Honestly I still see them as a middle of the pack at best program even though that is an improvement over where they have been in the past. I do not think opposing Big East fans or coaches are shaking over the choice. Mike Rice will make Rutgers competitive I am sure. Post season? When? Not so sure! Rutgers improved with this hire but how much I really cannot say. Great opportunity for Rutgers to get a Program Changer as a Coach and they went for the easy and obtainable choice. But at least he will be personable, and likable by everyone in addition to being a pretty good coach. Hoop Group Contacts are great but rarely will that close a deal.LFBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156215644364582419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508200033145514208.post-4549713968622809452010-05-04T00:36:26.413-04:002010-05-04T00:36:26.413-04:00I did not know a 90 win and 65 loss record, includ...I did not know a 90 win and 65 loss record, including going 42 and 36 in conference games in 5 years at big time programs made you a great coach. Why not throw in Jim Harrick, Dave Bliss and Kelvin Sampson too for the Rutgers job. I see no reason why Fran Fraschilla should get another chance at a major job. <br /><br />Moving forward since Mike Rice is the guy I think it's mediocre choice. I'm sure he will come cheaper than most other guys but I can see him making Rutgers a player in the Big East. I'm hope I'm wrong. I would have looked to seen them go after Joe Dooley an east coast guy who really deserves another chance to be a head guy. He helped Kansas get many of the East Coast kids they have now. Plus he's a good guy maybe too nice for the major inter-collegiate sports world.Portsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251311647548854030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508200033145514208.post-12494929319341434982010-05-03T09:55:45.561-04:002010-05-03T09:55:45.561-04:00You are wrong. Fran won everywhere he has been. He...You are wrong. Fran won everywhere he has been. He left for reasons other than his winning record. He has also matured alot over the years. Trust me he is the best with Al Skinner being a close 2nd. <br /><br />It all really does not matter because Rutgers will hire Mike Rice. Not a bad choice at some places but Rutgers could have done better. Another Hoop Group Person just as Freddy, Jimmy, Dennis Gregory, and Darren Savino were. Same contacts same type of guy. He does seem like a very good coach from what I have seen. I also have met him on many occasions and he is an OUTSTANDING person from what I experienced. But this is the Big East. Rutgers fans get ready for business as usual. Just hope I am wrong!!!LFBallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00156215644364582419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6508200033145514208.post-37969509118672309702010-05-02T21:59:02.890-04:002010-05-02T21:59:02.890-04:00Please tell me why you have an obsession with Fran...Please tell me why you have an obsession with Fran Fraschilla? Here is a guy who is almost 52 and had two big time jobs and couldn't get the job done. Not only that he's had a few code of conduct issues. That being said there are at least 30 quality YOUNG head guys or assistants that should be looked at before Fran names should even come up. The reality is if Fran couldn't win consistently at St. Johns or New Mexico then it sue as hell wont happen Rutgers. I hope Rutgers takes a shot a young solid assistant with recruiting ties to the area.Portsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10251311647548854030noreply@blogger.com
