I used to have no issues with your posts or opinions as we all have different views........but more recently your contant non-stop condescendance, chastising and insulting the intelligence of any poster who debates you or points out the hypocrisy of your previous posts is getting old and tiring for almost everyone in this community.

Life at its core is about relationships and you've pretty much burned almost all of them on this forum. You either don't care...which makes you a troll...or you haven't realized this.....which means you lack any self awareness.

Keli Zinn faces a dilemma.

The athletics budget enjoys a salary increase of 7%. The Rutgers budget for salaries is up 1%.

The Rutgers athletics department is soaking in money.

Keli must solve the football situation inside the generous budget the BoG signed in July.

That budget doesn’t include outside funds she and her team generate

The budget shows +66% on donations. I doubt it.

The apparel deal -- a fact written in a contract and signed -- economics are an embarrassment.

Let us see what outside funds are generated.

Yes, and THEN we got a GM and a decent NIL and now the roster looks way better. What’s your point?

And regarding the Ace and Dylan season, we had very little NIL. Our third best player got injured and that was the end of any chance. Two lottery picks can’t win by themselves, especially when 1) they are error prone freshmen, 2) one missed 6 games and 3) with a terrible roster around them.

WTF are you talking about? ... at the time, they were saying Dylan and Ace got 3+ million in NIL combined. Or are we not counting the two guys that got Top 10 (nationwide) money?

I think the point is, Ace and Dylan got their $$ from non-RU sources. Our roster around them was the wrong blend for those guys. Some of that may have been money. In other cases, I think we targeted the wrong guys.

It also hurt that Ace and Dylan both missed some time.

It's always ironic when the most immature, attention seeking person on the board says things like that with a straight face.

I see where you're coming from. But that also doesn't mean that Tate or Zinn aren't doing anything about it either. They could be raising funds or making plans to replace Greg with a more competent HC. I don't think Zinn would have said what she said if they were going to tolerate Greg's performance in the long run.
Click to expand...
Absolutely yes. They should be aggressively seeking outside funds to fire the money-draining tick that he is.

Was just explaining, without outside money there’s no way it’s cheaper to fire him. A new coach doesn’t boost tickets, sponsorship or any revenue stream until progress offers hope.

A big name new HC will boost season ticket sales.Let’s see what a Brian Kelly does after one week of being hired.

Nope. Not even a big name coach, unlikely as a new coach here would be, would boost revenue enough to offset the drop.

I think there are four human beings in the world that would boost ticket sales as a new hire at Rutgers ...

Nick Saban
Bill Parcells
Rex Ryan
Urban Meyer

Maybe Andy Reid. Maybe Jim Harbaugh.

I don't even think Belichick would increase ticket sales anymore because he's demonstrated over the last two years that even he couldn't turn things around overnight at a big state school.

Writer is a Tennessee alum

Undeniably, Greg Schiano is in first place.

By default. By necessity. By bluster, because his Rutgers athletic director, Keli Zinn, just said last week in an interview that what is happening with Rutgers football isn’t working.
In an era in which no Power Four program gives a damn about bowl eligibility, Rutgers isn’t even bowl eligible after its latest blowout loss.

Schiano has gone from stabilizing force to unmitigated disaster. That he’s lasted another day as Rutgers coach is a slap in the face to those who pay for the program.

A program, by the way, that is now 8-16 in its past 24 games.

8-16 in last 24 games in years 6 and 7. That stupid contract Hobbs gave him has prolonged this embarrassment to futile Ash levels. 4 of those 8 wins are against no P4 teams.

The more you dive into this the worse it gets.

The facilities at UCLA bring in tons of revenue, luxury suites & boxes, something that RU desperately needs, thus off setting any expenditures to maintain a 91,000 seat stadium
Click to expand...
No it doesn't. UCLA's finances are a mess. They don't even have a stadium. The lease it. Not to mention their on campus facilities are a joke. I am there a lot. Some high level high schools have better facilities. Their football team practices next to where intramurals are played. Not much they can do. They have zero room for anything else.

Dude, you post the same thing over and over again and create countless threads that all say the same thing. You only accept facts that support your narrative. Your glass is always half full attitude is very Annoying when literally we are near Ash level bad now.

many here imagine you on the Titanic as it’s sinking and you are yelling: “We can fix the ship. Don’t worry. It’s all ok”

where I agree with you is we can violently disagree but we should keep the posts from crossing a personal insult line

And what drives sponsorship deals ? Eyeballs. And there will be fewer such eyeballs with or without a new coach.

Shelby’s been waiting a very long time for RU to rid itself of The Grifter but the idea that keeping him is more costly than firing him is absolutely false. Were it true it would have happened by now and it would have been received positively by the press and the public, something RU would be quick to point out given the hundreds of millions of deficit over recent past. But instead he and his bloated staff are still here because it’s the cheaper choice. Tate and Zinn aren’t dumb. Lack of action proves financial motives to keep him.

It’s way easier to turn around hoops with a few top players. Football is way harder. But that doesn’t mean I want GS here. He must go!!!!! B

Your post made me laugh with the Titanic line. Funny thing, al seems to have no life skills whatsoever. He's Greg's Pollyanna.

Agreed, but the main point of my post is he has created a positive buzz and vibe, and top recruits are flocking to Rutgers.
