Breaking, from Pens official Twitter account.

 

[Andy99]

although I wanted him gone, I hope his personal issue is nothing too serious

 

[Dominance]

That escalated quickly.

 

[hskey]

This is very sudden and shocking. Hopefully everything is ok. For all the bongo moves, he made some good ones and won 2 cups. I'd say that's a successful stint!

 

[xlm34]

Damn that seems not good seeing how much he talked about being around for a while.

 

[Gold Diamond]

Wow.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Woah, this came out of the blue...that's worrisome.

 

[Ryder71]

He's gone, good luck to him though.

 

[dogthateats]

I had to double check the twitter handle. Hope he is ok and best of luck to him.

 

[RustyRazor]

Obviously everyone should wish him well and appreciate the two cups that he helped to facilitate. That said, new blood in the front office might mean a new coaching set up isn't that far away if the team continues to flounder.

 

[harmonica]

personal reasons = the team sucks

 

[Speaking Moistly]

Personal reasons is concerning.

 

[CheckingLineCenter]

Wow.

I hope everything is okay with him and his family.

He runs a team the exact opposite of how I would do it; but that style got us 2 back-to-back Cups. Thanks for everything, JR.

Allvin’s ascent to the top has been rapid. I think the comment about Fitzgerald in NJ being the possible heir here makes more sense now too.

 

[SomeDude]

Hopefully he's ok. A genuinely likeable human. Thank you for the 2 Cups, JR.

This hasn't even been hinted at. In fact, local writers have actually had Rutherford talking about how much he's enjoyed the job.

This is absolutely stunning.

And this is such a casual quote from him, "I know it's a little unusual to have this happen during a season, but just felt this was the right time to step away." Doesn't really suggest health problems. Maybe the pandemic caused him to reevaluate things?

 

[Ginormousthumbs]

I hope he has a beach house that he can relax in.

 

[KIRK]

Woah, this came out of the blue...that's worrisome.

And scary.

The man loved this job.

He's not leaving just to leave.

God speed to him.

 

[Gurglesons]

As much as I bag on Rutherford. He seems like a good person.

Hopefully he is okay.

 

[PensandCaps]

Made Great moves here. HOFer.

 

[KIRK]

I hope he has a beach house that he can relax in.

He has the beach house.

I hope he can relax and it's about fatigue or something of that sort and not something more serious.

 

[Peat]

Hope everything will be okay for him.

 

[Gurglesons]

This makes me wonder a little more if this is actually health related, tbh.

"Right time to step away". That is odd to me.
