Dear Keli
- Thread starter ScarletteK80
- Start date
past practice shows a reluctance to .
But Zinn and Tate might change that
All 3 major RU spurts (FB-MBB & WBB) are having their fanbases wanting change.
The mens basketball coaches contrast ends after the 2030-31 season
The FB coach's contract is up after the 2030 season , so if any change is made it will be probably Quese
being dumped first and could happen after this season so Zinn can show she won't accept losing.
The same question goes to you about the financial advisor. The fact she made millions is irrelevant. She has a special needs child, and the cost of caring for a special needs child for life can be very high and financially crushing. Considering C. Vivian's Stringer long and distinguished career and her leave of absence came in the middle of the pandemic and with a special needs child at home, she could do whatever the heck she needed to do that was best for her family and her own financial situation. I know several people that had income in her range living in the NY/NJ metropolitan area who were constantly in debt and generally always needing money for a various reasons.
Yes, her extended leave sucked for the program and sucked the life out of the program, but that does not excuse Hobbs making such a poor hire to replace a legend. As we have seen from other teams (Indiana football, Michigan men's basketball), teams can quickly recover from a down period with a solid hire.
Good, I hope you remain sick to your stomach. You are a sick person, and you and Cali are way off base on this. Regardless of how her career ended, C. Vivian Stringer is a legend in sports, and particularly in women's basketball. Typically mean-spirited tough guy nonsense from you and Cali.

Yes but she had excellent insurance coverage that took care of a lot of it.
Money wasn't the issue, it was that she thought she could come back. Unfortunately she couldnt.
Despite how much money she may have made, many others who made more managed to piss it all away. Or maybe it was just greed, lots of rich people do unethical things for more money when they couldn't spend it all in 10 lifetimes. From my perspective money is the only answer to CVS's unbelievable exit, it was theft through manipulation plain and simple, no moral person would have kept it if there was any other reason.
Hobbs for some reason gave out contracts and money like it was candy. Why Washington, a mediocre coach at best, got 6 years is an unbelievable mystery, maybe he was tapping that too?

You are a vile individual....
Money was not the reason for her exit. If thats what you want to believe then so be it. But that is not accurate.
It’s amazing how much we still talk about Stringer on this board as if this is an excuse for the state of the program today. Coquese has had more than ample time to turn things around and it’s just not happening.
As for Stringer - both things can be true. She was a trailblazing legendary coach but she hung on way too long. Everyone blaming her for that might consider another possibility. It might not have been selfishness or greed. Maybe she simply wasn’t aware of how much her abilities had diminished and she didn’t have a support group around her that was willing to level with her. The debacle at the end was 100% on Hobbs. He was either afraid to take a stand or more likely, didn’t care.

What? An opinion based on the FACTS make me vile? Funny, I think it's vile to take money you don't deserve - she took a leave of absence days after signing a 5 year contract, got paid her $1M salary plus a $235K retention bonus the first year NOT on the job, then negotiated a $873K retirement settlement and the court being named after her. So in total cash strapped Rutgers, who may not be financially able to let go her poor replacement, paid her $2.1M for absolutely nothing. If it was about something else and not the money why'd she negotiate the $873K going out the door?
Sorry If you can't handle reality, but vilifying others with insults is probably a sign YOU need help.

The ones I already posted.
Look, if you want to believe she concocted a nefarious plot to rip off the university she coached at for 27 years (and was very good to her) then so be it, knock yourself out.
I went back and read every post of yours in this thread, and there isn't one fact, not even a hint of a fact. What I did learn is you love CVS and believe only the best about her. I don't do pissing matches, so have a nice day
Some people have very strange axes to grind.
Can't some just cut it loose already?
The women is a sports legend. She has a building named after her at the Nike World Headquarters on the Nike campus in Oregon. She has numerous awards. But somebody is still having a hissy fit over something that has been over for 5 years. Sad way to be.
Neither do I. You are a sad individual. dfr1966 wasted too much time on you. Enjoy your petty life.I went back and read every post of yours in this thread, and there isn't one fact, not even a hint of a fact.

Wrong. I dont "love CVS". Since you read all of my posts, where did I say that? I don't like the way her tenure ended either but it doesn't change the fact that she coached here successfully for the vast majority of her 27 years here, not to mention she is a hall of famer and did a lot to advance women's sports. Her leaving was not about money, it was about health.I went back and read every post of yours in this thread, and there isn't one fact, not even a hint of a fact.

Sorry you cant understand that, you be you and continue grinding an axe that is 5 years old and believing everybody's sole focus is the almighty dollar.
As KS said, I've wasted too much time on you already. Have a nice life and I hope your health remains tip top so you dont disappoint your employer and get accused of being all about money.
This thread is about the sad state of WBB and how to change it. This is largely due to CVS at the end and the terrible contract Hobbs gave her. Her accomplishments aren't being debated or questioned, but also have nothing to do with the subject. The hypocrisy of people that quickly jump to insulting others out of emotion and devotion but can't stay on point or articulate their position is quite ironic, not to mention sad if you were actually educated at Rutgers. Sorry I stumbled into the CVS Fan Club, I mistakenly thought this was an objective discussion forum for intelligent fans

Fire her now, she has no clue. Small buyout. this embarrassment MUST stop now. An interim coach can’t do NY worse.
I believe right now it's $750,000 buyout if dumped, but in April it's $500,000.
Looking at past practice: if Quese is kicked to curb it will be April when that happens
Damn, we've gone from 'can't believe we lost a close game with UConn or Tennessee' to 'We beat Pedd State, it shows we're more competitive'.
While CVS was searching for recruits in Alabama and points south, Barnes-Arico was building her resume and relationships within NJ and surrounding areas.
2012-13 Barnes-Arico first year at Michigan 22-11, only 1 season since then she had less than 20 wins.
2012-13 CVS 16-14 tied for 9th in Big East.
That’s not fair to focus on one year. What did her teams do the following years:
| 2013- 28-9 14 | Rutgers | 28-9 | 12-6 | 4th |
| Rutgers Scarlet Knights (Big Ten Conference) (2 | ||||
| 2014- 15 | Rutgers | 23-10 | 12-6 | T - 4th |
| 2015- 16 | Rutgers | 19-15 | 7-9 | T-9th |
| 2016- 17 | Rutgers | 6-24 | 3-13 | T-11th |
| 2017- 18 | Rutgers | 20-12 | 7-9 | T-9th |
| 2018- 19 | Rutgers | 22-10 | 13-5 | 3rd |
| 2019- 20 | Rutgers | 22-9 | 11-7 | T-5th |
She had great success early on but she never won a national championship and there is a reason for that
The Nike thing is comical. They thought so highly of her they made a laughable offer to the University and let her program walk to Adidas lol. I am not sure who should be more embarrassed. Them or her.
