Not a surprise. It should be clear,that if you follow certain parents of recruits and current players,they are not happy with Ash and company.
Close losses are not cutting it in year #3.
You have to show wins to recruit and sell the "progress".

Where's he going to go?....Buffalo?
He will get more offers. He probably would have already had more offers if he did not commit to RU so early and have brothers on the team already. Other D1 programs are not going waist time trying to pull a kid away from RU in that situation. Obviously, neither are an issue now.

Ash is in free fall and is essentially dead coach walking. He will be canned as soon as finances allow.

I am tired of reading these two things on this board at the same time:

-Ash can’t be fired because we owe him too much money

- Hobbs shouldn’t be fired over botching the football coaching hire because he is such a good fundraiser.

Both those things can’t be true.

Probably the first of what will be many decommits. We have one more game that we can hope to win and that is the next one with Illinois. From then on, we will be the whipping boy of college football. I don't care how hard our guys play, we will simply be so outmatched by the other teams it will not matter.
How can Ash and company put any positive spin on what this season has already become?
Future right now really looks very bleak. We are stuck with A$h due to having no money to do anything else. We also represent a much less than great landing spot for anyone who is really an up and comer. My best guess would be to zero in on a lower division guy who is young and has shown he can win.

I would love to see Ash fired before the next game. Let's see what the OC can do as interim HC. As for Hobbs, I would give him one more chance at the right hire. He nailed it on the b-ball HC.

The message to RU season ticket holders is that the worst is yet to come?

I know that we’ve seen this movie more than a few times in the past. Hobbs waits till the end of the season and then considers his options. Wonder where the RU Boosters will side after the season? They will be key to Hobbs decisions.

People shouldn't extrapolate on this, not yet anyway.

Hayek family probably is not too happy over their kids lack of playing time. Hunter has been passed on the depth chart, and Tyler is buried on it. Like one board poster said recently, they likely just aren't FBS material.

It really is LOL. Buffalo rolled us and got rolled by Army. Pretty sad.

Why are you slighting Army and Buffalo? One team destroyed us and the other would surely beat us as well. Army is headed towards another Bowl game and Buffalo will play in one also.

If Hayek goes to UB and plays under Leipold he is hardly making a poor decision by decomitting from Rutgers and choosing to do so.

Are you serious? The last six games are a meat grinder. Only Northwestern has a losing record so far, and it took a late rally by Michigan to beat them.
The last four games are against ranked teams.
Yes, our last game was close. But, Indiana is a regular bottom feeder in the BIG and they will have a rough time ahead with their schedule to try and get bowl eligible.
So, to answer your question, hell yes it is going to get worse.

Rather conflicted about this. More decommits could help precipitate Ash's departure, yet we will need some talent to get better, whomever leads the program forward.
I fear nothing is going to motivate Hobbs to fire Ash at the end of this season. There is nothing good that comes from any of this, we are just making it that much harder on the next guy to turn the ship around.

This is a loss only because there's no reason to think Ash can out or replace him with anyone better. We offered Tyler based off a camp and he's done nothing. Hunter was committed to an FCS school before we offered.
