Was about to respond with something similar. If he does to get to 9-10 win seasons, Schiano will not be going anywhere and will get rewarded handsomely at that point. If he does not like t reward a 9-10 win Rutgers will have no problem attracting coaches or players. If he does not get to 9-10 win seasons we will be in market for a different coach.Given what we did with CVS, expect RU to do the dumbest thing possible…Especially if Hobbs is still around
He could've gone to a bowl this year and I'd say don't do anything. He can win your 9 games for a season and I'd still say the same. I don't want to be locked into long term contracts off short term results. Not a fan of his 8 year deal either. We're not these rich schools that can buy someone out so easily either. Things have to be financially manageable in the event things go wrong and we see in the landscape more often than not they do.Not yet, but once he wins 9-10 games, they will be.
We are not getting to 9-10 wins. Maybe once in a blue moon when the stars align, but 7-8 wins will be a massive success.Was about to respond with something similar.

And engineered a minor turnaround following the decline at the end of Helfrich's tenure.Not for nothing and it was the PAC-12 but be was 35-13 at Oregon with 2 conference titles over 4 seasons. When GS gets us close to that point then we will need to worry about competing but not quite there yet.
Just stop. The two situations are not even remotely close and there are many more differences than any similarities. That does not indicate any approval of the CVS deal/situation. It's just totally different.Given what we did with CVS, expect RU to do the dumbest thing possible…Especially if Hobbs is still around
Yesterday you say we are in a ditch . Now our coach is gonna win 9-10 games ??Not yet, but once he wins 9-10 games, they will be.
We won’t fire him if he wins 7 or 8 games. That’s our ceiling.Was about to respond with something similar.

Rutgers fans would settle for one winning conference record from schiano .Exactly. I forgot he was at Oregon (I don't constantly keep track of people who have left Rutgers).
Just a casual look at his resume:
G5 Conference COY (Sun Belt)
P5 Conference COY (P12)
4 winning seasons in a P5 conference
3 P5 Conference Championship Game appearances
2 P5 Conference Championships
Rose Bowl win
That resume costs money.
Hey, they found a billionaire booster to foot the bill. We could sure use one.Al, have you not heard the riotous hoopla surrounding this whole thing? Cristobal will pull an 8MM-a-year salary, but I don't think that includes the 9MM buyout that UM has to pay Oregon, then there's the 8MM owed to Manny Diaz. And where's the money coming from is the worst part of it.
We are in a ditch. But during Schiano I, we went from 4-7 to 7-5 to 11-2. I’m hopeful for a similar type trajectory.Yesterday you say we are in a ditch . Now our coach is gonna win 9-10 games ??
I like the enthusiasm
We need a nevin Shapiro type. He’s out of jail so maybe he would be interested in supporting good old RU.Hey, they found a billionaire booster to foot the bill. We could sure use one.
Schiano only won more than 10 games once during his first stint here, and while the BE was never as bad a conference as the media (mainly ESPN) made it out to be, the B1G is the deeper end of the pool. 9 or 10 wins a year is a stretch.Not yet, but once he wins 9-10 games, they will be.
Greg Schiano is the exception, because he is the only coach that has been able to demonstrate consistent success. It would be cheaper for us to pay Greg his $8M, then to go the cheapskate route only to watch that person fall flat on his face. Rutgers decision not to pay up for Cristobal in 2012 cost us 10 years of progress. Greg needs to be our JoePa.He could've gone to a bowl this year and I'd say don't do anything.

Want to give a big 1 time bonus (in the millions) for some good results in a given year, I'm fine with that. But I don't want long term obligations without consistent results shown over years. Just like I say with other coaches, if they want to leave then let them and do your job as an AD and find the next guy who can be good.
There are no exceptions. You might think there are but there aren’t. ADs making bad hires doesn’t make this an exception it just means make better hires.Greg Schiano is the exception, because he is the only coach that has been able to demonstrate consistent success.

The difference is some of those other guys did it in the same season.Not yet, but once he wins 9-10 games, they will be.

Well your wrong. The new arms race is NIL deals. Coaches contracts have already been an arms race chief.Schiano makes 4+ million a year. Hardly underpaid. Just because some schools this year entered crazy coaching contracts doesn't mean every program will (be able to) follow suit. I said last year, the new arms race is coaching contracts. It'll bleed into assistant coaches too and soon many P5 programs will pay their OC\DC 1 million. But given Schiano's Penn St history, he doesn't have a whole lot of leverage, no other school will be gunning for him, unless he starts winning a lot more than losing.
The resultant increase in ticket revenue will take care of it. (He will only receive this increase after success)How many millions are you ponying up?
Consistent success? He’s 76-80 all time.Greg Schiano is the exception, because he is the only coach that has been able to demonstrate consistent success.

That’s the point. Schiano’s only other option besides Rutgers paying him $4MM was the NE Patriots paying him $1MM. There is no market for Greg Schiano. At some point we were bidding against ourselves.Schiano makes 4+ million a year. Hardly underpaid.

That's a bit misleading. If you are going to do that, then I need to revise my Mario Cristobal comparison and throw in his 27-47 record and his 62-60 overall record. On that comparative record, Greg and Mario should be paid equivalently. (I strive to see both sides of arguments).Consistent success? He’s 76-80 all time.
Mario Cristobal purportedly overcame his past bad record as a head coach at FIU, establishing a 35-13 W-L Record (23-9) in conference over 4 years. In the last 3 years, he had his team finish 1st, 2nd and 1st in his division and got his team to two Rose Bowls.
Greg is 8-13 (5-13 in conference over 2 years). He makes more than Locksley (based on published numbers). Tom Allen at Indiana renogiated his deal in March 21, and at the time: was "24-22 at Indiana with consecutive bowl appearances, a 14-7 record since 2019, and a No. 12 AP poll finish last season."
Results matter. Yeah, Oregon is an easier job and was not a rebuild. But looks at RU's true peers in the B1G lower level and tell me Greg deserves more for the results to date.
Most, importantly, we apparently don't have billion dollar donors who get a more inflated sense of self importance lampooning as minor league sports owners ready to throw money at a head coach of our football team.
