I didn’t make something that hadn’t happened in 40 years about Greg. Please stop putting words in my mouth! As I said, I had no idea what hadn’t happened in 40 years. The thread is about a non top 25 team knocking off a top 25 team, a team making a coaching change and it immediately making an impact. And being an Ru board - I compared it to Greg.

Do you think we can't see your OP?

One agree we agree- you have NO IDEA. Couldn't have said it better myself.

You literally accused GS of doing something not done since 1985.

Save it for NJ.Com.

KF team was competitive against State Penn, losing 13-10. One of only 2 times that we scored in double digits since 2014.

And in 2015, we had an interim staff. No Flood, No GS. We played the Cult. Please let me know what the result was of that game.

I wonder sometimes if I was the only one who watched it...

I think you’re just trolling now: here’s my OP:


Good coaching does wonders - it’s crazy.

in his 2nd game, UCLA coach does 2 things we haven’t done in 6 seasons. So so so frustrating.
Beat Psu and upset a top 25 team

Never mention Greg. Never mention 40. Again, I’m not sure why you’re harping on 40 years.

im not sure what exactly is inaccurate or a crazy opinion here..but I know you love our coach and belittle anyone who criticizes him..so all good. Just hope it’s not all just a game for you.

LOL. 6 seasons. So Ash and Flood had no obligation to beat a top 25 team? Also, we didn't play any top 25 teams this year, and I believe last year Illinois was ranked in one poll. We also didn't play Cult last year or this yet.

It wasn't about him but somehow excluded 8 years prior of the same issue.

The last time a 0-4 team beat a top 10 team was 1985. That was 40 years ago.

Inaccurate and crazy would be generous. Also I thought you weren't criticizing?

I just criticize crappy trolling. Which is what you're doing.

what do ash and flood have to do with anything?!?!

ucla coach beats top 25 team in game 2. Schiano has yet to beat top 25 team in year 6. This is not a good look.

Just so I understand the expectations, it was reasonable for them not to beat a top 25 team? You write this like before 2020 it was a regular occurence. Which of course, is trolling.

what do you mean reasonable? They were both fired after 3 years. Greg is on year 6. Can’t compare the three and I have no idea why you are

4 years, Ash started the 4th season and Flood was here save for when he was suspended. And, you have said repeatedly Flood was a great coach, why didn't he have any top 25 wins in 4 years? Greg then had to clean up that mess. And we haven't even played a top 25 team this year. He probably should have scheduled differently, lol. Not to mention again last year Illinois wasn't even ranked in both polls. And that was one.

You failed your own test.

I’m not sure I ever said flood was a “great coach”..just the best gameday coach Rutgers has had since I’ve been following.

Greg’s done a great job cleaning up Ash’s mess for sure. But he’s shown he can’t do much else.

So shouldn't Flood have beaten a top 25 team in that span, having inherited a team that was doing so shortly before his arrival?

I wish he had. Sure. I’m not sure any coach is “supposed” to upset a top 25 team. And he didn’t even play a top 25 team his first season with that said team…

but when coaches are doing it every week and Rutgers hasn’t even done it in years - that speaks volumes about coaching.

we need someone who can do it! A big win like that will do wonders

UCLA looking good early on the road at MSU…up 17-7 and threatening for more points currently….from predictions of winless to maybe two wins in a row lol.

Seems both teams have continued in the same direction momentum wise.

UCLA beat MSU 38-13 and right now PSU in a battle with NW just up 14-13. Who is to say we couldn’t beat them when they're playing like this.

NW up 16-14 on PSU at the start of the 4th

NW up 22-21 on PSU 5 min left

NW won

Beating Penn State is easier than beating a drum this season.

It’s NW huge treasure chest of NIL that helped them beat PSU. Just ask Greg and the apologists.

Another point why Schiano continues to be the worst coach in the Big Ten and one of the worst in the country

I can't wait for: "It doesn't matter we beat them. Allard is out and they're bad this year!"

Going to say it again. It matters a lot less. Just like nobody giving Flood credit for beating Michigan. It's not a signature win. It's an everybody gets a trophy win, and something RU fans can be happy about, but not a significant win for college football generally. There will surely be fans who think Greg will deserve a huge raise and an extension if it happens, but they love mediocrity.

It would not be a signature win unless they somehow won every game between today and then which I doubt.

The point is the hypocrisy. The same posters want to credit UCLA for beating a "name" team but not us. Of course we have done it. We beat UW coming off a NC game appearance. OP was not going crazy about that.

Also at least on this board and from what I have seen elsewhere, most "fans" are rooting for us to lose out, believing it will result in GS being fired (LOL) and hiring a "splash" (LMAO).

so without Allard, with an interim coach, PSU down badly this year, and Rutgers at home - do you think we should beat them? Probably our best chance to..no? Would it looks bad if we don’t? Am I able to get angry if we don’t?

You will be angry either way, but yes we should beat them based on what we know today.

Someone there bought him out. GS' buyout is less than half- feel free to approach Zinn with that cash!
