He has pieces. You act like he's been here for 5 years. Relax and enjoy the season. They may not be winning like we all may want, but there are pieces being put together.
Eddie needs to go
- Thread starter Caliknight
- Start date
Stop whining and wait and see what happens. You guys remember Mike Rice had talent and we still was losing.
If they fire him then fire him but you guys remember a coach that had talent and was losing. Never heard anyone call for his head until the scandal. Hmmm what was his name uh Mike Rice
Relax and enjoy the season?
Are we watching the same games?
I can always appreciate effort even if we are getting killed, but we don't even have THAT to enjoy
It's a shame cause he's a good guy, but EJ needs to be let go yesterday
The team is actually getting worse
This is fantasy. After leading by 9 early in the game, we were out scored 73-35. That's reality
What does Rice have to do with any of this. At least his teams gave effort and played defense
But anyway, bringing him up is a red herring
I guess we will see a fire EJ post after every game.Just curious. I don't think Eddie gets fired after this year. If he can't perform with his team next year, he will have issues.
Comments about not teaching rebounding are shocking to say the least.If you can't reinforce the basics t hat are so important, you will not win. If you don't win,fans don't come, money is lost, and the coach gets fired. I for one, a recent college grad trying to get finances under wraps, can't attend home games until the team starts to show they won't get blown out. Little discouraged yesterday.
I think the most obvious need is a front court alongside Freeman for next year. Diallo and staff must be held accountable for that. We need someone to rebound alongside Freeman for next year. Hopefully Greg plays his best games agains better opponents.
I think Rutgers recruiting has to step up and focus on establishing relationships with good teams and good coaches. Look for a recruit that has the mentaility to play a forty minute basketball game. Right now, we are struggling to find those guys.
Seems like game after game we are playing unstructured basketball. Improvements must be made, and hobbs isn't going to be as patient as Julie Hermann. He actually gives a hoot about basketball. It's not about facilities either. A recruit wants to come to a winning team first and foremost. We had recruits behind the bench, and I am sure they don't want to come here now

How about the comments by the NJ HS coaches on recruiting? I've never read an article like that before.
Honestly, how could anyone think differently. Is he even trying? No rebounding in practice, no outreach, no fire or heart during a game.
BK or Bac or Hawk could do a better job coaching this team.
Posted in the Rutgers recruiting thread where I read the article those HS HCs comments were in , that I couldn't justify defending Jordan anymore after reading what they said.
So you won't hear a peep out of me saying he needs till the end of next season or it should take 7 years to make RU MBB a winning program.
There is no way ,without decent recruiting, RU MBB will get any better.
Again it's rebuilding. It doesn't happen overnight. What happened to Rice and he had talent
No bringing him up is relevant. Go look at his record and talent compared to EJ. You have your opinion and I have mine

We all know that Jordan inherited a sheet show, but in year 3 there is no excuse for what we have now. I can only dream about teams as competent as Rice's right now.

I'm not a fan of not giving a coach four years, but, much like in the winter of 1988-89, I've seen more than enough.
Its been like ''Groundhog Day'' since EJ's been here...results are all talk no play...same with his rotten recruiting. I love ya EJ but do us a favor.
There are not nearly enough pieces.
And MR had a few more pieces but not nearly enough (which is why he lost also but not quite as bad)
Bottom line is that they lost. They were competitive in the St John, and Wake so far it's early
You know what you may be right. After what I epread a few minutes ago with the interviews with NJ coaches, I am disappointed
Thanks but after I read something this morning on EJ, my perspective of him has changed. Learned a lot this morning about him.
