With the recent news that athletic director Pat Hobbs received a contract extension, there are plenty of positives that have been accomplished since his arrival. A major increase in fundraising, facility improvements, the partnership with RWJBarnabas, the partnership with Adidas, and the attention to the non-revenue sports have all been important developments in Hobbs' tenure so far. However, AD's are ultimately judged in large part by how successful their coaching hires are for football and men's basketball. Hobbs had the rare task of having to start over with both programs within six months of his arrival are Rutgers. How Chris Ash and Steve Pikiell perform with their respective programs will go a long way in determining the legacy of Hobbs as well.
