Joe Moglia's game will be on ESPNews this Thursday
- Thread starter NYCbanker_rivals
- Start date
I'm starting to get onboard the Joe Moglia bandwagon. Not only would he fix our coaching problem but he could also fix our athletic donations problem and offer our players a professional path of employment when they graduate. A potential home run deal for RU.
He'll be 67 before the start of next season. I'm guessing that'd eliminate him right there. Can you see him as the long term face of the program? I can't.
You can't be serious. A small school is ideal for a 67 year old ex-Wall Streeter whose fulfilling his lifelong passion of just coaching football. Rebuilding a P5 program and all that's involved with recruiting etc. is out of the realm of reality. Is our self concept so low that we feel this is the best we can get?
Another thing that'd eliminate him is his "No Rules" philosophy. After everything that's gone on here that'd never pass muster. I believe any interview will lean heavily on how any perspective coach will control/monitor the players.
Or crazy as a fox. Follow the $$$. Or follow 8-5, 12-3, 12-3, 8-1...

Hire him and let him get a young talented staff to train his successor
You are probably right. At this point I'd say 99% of the fan base has an issue with Flood
Would he be able to donate to the program, or help pay to get the best assistants? How does a coach being your potentially richest donor work lol?
BTW, I know it's only FCS, but he's not doing to shabby so far.

I'm sure beating Dave Brock and the Delaware Hens should qualify this guy to coach Rutgers. Beating Dave Brock is as easy as punching yourself in the face. Which is what you should do if you feel this guy should be the next coach. NYCBanker-are you paying his salary when he comes here and needs a donor to back his buyout after one year?
Dynamic personality, proven winner, fun offense and multi-millionaire. I would take a chance and buy in... So to speak.
This hire is not about getting a Coach that's going to be here for the next 15-20 years.
This hire is about getting Rutgers Football back to a respectable level 7-5/8-4/and 9-3 every now and then. Once the B1G money is coming in 100% then you'll see our new HC either retire or if the right candidate is out there, we will move on and go B1G.
This isn't the hire that we make to win National Championships with, it's the hire to keep us as far away from Indiana, Purdue, and Illinois as possible
He's probably the only way we get a successful/winning personality as big and public as Harbaugh, Meyer. It would be a huge NYC story. And if you are a HS coach why wouldn't you steer your kids towards this guy? I would have to assume if he gets a chance at p5 school he would build a p5 assistant coaching staff. He doesn't seem like the type to set himself up to fail. Coordinator jobs would be attractive under him.
Sounds like you are discriminating against Joe Moglia due to his age.
Stick to his qualifications and his ability to improve the RU FB program as HC. College coaches have been very successful at a more advanced age than Joe Moglia.
Still doesn't address the recruiting issue. You have to convince kids you'll be there at least 4-5 years. Just how many P5 coaches are even in their mid 60's or older? Snyder and maybe Saban. Mike Reilly? Who else.
I think we should aim lower than Moglia. Let's see if Chris Partridge wants to come in from Michigan and save Rutgers football. None of the parochials are sending their kids here anyway. At least we would get the Paramus Catholic kids. You think this is crazy? Makes way more sense than Moglia.....
Yeah, it's discrimination. He's a year older than me. Damn old coot.
It's reality.
Name 1 coach who came to a school at that age and had success. Most if not all current older coaches have a history of success at the same school. Saban at Alabama and Snyder at K State are the two most well known examples.
The easy answer is - it depends on whether we are willing to spend on a real coach or not.
If we are basically going for a placeholder to get us close to the Big pay day (i.e. we are going to spend less than $2 million for the HC), then this isnt a bad choice at all.
but maybe he can stick around until lets say 2021?
Also there is no such thing as a long term solution in CFB.
I don't know too much about him as a HC, other than he is super successful at everything that he does and ultra rich. Maybe he can pay for a football only building and give the hale-center to the other sports? His name will live on at the Birthplace of College Football if he names it after himself. Wouldn't that be nice? Maybe he will take low pay and have Rutgers pay a lot more for staff so that we can actually complete in the Big Ten in football?
Who knows...

That's for the new coach to handle. He's the one selling a vision, not us. I highly doubt he would take the job if he was planning on doing something like Fridge did. I'm sure his contract length would be 5 years always.
Not to mention he should be selling the PROGRAM, not himself
The guy has 25 years of FB coaching experience. He has coached at Lafayette, Dartmouth and was on Bo Pelini's staff at Nebraska a few years ago. He is 40-11 at Coastal Carolina as HC. He is a CEO type HC and will let his coordinators handle the game planning and game execution. If he hires good coordinators this could work. He could get us through the next 5 years until the B1G money comes in.
He is a born leader and knows how to motivate people and teach them how to be successful in life.
I like him a lot more than a coaching retread like Al Golden. I think we should interview him. Let's see what happens when we talk to him.
If no Schiano, perfectly fine with Moglia. If Al Golden is a legit candidate why not Bob Davie? He had a better record at ND then Golden at Miami, turned around a New Mexico team that was 1-11, 1-11 and 1-11, dare say even tougher then the Temple rebuilding job. Experience at Pitt, Arizona, Tulane, ND and Texas A&M. Youths would recognize from ESPN.

I'm not so sure about Bob Davie....i think he inherited a pretty decent stable of Mike Locksley good recruits he didn't get time to develop....as is usually the case or maybe he's just a better HC than ML....Either way AG seems to be a safer pick in that he knows the area...I don't know what the deal is at the ''U'' lately that no one can win big since they left the old BE...Shalala..who knows..we can't afford to let the talent level dwindle any further and 1 things sure AG can recruit. Or maybe we go in another direction.
I don't know why anyone would not like this guy. He wrote the book on winning football.
A lot of us are afraid of the ''unknown quantity'' he represents i'd guess.I don't know why anyone would not like this guy. He wrote the book on winning football.
When he walks into the living room and speaks to the recruit and parents, he is the PROGRAM.
Did you ever hear what Steve Spurrier said about an older coach and recruiting issues? Rutgers has enough problems without having to overcome that too.
I don't doubt he's a good coach. Enough people say so. But when you are a recruit and think about your HC passing 70 while you're still in school it has to make you think twice. Especially when every school also recruiting you is pounding it into your head.
Understandable. I just think he'd be the perfect bridge for us now. He'd readily accept a reasonable 5-year deal, then in 5-to-7 years we can bring in someone who we truly believe can lead us to the promised land. Also, I'm not concerned about his recruiting ability. This guy is a closer. As they say, he can sell ice to an Eskimo.
Has he given significant bucks to CCU? This feels like naming the university after Henry Rutgers in the hopes that he would dump his fortune on us when he died.
