Are we done paying Ash yet?
- Thread starter RUSK97
- Start date
He has been employed every year since his firing which has reduced the money Rutgers owed him fairly dramatically. We don't owe him a dime in 2023.
Think it ended in February of this year.
Ash was scheduled to make $2.3 million during this current contract year, which ends on Feb. 28, 2020, plus a combined $7.5 million in the three years remaining on his contract after this current year. He has scheduled compensation figures of $2.4 million, $2.5 million and $2.6 million in the final three years on the deal.
And oh golly:

What do you think? Is extending Chris Ash’s contract the right move?

Yes, he’s moved the needle in a positive direction and deserves more time

No, there needed to be more progress on the field and it should have happened

That guy should have been arrested for theft.
Should the guys who post day and night be arrested for stealing from their employer’s? Most loved the Ash hire he failed while trying as hard as he could. He was also the lowest paid coach in the conference and his OL coach sucked at his job.
They should have made him run the snack bar to earn his keep.
If you ask me, having our players never ever be thirsty again was worth it.
Bad hire from the get go. Some of us said it before even hired and were crucified.
oh yeah, I remember that well
my favorite was telling everyone after first game this guy would fail, no real coaching etc etc only to be told he's the expert lol history is litered with 'experts' that failed miserably and novices who succeeded at that same endeavors
No one and I mean absolutely no one, liked that automatic extension that kicked in when Rutgers got a $5k fine, probation and 10 less official visits for one year. It was a stroke of genius by Ash's agent and one Hobbs should have never agreed to.
The mention of his name ugh. From what I hear , was not a nice guy, didn't like NJ and unsure if he worked that hard. Got paid though
It's ironic that if a player stinks he gets cut from the team but the coach gets paid 7 figures even if he was rock bottom bad.
When do polls here get 500+ votes? Something's fishy. Ash paid some overseas site to vote for him.
If @Knight Shift post #5 above is correct, we are done paying Ash (thankfully). So without Ash on the payroll, our HC payout in 2023 will likely be #13 or #14 in the B1G.
