Rutgers football is such a joke. They’ve got Big 10 money, and just can’t get it together. It really might not matter at all who ends up coaching them.
The Scarlet Knights are just destined to be awful. They were 8-32 under Ash. Does anybody think they’d be much better under anybody else?

Rutgers doesn’t need to be dialing up plays. They need to be saying some prayers. Short of Nick Saban leaving Tuscaloosa, there’s no savior coming to New Jersey.
Who would even want to take this job? The recruiting is awful, there’s no infrastructure relative to what’s needed and they play in arguably the toughest division of football.
You’re just asking to be fired by agreeing to take the Rutgers job.

Best of luck to Rutgers going forward, but something tells me they’re about to find out firing Chris Ash won’t fix any of their problems.
