[geothermal88]

any chance? Guy will be a head coach soon.
have him run our defense in 2026-2027.

HC will be his position when he returns to the College game
Don't rule out Wisconsin dumping Fickell and bringing in Fitzgerald

​

 

[LeapinLou]

I don't see him taking anything but a head coaching job. He will easily be forgiven for what was a questionable dismissal at Northwestern.

He can be our head coach.

 

[RU#1fan]

He would never work for Schiano

 

[Knight Shift]

Will he bring the Car Wash with him?

Why would he do that?

 

[RU Jeep]

He is a head coach and will get a job if he wants one this cycle.

 

[WillieTheSilent]

Why would he do that?

Wouldn't hurt to give him a call.. you never know. Remember Ralph Friedgen. I would think he might do DC at a NC contender.

 

[mdk02]

He would never work for Schiano

If you say he will only be a HC so he wouldn't
work for anyone is one thing. But to specify Schiano is merely projecting your hatred and without tangible backup

Ralph was older so it was a better fit

 

[WillieTheSilent]

Ralph was older so it was a better fit

Yeah.. not a good fit.. he'd need some higher talent level, I would think.. than what our guys have shown.. unless they are severely underperforming to their talent level right now.. which is at least partially true.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

Friedgen wasn't working under a micromanager. He wouldn't have come here if Schiano had still been the coach, and I doubt Schiano would have asked.

 

[Knight Shift]

Ralph was older so it was a better fit

Flood also let him run the offense unfettered.

 

[Knight Shift]

Brent Pry would be a better choice, and he does not come with dirty laundry from the car wash escapades at Northwestern. But that scumbag from Maryland DJ Durkin is moving back up the ranks and someone will probably hire him soon.

 

[MADHAT1]

He would never work for Schiano

What you are claiming is probably true:
Unless Schiano forces Tate to approve a new field-house be built that will rival Oregon's "the nest" a 145,000-square-foot facility features custom-built PlayStation consoles and luxurious lockers with marble showers.
Then you can bet Fritz begs Greg to hire him

 

[mdk02]

The 2014, 2015 and 2025 WRs are probably the 3 deepest and most talented groups Rutgers has had in the last 40 years. Even more than 2006. And AK is no slouch at QB. The fit issue is age, not talent.

Schiano is extremely difficult to work with, that’s a fairly known fact.

Its kinda why he has “his crew” that he continues to hire.

So what you are saying is a NC contender should give him a call

 

[RU Cheese]

DC my ***. Can our garbage coach and hand the keys to fitz yesterday.

 

[WillieTheSilent]

So what you are saying is a NC contender should give him a call

yesh.. that's what I am saying... moron.

I could read your message and pretend that you just called us a NC contender. See how easy that is, moron?

Think of how many human beings read my comment and realized what it meant and did NOT make the NPC comment that I mean we are an NC contender. Only you jumped to that idea and had to reply.. moronic NPC move.

 

[WillieTheSilent]

um.. we were talking about DC. But, sure, an offensive-minded HC candidate might have other calculations to make.. but this defense, as it is, is an albatross. Think Richie's podcast guys indicated the low D talent level might be why our old DC went to take the impossible UMASS HC job. So my comment was.. even if Fitz (or any other DC candidate) had some reason to take a DC job here working with GS, that talent level might be a huge stumbling block.. unless he can see the talent and realize it was some really poor DC coaching that has us where we are... and he could turn it around and look like a hero.

I believe we were talking about fit and Fridge. I stand by my comment.
