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

People have already decided if they like Greg or not so I realize this is a waste of time but....

The immediate predecessor to GS 1 was Terry Shea - whose 5 year record was 11-44 at .200 winning %. (4-18 in the last 2 years)
The immediate predecessor to GS was Chris Ash - whose 4 year record was 8-32. a .200 winning % (3-21 in the last 2 years).

I personally think that it is amazing what GS 1 and GS 2 did with a cupboard that was completely bare, a program with no positive history whatsoever, extremely limited facilities, money, fan support, etc.

I'd love to see him carry this thing forward over the next decade. I think that he can help this team to build on its recent achievements like beating Miami, Washington, Minnesota (none ever done before), establishing dominance over old BE rivals like Boston College, Va Tech and Syracuse, and building us into a respected, .500 level team. I think he can take us higher now that we have some semblance of facilities, positive recent history and financial support (although a lot less than many of our competitors).

I'd prefer not to return to the Terry Shea and Chris Ash years and the embarrassment that was Rutgers football.

Given what GS has done versus what others have done, I'll take my chances with GS.

what a f***ing moron the OP is. All he knows how to do is piss all over the RU football program no matter what it is. What percentage of those losses should be attributable to the teams brought in by his predecessor. I'd say at least a third
Not last night! Schiano Sucks

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.
Wrong! You are banned from posting after Greggys performance last night. Every point you make was blown out of the water by U Fing Mass

The circle jerk ( offs) continue.
Hope you are doing OK. Wonder what your thoughts are after last night.
We haven’t had similar resources EVER!!
We have always been the poor kid with holes in his shoes. Sometimes for good reasons (academics) and sometimes for bad (Hobbs). Schiano has been the one guy who DID more with much less!
Does UMass have more resources than Rutgers? How you going to spin this one?

Rutgers had more resources than the other schools in the old watered down BE and AAC. He still never won anything.

Brian Kelly ate his lunch routinely with misfits.

I am not a GS fan and would love to see us move on now that he got us back to respectability. But- I am not sure there is a single coach that had to literally take the worst team twice. And very difficult to debate that that Shea team Greg took over wasn't the worst and same to be said about the Ash team. And Greg did it twice.
We're not respectable anymore. Hurts to say it.

Greg and RU deserves to get blasted. But man, the same few people saying the same thing on every thread is boring hahaha. At least give a new spin on it. Can't tell if its trolling or they just dont think they're being heard the first time.

I wonder what that winning percentage is against teams that finished the season above .500?

What happened last night is net worse than Ash era for perception, I feel like. Ash was frog boiling in the pot. Last night was house explosion. We are back to 0, rock bottom

So where the loss to UMass fit in?

  1. "Most of those loses were to teams with more money/support"
  2. "Can't count some of those losses because he was rebuilding after failed HCs"
  3. "He hasnt lost a game as big favorite in 2.0 era"
  4. "He has won all OCC regular season games in 2.0 era"
  5. "We're not a national laughing stock anymore"

I'm still trying to read through all the excuses but I think that covers most of them?

The spin is easy….maybe RU should rethink its commitment to the corrupt, inhumane, predatory, greedy, immoral, silly side hustle that is now totally unrelated to the school. Maybe we should stick to amateur, student athletes.

Like Pikiell, because you're better than those who you followed doesn't mean you're good. I was OK with GS but the UMASS game did it for me. A loss to BC and find the money.

Don’t forget though that Bielema attempted the absurd 58 yarder into a 30mph wind in the first place which went 25 yards. So he’s a mental midget too who was fortunate to be on the opposite sideline from a coach who surpasses his stupidity x1000.
It went way more than 25 yards and they did win that game. I think JMike was to blame for us losing that game. You're a pathetic nutcase.

I think Cuban's NIL influx had a little more to do with their success.
you need to look at his roster the first year where he made the playoffs. He did it no 4 and 5 stars and roster of JMU and lower level players. The guy is a great coach and has been successful everywhere he has been. He's a legit unicorn

no doubt NIL helped but they are not anywhere near as good, despite the NIL, with someone else. I really believe that.

He lost 1 game while at IU without Cuban's money. He's lost zero games so far with Cuban's money. Guy is a winner and has won everywhere he's ever been. I don't know why people can't admit the obvious. The guy would win at Rutgers or anywhere else.
