Former UCLA coach Ben Howland might be back on the sidelines sooner than expected. Howland has indicated that he would be interested in the Rutgers job, according to a report by CBS Sports' Gary Parrish.While it would make sense for Rutgers to take an immediate upgrade, it might be a while since they'll be hunting for a new athletic director as well, since former AD Tim Pernetti resigned after coach Mike Rice was fired after a videotape aired of him cursing players out and throwing basketballs at their heads.
Howland has been known to recruit New York City well, so he could be a favorite of university boosters. If I was the president, I would've made this hire yesterday.
