Football Greg Schiano set to return in 2027

[Mr. Magoo1]

Zinn just a DEI hire. No substance. Wish she would go back to West Virginia.

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?

Bring the whole staff back. Dont throw anymore money at this pile of crap. We’ve lived through plenty of trash seasons, we can suck it up for one more if it means a real coach and a real roster in 28. Unless he has a winning record, he’s a mid season firing with ample time for the new guy to recruit.

 

[RUDiddy777]

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.

F that. Give the NIL to Pike and Redus.

All that NIL to go from 2 wins to 4 in football would be better spent on bball.

The outrage on this is hilarious and really shows that fandom is insanely emotional.

We ALL know the financial disparity exists between Rutgers and highly competitive Power 4 teams. Not on the NIL level, but the sheer debt service that exists. The only way that this would have been entertained, if we had the financial donations. We clearly don't because the infrastructure still is lacking (facilities etc..).

We only have ourselves to blame on this. The AD, especially now and here has to be prudent about finances. The cancelling your season tickets sends a message, but not enough to sway what will be approx. a 23 million dollar decision from this year to next.

Good afternoon Al. What's up?

 

[RUDiddy777]

Anyone who is not happy with this announcement should be sending an email to their Rutgers Ticket Representative. bye bye

Unless you’re sending 30 mil with that email, you’re wasting your time.

 

[RUDiddy777]

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.

Keep Pikes name out of your stupid mouth.

I’ll be happy with no price increase. Looks like I have to up the alcohol again at tailgates next year.

Based on the press conference, this sounds exactly like what is happening, though I'd expect his support staff to be marginalized significantly.

She's been here just over a year. This is an idiot statement.

 

[irishflu]

Rutgers needs to boost its financial commitment to the team to entice a high-quality coach. No one is going to step into this mess this year. Spend a year upgrading commitments, then fire Schiano in 12 months and get a better coach than the University could get now.

 

[AdventureHasAName]

F that. Give the NIL to Pike and Redus.

Pike couldn't make the tournament with two lottery picks. He almost missed the conference tournament.

 

[StickPonyz]

Good afternoon Al. What's up?

I assure you..I'm not Al. He's delusional.

 

[King of S]

Told you yahoo’s that Greg runs the show not the AD. Always been this way. Zinn had no choice.

 

[Leonard23]

They got the message a long time ago. Unfortunately the boosters didn’t. Most boosters want to win. Ours want to support Schiano

Isn't it more that boosters just don't want to light their $ on fire to cover buyouts?

 

[King of S]

Zinn just found out that Schiano runs the show. He'll keep whoever he wants on staff and will be happy when she resigns.

100%

Go big in 2028.

 

[RU Cheese]

Well, there could not be any better or more exciting news for Long Island University's football team! They're chomping at the bit AND are coached by former Schiano assistant.

Love that guys who don't give are complaining about how the athletic program should spend its money.

Pike had no money until this season.

He still managed to win 7 conference games with the least talented roster in the B1G and no front court. Greg was given a level playing field and had his worst season since his arrival in 2000.

Go big in 2028.

e.g. schools like Oklahoma State, UCLA went big this year after firing failed head coach...

HE HAD TWO LOTTERY PICKS. Ace and Harper reportedly received more than $3 million in NIL alone (might be true, might not be). And if you think Rutgers Football is playing on a "level playing field"? I don't know what to tell you, but you don't know what you're talking about. Maybe a level playing field with Maryland or Purdue.

 

[jsol_05]

Wonder if she is expecting changes to the coaching staff. Had been wondering if KC was on the chopping block.

Man, we might as well move down a division. This is big time football and we stake for the BS. If she hitches her wagon to GS, she can leave when he leaves. Matter of fact if he comes back next year I am done. It had been a pleasure being ion this site all these years and I wish you all the best. But at my age I have stopped putting up with BS

 

[jsol_05]

If they were gonna keep him, it's about damn time they announced it. The good thing is that we should be able to keep the recruiting class together.

What good is a recruiting class if the coach, can't coach

Haha. She’s being paid a shitload to figure it out. Listen to her speak. No substance.

These are high paying jobs and we never know when to cut bait and take the loss. You’ll see.

 

[Knight Shift]

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.

Some on this board are fairly connected and know things, but they do not post information shared in confidence on a public message board. So you are wrong there, and there is no need to act so smart and be so quick to "relentlessly mock" others.

 

[jsol_05]

In other words....no $$$.

I had high hopes for KZ but ma

This
The empty stadium next Fall will send the message to Keli and Tate.

Man " F" Kelly and Tate

Can someone please tell me how to cancel my subscription

 

[noble106]

That just about confirms Schiano's stay is $$$ related then. Would be interested in seeing evidence saying otherwise.

What a disaster

[sct1111]

Here's the thing. Greg was the primary person brining in the boosters before Keli got here. His own people are of course going to refuse to buy him out. Keli has done a great job raising NIL but until we find boosters that support HER specifically, Greg is sort of in control.

 

[StickPonyz]

Show your work.

The cost for the entire staff to be dismissed would have been close to $28 million. Look at the news article. You probably get some offset with folks finding a new job and the way deals are structured.

 

[Knight Shift]

This
Arse Clowns like Al say it’s because of Schiano’s proven record and Coaching ability. Complete BS. He is only here because one of the worst Contract extensions given in College Football history by an unqualified AD. It is only because of money.

Why do you pay him any mind? You sound just as ridiculous debating his lunacy.

 

[Knight Shift]

Zinn just found out that Schiano runs the show. He'll keep whoever he wants on staff and will be happy when she resigns.

This post is without any basis and sounds ill-informed.

 

[LotusAggressor_rivals]

The only hope the football program has for next season is to land about 5 difference makers on defense and a top end QB in the portal. Don’t see it happening.

The trouble is that this staff would coach all the difference making out of them and would turn that top end QB into an interception machine.

What a moronic bigoted post!!!

It's champing at the bit, and your post is silly.

You don't give either, so sit down and shut up.

Another azzwipe put on ignore.
