Not what I was hoping for but I guess to make the best of a bad situation if they dump all the NIL money into DL OL and LB the rest of the positions are serviceable Then hopefully a second year in Johansons’s system they play better. My wish would be if he changed Ciarocca.
Football Greg Schiano set to return in 2027
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
These dopes in the AD think we have forgotten get spanked at home by lowly UMass
What a mess this is now.
You keep Greg to save money on the buyout, but also hint at changes, which I assume mean to the staff. Doesn't that require buyout money? Won't that require even more money next year when Greg and these new coaches are all fired? Then even more money to get a decent HC and staff in place for '28? Where's all that coming from? Not from new/renewed season tickets...
Who's excited to watch this team play Akron, BC, LIU, Maryland, Northwestern Washington and Ohio State next season?

Any NIL raised and spent will be wasted. The seats should be empty. The damage to the brand, what’s even left of it, is far more costly than the saved buyout.
They got the message a long time ago. Unfortunately the boosters didn’t. Most boosters want to win. Ours want to support Schiano
Could’ve had Bielema if the Schianoites didn’t cry about not getting their way.
Reaping a lot of sows this year.
Complete ******** and im not buying her selling success with a schiano plan
You guys kill me. THERES NO BUYOUT MONEY!!!! Greg will get the NIL this year to do better. If he doesn’t make a bowl, and I mean 6 wins minimum, he’s gone. Period. Now we know. The cards are in the table. Put up or shut up.
IF he does well, fans will jump back on… fans gonna fan.

Rutgers is basically acknowledging they have no business being in the big ten. Just end this madness. Total failure of an athletic department and I’m sure Zinn is having 2nd thoughts.
Decommits are all gone, don't see them coming back.
Anyone who is not happy with this announcement should be sending an email to their Rutgers Ticket Representative. bye bye
If this is the case, go back to the AAC, CUSA, or whereever they can afford to be a competitive athletic program.
Also confirmed NJ politicians run the AD. There is no autonomy in making decision involving athletics. Keli has a tier of bosses. She is just a lackey
You’re right, there is no money. we’re a fake big ten school. Just end the charade now and go back to our roots and join the patriot league. We’re now at 40 years of ineptitude. How much more do we need?
What Division 1 athlete would even joining a football program where the football coaches continue to thing that Sean Allison is a P4 Linebacker and that AJ Surace is a D1 QB?????

Maybe I should’ve made a bet that Schiano would outlast Zinn.
Id leave if I was her if the Boosters would rather have a mealy mouthed coach instead of a coach who can actually be competitive.
got to learn how Mike Gundy's offseason went before getting fired at the start of the following season lol... looks more similar than I originally thought off a few days ago
Bowl shouldn’t be enough. You can go 3-6 in conference and get a bowl. It should be winning conference record which essentially means 8 wins regular season.
We’re already in territory where only Locksley and Wilcox had tenures this long without one.
That goal of winning conference record should be clearly stated. Reporters should ask too.
Before the season, I thought next year would be the defining one but that was before UMass etc…thought that might change the calculus but obviously not. The buyout next year will be low double digits just like Locksley, Aranda and Doeren were this year. So money shouldn’t be an issue in making a change. Set a meaningful goal and then make the move if it’s not reached.
Says it all.
Rutgers has made the decision we don’t belong.Just a charade right now.
LOL. She had me until the 3rd paragraph. Schiano has put together a Plan. Where have I heard that before? Its like the Boy that cries Wolf. The Plan is always rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic resulting in losing a lot of football games and beating NOBODY with a winning record. Schiano is literally the Squirrel who NEVER finds the Nut. Wake me up when this is over. I feel sad for the 25 or so poor souls who attend the games next year.
"...I am encouraged by the plan he has developed..." Yikes!
Greg should be fired but the financial situation is obviously not allowing it. If I’m Keli, here is what I’ve said to Schiano. I will give you another shot to fix this. If you win X games you get to Coach another season. If you do not win X games then you must resign and lower the buyout. Put it in Greg‘s hands. Greg has done a lot for this university and in return the university has been very good to him. This might not be possible, but it makes a lot of sense. Greg doesn’t want to leave the university in a bad spot, but he’s also a competitor and doesn’t wanna give up. This gives both sides what they want.
ROTFLMAO
Hahahahahhahahahaha.
Someone please call the Athletics Department and let them know that the Rutgers Insiders™ have been telling everyone all season that Schiano is about to be fired. This has to be a mistake. I mean ... they have *Inside* information based on tight relationships with our new AD.
I will remind everyone that NOBODY who posts on this message board knows anything or has any influence. Anyone who suggests they do should be relentlessly mocked. They make RutgersAl (the board doufus) look smart by comparison.

Sorry but wasn't that the plan after last season?
You folks laughed.Small complication. Rutgers is under a hiring freeze effective July 9, 2026.
I was saying this from the very beginning and was laughed at by many. When you run a 75mm budget deficit already you can't blow up your budget more. It would blow up the department and all sports and hamstring it for years to come.
the best thing Rutgers can do is work down Greg's and pikes contracts.
Lost all confidence in the AD for this.
we will continue to suck and nobody will tune in

Sad day and message sent. Tate and Zinn lied to everyone and ate over their heads here. The University does not care !
No reason to lose confidence in the AD. She got stonewalled by the University and no support from the State of NJ. I posted above what I posted earlier this year. I hiring freeze is in place. Everyone is crying about money and the cost of living. This just was not going to happen.
Almost exactly 8 years to the day
This, should be easier in next year/next season right?
shouldn't matter to prevent changing a failing head coach, as many fans here wanted...
