I wonder if he even went to RU. Maybe he's actually an old ***** living in the slums of India with access to a computer.
You’re an old man living next to the slums of Atlantic City. You’re not in position to judge. The land in the biggest slum in India is worth more than your 💩hole..

Wrong but thanks for playing. You don’t even have season tickets so don’t know why you’re running your mouth.
No wrong. You confirmed it when pushed. Don't lie now.

I donate enough to have every AD since Pernetti's mobile number and get an individual audience with them over dinner. NOne of them have any idea who you are outside of getting suspended from having anything to do with the program after making creep videos singing to recruits. You're a bizarre guy. It's no shock you need to come to a football message board looking for dating advice.

Al is setting himself up to be a grad school case study on “delusions” in the future.
DelusionAL. The tremendous lies he tells on this board that everyone knows are untrue is wild. He needs professional help. You can see why he can't get a girl.

Huge money at IUP (had to wash the players uniforms because they didn’t have staff) Even more money at Elon. JMU broke the bank for him. Had his priorities straight when negotiating at Indiana and asked for NIL rather than a bloated staff and field house (your favorite) and left money in the table his first year (didn’t use it all). Cuban didn’t donate until after proof of concept and not to the numbers people claim.
So yea it’s definitely not coaching!!!
He already had nice facilities. He didn’t need to do anything additionally. All he needed was NIL and he got exactly what he asked for, and with that he’s made very solid personnel decisions, which is the biggest reason for his success.

Not discounting anything, but his ability to spot and develop talent, is his greatest asset. I’m allowed to have my opinion. Yours isn’t the only one that matters around here.
Wait you said it was money. Now you’re coming around to what I’ve been saying for 3 years. He can evaluate and develop. Which is the definition of coaching. It’s not money. It’s coaching. He won everywhere he’s been. Google his name!!!

He negotiated enough money to succeed. Otherwise he would not have been in Indiana.
According to AI:

Resource Guarantees: Cignetti negotiated directly with Indiana Athletic Director Scott Dolson and university administration to ensure significant backing from Indiana's NIL collective, Hoosiers Connect. He insisted that the school scale up its football investment to compete in the Big Ten before he agreed to take the position.


• Roster Allocation Strategy: Rather than promising massive, multi-million dollar deals to top high school recruits, Cignetti negotiated a budget structured specifically to target the transfer portal. He used these secured resources to bring over key starters from James Madison as well as proven college transfers.

Yea exactly what I’ve said from day one. You were the one that denied it.
I would hope that if Schiano came in at the same time as Cignetti and Indiana that Greg would make the same requests. But I don’t think he would prioritize NIL over bloated staff.Historically Indiana was a similar program to Rutgers. Cignetti knew he could coach and locked himself in a room brought in staff and hit the portal to turn over the roster. The players Cigs had in the 24 roster were the same players Schiano a sitting coach had access to. Schiano used similar resources to “retain” roster rather than improve.

We've discussed this already. It’s not new. You’re just starting to realize that many of the things that Schiano prioritizes are the exact thing that are leading to his failure.

Makes sense that you love AC so much, must feel like home

Atlantic City is 100 times better than it was 10 years ago. It’s not where it needs to be, but progress, is being made, though slowly. OP is right. AC is a good value for the money and a fun place for the weekend.

I've never seen anyone who constantly contradicts their own posts as much as you, even in the same thread you can't keep your story straight.

We have a big operating budget because unserious goofballs like yourself don’t donate. Thats why it takes more effort to recruit. I’ve forgotten more than you will ever know.

we’re at the bottom in terms of nil and facilities. That’s why it is so difficult for us to recruit.
One has nothing to do with the other.

Your truly a bad uneducated fan! Please stop .

Go e joy the games with your family and leave the sports talk to the adults

There’s no contradiction, just your poor comprehension. one day you’ll learn the difference between living near AC and visiting once in a while. In the meantime, I’ll pray that ACs finest citizens don’t make you disappear. It’s time to reconsider your poor life choices.

Didn’t deny anything. You misunderstood. And what you are not understanding is that Indiana was ready to win, because they already fulfilled the prerequisites, namely facilities. Rutgers is an adverse situation. He and coaches like him aren't coming within 500 miles of this place, unless it’s for an opportunity to score a 30+ point win. Look at our previous coaching candidate pools. Solid coaches avoid this place like the plague. A solid retread like Bielema is the best we can do. Would a solid retread like Bielema or Kelly put the effort like Schiano to turn this place around? Probably not.

No Al I understand. And we’ve been having this conversation for years. Now you are finally coming around. But still denying many years of posts where you’ve stated the exact opposite. Indiana was such a better place than Rutgers? No. Cignetti made it a better place. The problem with Rutgers has always been horrible leadership going all the way back to Grunninger. L eaders afraid to turn over a stone. They listen to washed up coaches and rival AD’s for advice on who to hire. There were many “Cignetti” type hires that have been available over the years. It’s less facilities shiny new toys and more coaching and ability to evaluate talent. The exact thing many on here have been saying. Instead you have been preaching it’s all about money.

Cignetti benefited from significant investments that Indiana made in its football programs facilities. Going back to Gruninger, we never had money to make the proper decisions. Gruninger interviewed Glen Mason at Woodbridge Diner, which shows how half-assed things were done.

when recruits visit Michigan and they compare with Rutgers they immediately know which program is serious about football and which is pretending.

Money is the primary ingredient for success because without money, you can’t choose the best available players. That is what I have contended all along. Miami significantly upgraded their facilities and is paying top dollar for recruits.
Indiana is paying top dollar for quarterbacks.
They paid Mendoza $2.6M and big money to this years qb Josh Hoover. Meanwhile, We’re shopping the bargain bin. You think we should be able to find good players on the cheap, unless I am misunderstanding you. That’s not reality, that’s fantasyland.

We’ve been over the numbers on Indianas and Rutgers facility investment over similar period of time. And Rutgers outspent them.
I would never defend Grunninger because he was the definition of incompetence. But that’s how many interviews are conducted to this day. You don’t want to risk bringing someone into the headquarters until you know they are aligned. I’ve been interviewed and interviewed others in similar locations. Because it’s safer for all involved. Especially if you’re still employed. Not really a sign of what you think it is. And I’m sure Glenn being from Woodbridge had nothing to do with location choice.

You don’t take someone to F’ing Woodbridge diner because it’s cheap, and shows you lack budget. Which was true, which is why we had the golf coach serving as AD. I’ve eaten at many nice venues in NYC, and nothing was the caliber of Woodbridge diner. And my role isn’t as prestigious as head football coach at Rutgers. Bob Mulcahy took Schiano to Panicos, which was appropriate. That is the minimum.

Keep switching the story Al. It’s not about quality of food. It’s not about price point. It’s about ease and anonymity.
