That is pretty crazy, just looked too. Bama has like 41 or so.
All this support staff is how the big boys get away with staying under the NCAA Coaching limit on personnel. Neuheisel has talked about this extensively on his show. Even if they arent doing actual Coaching they can take the load off the staff in terms of communications and organization while in-season or Spring practices require their attention. Edsall wanted to compete with one hand tied behind our backs. From the Portal to communications to staffing. He wanted to be THE GUY. That's was never sustainable in 2020. So they won't be coaching. Definitely not coaching.
That can't be right. They must list them differently. There is no way Rutgers has more staff than Alabama.
Shocking in that he was flexible in so many ways
Union jobs.
Staff Directory - University of Alabama Athletics sort for Football. Bama's is very similar to ours currently. Georgia has 60. I think both UConn and Bama don't have nutritionist and the likes for Football only, that makes a tiny bit of difference, but Rutgers has like 15 offensive analysts and no one has close to that.
We once had a nutritionist who also doubled at the Head Coach. No need for that again.
Team ate one too many fishcakes.
I believe that UConn CAN BE the top ranked team in the Northeast. I think Penn State is the top, but we can be as good as they are and maybe in some years better, but Rutgers, The Fruit, BCU can be beaten in recruiting and games...
Whether Edsall would have succeeded with the apparent increase in staff budget Mora is getting is open for debate, but I’d argue he would have a legitimate beef if he complained “Where was this when I was here?” @FfdCntyFan’s hints at the pettiness of the powers that be not spending what is needed (until now??) are interesting.
Rutgers was #120 in total offense this past year so apparently it doesn’t make much of a difference either.
What one calls "pettiness" another could call "not throwing good money after bad." Edsall would still have been Edsall even with some extra money to spend. I'm comparing this situation to the Bobby V Red Sox. That year was a disaster yet he made some good calls. Youk was washed up, Papi was jaking it. But even though it wasn't all his fault, he took all the fault with him when he was sacked and the Sox started fresh, even John Lackey.
Rutgers probably has pretty sizable helicopter maintenance crew.
The school has the money. It's the BoT that strong arms the AD into being cheap because it doesn't line their pockets with more cash. If Mora turns this around relatively quickly, watch how fast the board changes their tune with investing in football.
