[Gorm]

Too bad for him. Pretty bad situation he was in there.

 

[BCClone]

He get busy with the ADs wife?

When will Rutgers, Maryland, and Nebraska officially be in the Big 10

Interesting if true. It wouldn't surprise me at all that he is the #1 Target. It also wouldn't surprise me if Schiano's return will crash and burn like Bobby Petrino's return to Louisville.

The three of them lost games this past weekend by a combined score of 159-7. The funniest, and very enjoyable, was nebraska being crushed by the osu.

 

[Sigmapolis]

Poor little Buttgers.

Surely he didn't view Rutgers as a "destination job." At best, it was going to be a few years of nice paychecks. Probably should have been more friendly on his visit back to Iowa. He's probably more welcome here than anywhere.

Just in: Wisconsin looking for a way to bring Ash back on staff.

We lost all credibility to **** on Maryland when they beat UT unfortunately.

Can’t really blame Rutgers. Ash hasn’t produced at all as head coach.

If the cat is out of the bag already, I see no reason to wait -- hire Schiano now and get started. This season is dumped either way.

Sure, there's negative PR and bad turnover, but again -- already out of the bag now.

The good thing about a job like that is being able to go get paid big bucks and yet no one will put the blame on you for that program sucking.

He'll land just fine on someone's staff i imagine, if he wants to. Or just enjoy the millions he's being paid to not coach.

This is just the stupidest take.

Lol, what?

Tell me more? I hadn’t heard he wasn’t friendly.

People think its hard to win at ISU, the challenge of Rutgers is even worse. The facilities are below average, the schedule is a *****. Every year you get Ohio State, Penn. State, Michigan and Michigan state. Better recruiting territory but no one wants to play there. And they are broke, still fighting losing money all those years in the Big East.

Rutgers is the worse P5 job in college football, and really its not even close. At least Kansas has money.

He behaved like a tool his last time at ISU and frankly, he was not missed when Mac was let go. He was a compliance nightmare and a jerk to boot. (The last part is my take).

Dude thinks he is too good for us anyway.

Maybe, but I don't think he's really all that welcome in Ames/Iowa State athletics either.
