How and why did AD Pat Hobbs keep Rutgers coaching search so quiet?

PISCATAWAY – Pat Hobbs couldn’t lead new Rutgers football coach Chris Ash on his first tour of the school’s athletics facilities Sunday night because the new athletic director hadn’t yet seen them himself.

Hobbs spent his first few days in charge hunkered in his apartment making non-stop phone calls to and watching YouTube videos of potential candidates for his first big hire.

The next few were spent narrowing the field, meeting with candidates, and honing in on Ash.

Pat Hobbs spent first week as @RUAthletics director watching YouTube videos, not sleeping. Why? https://t.
