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

Wait a second…..you mean…..COACHING MATTERS???!!!

Where’s Al to “spin” this one?

Greg Schiano's average margin of loss against top 25 ranked teams is 25.4 points. Dude can't even compete lol.

That’s beyond pathetic but, hey, we recruit and graduate “Rutgers Men” so there’s that!!!

 

[Caliknight]

He was working on that number for a while while running the clock when behind. Didn't help much I guess.

The ball is the program!

Totally agree

The funniest part is he actually had one beat (Illinois) and decided to ice the kicker going into a gale force wind and over 50 yards. Schiano beats himself constantly.

He lost me long before that, but it was then I knew he was bona fide coaching moron. The only thing worse than that call was the explanation post game. Didn't even have the guts to say he f'd up. I'm sure he lost the locker room that day. Would have most certainly lost me.

He lost a lot of people that season. No Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, or Oregon on the schedule and he couldn't manage to win 5 conference games. In addition to brain farting the team into defeat against Illinois, there was the inexcusable loss to a terrible UCLA team at home, the utter collapse against Kansas State in the bowl game, and getting boat raced by a mediocre Wisconsin team.

Greg is still going backwards and destroying whatever semblance of a legacy he thinks he has with each game.

Thanks Greg!
We have now sunken to the laughingstock of P4 College Football.

Look. None of this really matters. Either we find the money to replace Greg the right way or we don’t. This can’t be done on the cheap and Zinn knows it. She’s not stupid enough to act without being able to select the caliber coach she wants as she knows it won’t work in the long run. She can’t just hire an assistant and hope it pans out. Anyone established who is decent is going to require a big donor to step up. If the money were there it would’ve happened already. There’s no good answer really. Waiting out the year is an unpopular thought but if it means she is in a better financial position next year to hire a coach that might actually succeed then it’s not necessarily the wrong decision. I know that’s not what folks want to hear but money doesn’t exactly grow on trees and no qualified coach is coming to RU unless we can find money to pay that person a competitive salary. And that coach will also need to be assured of our NIL spend resources for players. If we can’t find the money to compete with these things, then we can’t “play ball”. Thats the bottom line.

The key variable OPs analysis is missing is money. Most of the games we lose are against programs with more money. Most of our victories have come against programs with similar or less money.
That’s why the optimal solution isn’t to change coaches, it’s to simply invest more.

Did anybody in the Big East in 2008 have more talent than Rutgers did?

answer it

Did UConn in 2011 have ‘more money? A better roster?

I know it violates the ‘NIL manifesto’ but it’s not all about money. Schiano has had opportunities against programs in duress but nothing matters. He simply cannot win games.

UNC with like 10 starters suspended.

Interim coaches. Fired coordinators. Iowa with top 3 WRs out. Even when these opportunities come along, he just….can’t.

you really have to be fair He started in his first 2 years going 3-20 following Shea and then, taking over for Ash 8-14 in his first two years. That is a combo of 11-34 taking over the worst two teams in the NCAA - that makes the rest of his years a combined 88-74 just saying

Agree and hyperbole isn’t needed to make the point. It’s all there while still being fair. No coach was going to win games in those seasons you cite.

 

[RU on Manns Planet]

in 1.0 it was .573 and 2.0 it's .449 (in 1.0 during this time, he had 11 players drafters...ouch)

this puts him in #8 worst and #3 worst respectively

He is an absolutely horrid coach inside the stadium.

it's ok to feel below

Two things about 1.0. There were almost always 5 easy OOC games and of course the terrible 2010 season was a part of the last 4 seasons. Just a terrible team that year that was hard to reconcile in year 10 kind of like this year is hard to reconcile.

sorry friend, I'm responding due to my respect for you but I've left his board. I'm done with RU football and Greg. I'm completely apathetic now and don't care what happens. We're not a BIG program, we're a Patriot league program pretending. I am now of the opinion that we do not belong in the BIG. shocking as I've been one of it's most ardent defenders

that said, just about everything I've told them on the round table has come to pass including the 2 obstacles at home and the changes in the BIG. People should listen more. There is more on the horizon, people better buckle up and you can thank Greg and the administration. As I've said, Greg hurts us more than helps us

I get IMs and am on the mainboard hope you are well

2010- was coming...if you look back- you could see it. GS 1.0 had years that he did not even recruit a single OL. That is just crazy. Almost as bad as 2.0 having a year with no QB coming in. And for the first time- in the couple of years before 2010 - the star ranking become more important to GS than the actual player and filling out a complete roster. The Savage fiasco made it even worse.

GS 2.0 - has no idea how to maneuver the portal or NIL and was never good at Roster construction in the first place. And now- add in some just pure stupidity of his gameday coaching....there isnt much to say as a positive anymore
