RUTGERS

Seton Hall School of Law dean emeritus Pat Hobbs, who served as the Pirates’ interim athletic director from 2009-2011, will replace Julie Hermann as Rutgers’ permanent AD, president Robert Barchi announced Sunday. “In my meetings and conversations with Pat, and also with Board Members Greg Brown and Ken Schmidt, it was clear to all of us that Pat had the attributes required for our next Director of Athletics,” Barchi wrote in a letter to the Rutgers community. “We offered Pat the permanent job on Friday and we are proud to welcome him as our new Director of Athletics.” Barchi added, “The search for a new Head Football Coach will begin immediately and will be led by Pat Hobbs, with input from Greg Brown, Ken Schmidt, and me.” -Jerry Carino, Asbury Park Press, Read More
