Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach

- Start date
These graphics really paint a picture
Keli has alluded to in at least 1 interview the portal haul was less than great. She’s not raising this money to give it to a meathead who doesn’t know what to do with it.
Interesting to note that 6 of the bottom 7 teams are B1G 10 schools.
in 1978 we decided to go 1A rather than 1AA.. I asked grok to figure out our win percentasge since then without Schiano..
That’s 1978–2000 plus 2012–2019 — 31 seasons. Ties counted as a half-win.
What that window includes:
- The tail of the Burns years (1978–83 still had several winning seasons and the first bowl)
- The Anderson / Graber / Shea stretch (mostly losing)
- Kyle Flood and Chris Ash (2012–19), which had two winning years and then a steep drop
- The strong Bateman/Burns run of the 1960s–1976
- All of Schiano (2001–11 and 2020–present)
.410 vs Schiano's .478 in the Big East and now Big Ten.

5 Losses That Derailed Greg Schiano at Rutgers
Greg Schiano's second go around at Rutgers has had it's bright spots, but not enough. Here are five losses that have derailed his return.

It isn't trivial information that Greg did not post a .500+ record until after Louisville, Cincinnati, and USF replaced Miami, Virginia Tech, (and Temple) in the Big East. Louisville was 1-3 against ranked teams (beat Boise State in the Liberty Bowl) in their last two seasons in C-USA and Cincinnati was 1-2 (beating then #21 Southern Miss) against ranked teams over that time. Miami was 8-3 and VT was 4-3 against ranked teams over the same two seasons. Perhaps RU will win 8 or 9 games under Schiano if the SEC raids the top B1G teams! Come on SEC, I hear Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon want in!!

The thing is you can add another 5-6 games to this list. Has more wtf losses than any coach I’ve seen. Shane Beamer at UofSC gives him a run. But he at least can recruit and has multiple top 10 wins.
Sadly, in 2.0 era, Greg's only "signature B1G win" is beating an 8-5/5-4 Minnesota. Some will point to the Miami bowl game, but the standard should be wins in conference. One signature win in 55 B1G games. That speaks volumes.
His record will be a lot worse by the time he is replaced. He will be the laughing stock of college football.
Greg is still going backwards and destroying whatever semblance of a legacy he thinks he has with each game.
Yep. True leaders leave something better than they found it. Schiano is on the verge of leaving it exactly how he found it. Ash level.
The thing is he basically burned the program to the ground on the way to Tampa. Took the entire staff with him sans flood. I knew the department was seriously dysfunctional when Greg came back as the OSU dc and they played a tribute video and urged the fans to give him a standing ovation.
Yep. He's always been about Greg Schiano. He loves Rutgers, because it has allowed him to put Greg Schiano first.
Well, there are new sheriffs in town. The worst thing that happened was hiring him. We could have gotten an equally as bad coach for less money and an extension that likely never would have happened. The second worst thing that happened besides the extension was Hobbs dipping his pen in the company ink and having to tuck tail, allowing Schiano unfettered, unchecked fiefdom building. It was bad for the university, the dept, and actually him as well.
A lot of blame to go around but that's the past. The only question is what is the best path forward from moving on from Schiano and how fast can you implement the strategy to do so.
Maybe not fair given the talent in the WR room, but Deondre Johnson is having quiet a career since leaving Rutgers.

Maybe he'd still be here if the fans ponied up.
Of course, if he was here, he'd be tackling opposing CBs after interceptions. Violently, of course.
6'8" 220 is good size. Jacksonville State has more NIL than Rutgers? He had 4 receptions and 112 yards last night.Maybe he'd still be here if the fans ponied up.
NIL becomes less and less of an excuse as this season goes on. The important thing is that their QB is throwing passes that are somewhere near the receivers.
Jason Eck another assistant coach out of the MVFC, South Dakota St, in the FCS,.on to Idaho and New Mexico, combined 39-18. That conference knows good coaching thanks to North Dakota St, now in the Mountain West. That's why if Schiano were to lose to Maryland and hopefully fired, turn to Woodley, Drake, or Johansen, South Dakota.

5 Losses That Derailed Greg Schiano at Rutgers
Greg Schiano's second go around at Rutgers has had it's bright spots, but not enough. Here are five losses that have derailed his return.
RutgersAl: "upsets happen!"
RutgersAl: "we don't have the funding to pull off upsets."
....these 5 losses alone should be enough to fire him. PERIOD.
Nuts : "upsets happen!" is a phrase I used repeatedly over the years after reading negative predictions on an upcoming game.
Also complained about lack of funding support , until that was said to be wrong and now just disappointed about the funds not being used intelligently after seeing some of the messages about how Rutgers seems not to have known how to finance a winner under the previous ADs
Before this year I was Mr. Positive, not so much of that now
Upsets happen all the time! Except Schiano can never upset anyone.
He routinely gets beat by teams with less than, along with teams that have as much. Teams that have a little or a lot more? Fuggethaboutit
It's really telling as to what level of coach he is. He can never beat anyone he shouldn't.

"It's really telling as to what level of coach he is. He can never beat anyone he shouldn't."
How soon you forget about the upset Schiano pulled off on Nov.9 ,2006 with Louie favored by 7
Shame on you, that was less than 20 years ago (going by today's date) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rutgers fans still talk about that upset win just like UMass fans will remember their Minutemen playing Schiano's Scarlet Knight team (-30) this year, for years !!!
I would. He would teach the kids discipline which is important at that level. Most will never make it beyond that so it would be helpful.
Honestly that's a good level for him. He can stay around the game, won't be outcoached routinely by professionals, won't have to deal with trying to assess skill sets and attached a monetary component, and can just be the drill instructor control freak he's always dreamed of.
If he really cares about kids like he claims, he should do that.

Many of us were huge fans and supporters of Greg during 1.0, even when he should’ve done a lot better in a few seasons (2006, 2007 and 2008 without question), but I was highly skeptical of bringing him back and all the reasons I listed at the time proved out to be true. It sucks, it really does, I have nothing personal whatsoever against the man, but it just isn’t happening and it’s time to move on. It’s that simple.
He was working on that number for a while while running the clock when behind. Didn't help much I guess.
