with both
That may be one of the worst QB performances in the history of the sport, but man did he throw the ball hard.
The more I think about it the less I think it’s likely he plays out the complete contract. I don’t see it happening this year unless a ton of things go on our favor (money comes together and perfect candidate) but that doesn’t mean he couldn’t get the ax next year. Yea 10m buyout is rough but you have to assume we lose 1m a game in lost ticket sales currently and it’s not going to get better. Fact is ash is here as long as the donors still support him and donate. Once the tide turns...
at the alumni tailgate hobbs and battaglia both tried to give pep talks. the narrative is definitely "we arent where we want to be but we have to keep hoping". marcos saying was "play the next play". i feel for them and understand that there isn't really anything they could say that would placate me. but part of me wishes they would just start passing around an actual fucking hat to start raising money to fire ash. this is so unwatchable.
You cannot keep this guy. The money reason is baloney. He will bury this program with another year. Recruiting is dryer than the desert and 15k people attend our games. You keep him and you basically agree to bring in 25 FCS kids because of how bad recruiting will be between the rest of the 2019 class and 2020. I feel for the kids, we have talent we are not this bad. Our KOR team not even having the knowledge to waive fair catch and just let the ball hit the turf is all coaching.
The thing that drives me insane is that at literally any other program in the country a coach goes 1-11 in his 3rd year then he is for sure gone no questions asked. But at Rutgers we have to hope and pray a coach that very clearly has no idea what he's doing actually gets fired in a timely fashion. We saw it with Flood where he got fired 2 years after he was supposed to and look at how far that set us back. That type of continued small minded thinking and ineptitude has me considering giving up on this program for good.
