Sports Illustrated has us hiring this guy
- Thread starter BaseballFan913
- Start date
If he's as good a leader as advertised, he'll hire the right recruiters and coordinators. Don't forget, Schiano was a good recruiter but we didn't get our best class (at least on paper) until Hafley was brought on board.
I recall his commentary on ESPN when Rutgers had all those suspensions and the guy was downright nasty about Rutgers. No credibility in my mind...
Wasn't Thamel wrong on conference realignment? If it's the same guy Julie should be announcing Greg Schiano as HC any day now!
Very interesting statement. If around the league JH isn't taken seriously then what coach would want to come here...
love this pick.
guy isn't doing it for the money, but for love of the game and winning. Has perhaps biggest upside of anyone. can defer his salary or pony up for top notch coordinators and recruitment guys.
bill snyder can recruit and win at age 76. relax about this guy's age.

People like him will hire coaches who do though. A true "CEO" head coach.
He could also be our biggest donor. Imagine the recruiting budget.
Thamel is a 1999 graduate of Syracuse University, where he served as sports editor of The Daily Orange for three years. Surprised he's not writing for the Newhouse family-owned Star Liar, the same Newhouse family of Syracuse's Newhouse School of Public Communications.
"Moglia and DeCenzo denied that, but the rumors flared anew this fall when TD Bank, which owns about 40 percent of Ameritrade, agreed to pay $5 million for the naming rights of the athletic complex at Coastal Carolina."
This seems like the most low risk high reward scenario out there until the real B10 money starts flowing in. (Assuming the plan is to stay the course with Flood due to $)
He probably is the single biggest reason why Coastal went from rather obscure FCS program to FBS move up with a SBC invite in hand. He would also be a huge gain on the sponsorship/donation side of the AD as well.
We need visionary, someone who can sell his ideas at all levels (recruits, alumni, faculty, administration, media and state government). This might just be the type of guy that can pull it off. He has more experience being in high powered meetings, than ANY coach. I am all for something new vs. a retread or inexperienced underling (which is about all we can attract or afford) Someone needs to sell this guy on RU being a chance to outcoach, out recruit a few of the nations top coaches.
I heard him speak a few time when he was at TD Ameritrade. Great speaker and motivator.
I can see why kids would want to play for him.
The only way I'd endorse this kind of move is if it was similar to what Clemson did with Dabo Swinney. Around a 1M budget for both the coordinators. Go hire a guy like Doug Meacham as the OC and some top DC from somewhere. Then good salaries for recruiters in the lower level coaching positions. Outside of that, he's not someone I'd want.
BTW not sure if he's a billionaire although I see that thrown around in some articles. He didn't found TD Ameritrade, founders usually become billionaires CEOs occasionally but not all of them. He's probably worth a few hundred million though. It's kinda quibbling because when you're that wealthy does it really matter, lol.

So little interest....you mean to say we can't find 1 real proud and confident even cocky qualified Jersey guy with the cojones/ballz to take on the established CFB order...........wow thats not the Jersey i knew growing up in Essex County. We only need 1 good man with the vision. Me...lol...just kidding i'm not qualified or capable at 63.
Offensively it is a spread. Very uptempo. The players all run to the line and look to the sideline for the next playcall.
Defensively, I watched a highlight video for them against Monmouth. Camera angle made things difficult to see, but it looked like a 4-3.
This is a nice video segment on him from nfl.com

Thamel's another bitter Orangehead ticked-off that (1) RU's football program moved ahead of his alma mater over the past 10 years and (2) RU took their long-coveted spot in the B1G. His blatant negative bias is nothing more than sour grapes and his pathetic insults should be dismissed.
I like the idea of thinking out of the box and going after a guy like this. If you keep doing things the same way you are going to get the same results AND if you are RU you are never going to get the sure thing when you are competing against legacy programs looking for coaches.
Did anyone else watch the 30 for 30 on USC. At the time they hired PC he was a washed up nobody and they were basically Rutgers with a distant championship history and they were getting run over on a yearly basis by UCLA. Rutgers needs a spark. Rutgers needs someone that NJ high school coaches fear and respect, not someone they like. Rutgers needs someone that makes an RU football game a destination for the NYC elite.

If you're curious why I think Flood will be back in 2016, that piece from Campus Rush sums it up.
If outsiders are talking about us getting a new coach it's a pretty good sign that the inadequacy of our current coach is becoming obvious.
If the fanbase rallies behind a guy like Joe Moglia, it'll happen.
The biggest apparent roadblock (or so we're told) is money, and we have no problem there.
Based on what he makes at Coastal, I would not be in the least shocked to see him accept an extremely meager salary and divert the rest to assistants, so we can get top notch guys. Could be a win-win-win.
In a conference with mega coaches, you need an x-factor. Moglia could be that storybook type of tale that actually works. The guy just succeeds wherever he goes.

Why is he low risk? I see him as big risk unless we have a quality staff around him. Give me a 1M budget for each coordinator like Dabo at Clemson and I can say okay this guy can be the executive type head coach without the expert X/O knowledge but without that he's very risky. Even with it there's quite a bit of risk, slightly less so, because lots of staffs with high priced coordinators don't succeed.
People actually read Sports Illustrated ?
I can actually recall sitting in my doctor's office and...for lack of any other options at the time...checking out SI's baseball preseason preview. Incredibly weak stuff. They had a World Series matchup of Cleveland vs. Washington. They always were the weakest of a weak group in the world of sports magazines.
