Greg extension poll lifted from Round Table, thank you RAC93
- Thread starter RUTGERS95
- Start date
I’d love to hear the rationale behind extending him when the program is stagnant and he still has three years left. Not firing him because of the buyout, more nil maybe coming, etc wouldn’t be my choice but is at least somewhat defensible. Can’t find a case for an extension
Greg gets some incredible excuses by the schianoites. Will be curious to see how this breaks on this board given we see less of that nonsense vs the round table.
Yep, Schiano’s talent for losing all stems from the Louisiana Purchase. That vast new US territory became home to many of current Big10, SEC and B12 schools which triple the competition for adequate recruits. He is forever behind the 8 ball due to that. And also due to Joe Biden.
He deserves the job until he passes, and full salary in perpetuity to his heirs recognizing the futility of his steadfastly trying to win but not delivering given the impossibility of it.
Being a lousy coach as some argue couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s a great coach, just at losing.

You need to give credit to the originator of the poll on the Round Table.
No extension, his contract has 3 more years to go after this season.
A 6-6 season or worse should be reason to replace him.
7-5 would mean "very hot seat in 2027
8-4 would be acceptable.
9-3 should just have a bonus added on if he repeats that in 2027.
10-2 would have rollover clause added would extend his contract an extra year if he repeats it in 2027
11-1 means auto 1 year rollover
12-0 would get my extension vote

Disagree with Richard that it's a "narrative" - it's just pointing out how it is. Didn't do him much good in the end, but I'll give James Franklin a little credit for checking himself after PSU lost to Oregon last year: he briefly called the PSU big game struggles a narrative too, before he acknowledged that nope, they were a plain fact. Same with us. We're a mediocre program right now. I'm more pro-GS in general than some in this thread, but if he can't get us off the 5-7/6-6 treadmill, his time here is going to end like Franklin's at PSU did.
(Editing to add: might be clear already from what I posted, but I voted No.)
I honestly don't think it's that weak. I don't think we have a sure BIG win there although, Northwestern is the one I'd bet on us
