I’m Granting Greg Schiano a Mulligan for 2026

I’m missed the explanation for the losses to UMass and BC.
FFS, we lost to UMass. There are high schools in NJ that could give them a game.
Hahahahahaha - he wants to be a mod so bad.

It’s going to be tough because our coaching staff, players, facilities, money, donors, weather, and anything relevant are vastly inferior to theirs.
Al, I actually think that I understand what you are trying to say....which is why waste money on a new coach if we dont have the resources. What you seem to be missing is that RU will be very unlikely to raise significant NIL with Schiano here at this point. Most people have lost complete faith in him and he's pretty much over stayed his run at RU. Very difficult to motivate people or businesses to donate to something they dont believe in. At least a change brings new hope.

Yes, You’re better off asking this
There’s nothing he doesn’t know.
Im sorry Al, but your post is insane. There is no justification nor excuse for losing to UMass and BC. Greg no longer has it. He must go.
I was hoping he could tread water around .500 for the next few years before riding off into the sunset and us having the resources, but this is horrific. This is worse than Ash.
Do you realize what a coaching change means?
it means we lose roughly at least 55 scholarships kids, perhaps more. This would be a disaster, because our fanbase sure ain’t reaching into their pockets to replace them. When it comes to opening their wallet, the fanbase is all talk. It is more prudent to develop the kids we have this year, especially the quarterbacks, and then hit the portal hard, especially for a set of Offensive Tackles and Defensive Ends.
The QB play sucked. The OLine sucked. The DLine sucked. The rest of the defense sucked. The game plan sucked. The preparation sucked. Basically, everything sucked except for Duff. Sorry, in year 6, you can’t be losing to the worst team in the MAC and the worst team in the ACC.
I’m not a Schiano hater, but there has to be accountability not excuses.
You’re not wrong, but quarterback play was the absolute dagger to the heart. Can’t recover from 5 turnovers unless your opponent turned it over 6 times.
You're making a leap of faith that any significant snd developmental talent will stay at RU after a catastrophic season and not run away and grab a bag of cash and/or opportunity elsewhere and that includes the QBs.
Also, at what point do you rip the band aid off? One way or another, Schiano is eventually gone so you are just kicking the can down the road for the same issue you just outlined.
Not sure what you are afraid of, we are essentially looking at an Ash type season this year. Better to get started with ne faces and hope than to ever cling to the mediocre to bad results.
He wants Greg to be his forever coach, that's why he makes every excuse in the book for him.
Would you shut up already? We ran for 30 yards total against a program that hadn’t won a game in like 2 years. There’s no one thing that’s to blame. We just suck and the OL looks really really bad which reflects directly on the head coach’ decision to make a change. Losing to UMass was not NIL. And BC isn’t much better.
There are no mulligans to go around here. This is looking to be VERY different even than the basketball team winning 14 or so games. If Greg was on track for 5-7 this talk would be more tempered. He’s going to be lucky to beat Howard at this rate. Vegas odds surely say we are headed towards a winless FBS season.
Start your own thread and you can say and read whatever you want. The line looked a lot better against BC, which is why Antwan Raymond rushed for 134 yards, averaging 5 yards a carry. Basketball season was awful. Football season is similarly awful. Schiano deserves an opportunity to run it back, just like what Pike got with suitable NIL. I’m issuing mulligans and you can do whatever you want. Furthermore, every game after Indiana is winnable.
How?
If we are so far behind in money that we can't compete with UMass and BC, that we have to bargin bin shop for players (your words) - how can we "turn this around in a hurry"?
Who cares if 50+ players leave?
They were bargin bin players (your words) that couldn't even compete with UMass and BC.
Huh??? We spent plenty of money on football. NIL explains losses to OSU. It doesn’t explain UMass or BC. We spent more on our roster than both id them combined. A lot more. You can’t lose games like that in football when there are only 12 games in total. We’re going to have a 1-11 season if we find a way to beat Howard. If Greg was tracking towards 5-7 I would not be pushing for change. But that’s not what’s going on.
And while the line was worse at UMass, it still wasn’t good at all at BC. Much worse than last year.
Your as wrong in starting this thread as you were in the one where you had GW pegged to win the Heisman. How’d that one turn out? It truly seems your in this to get attention. There is no reason at all where Schiano should get a pass for winning under 3 games on a season.

Think most were willing to accept a middling program under Greg for the rest of his contract.
This program is now an embarrassment and national laughingstock.
I think Al may be the only person in the world who wants Greg on the sidelines in 2027. It’s insane.
That’s ppl who don’t think we have the money to fire him ! No one believes he deserves to be here or earned the right to finish the season
Don’t plan on tailgating with him. He scares girls so a number have said he’s not welcome. True story
Losing 50 players from this program is part of what will make it better.
I care if 50+ players leave, because we don’t have the NIL to replace them. Are you going to write the check? People have been posting a need of $30M, which is probably ballpark. That’s a 1,000 people x $30K. Do we have that?
Of course not, so stop with these delusions. Do you remember the 1996 team, how awful that was? That is probably what we’re looking at, if we blow this up. There won’t be adequate support to replace the players we lose.
Similar to how basketball was able to get better players next year, Kelli is raising more NIL money for next year for football. So football should be able to get better players next year from the portal. Also, there is a learning curve to managing the portal, which is why we didn’t fare so well. Lastly, the kids are getting better. Bradlee Jones played much much against BC than against UMass. The kids we got this year, will be acclimating to this level of play and be ready to go next year. We don’t recruit players, we develop them.
so keeping things status quo will allow us to be focused, and address primary needs. TE, LT, RT, 2 DEs, and a CB should be our first priority. QBs will be a year better. Next go round in the portal we have to take fewer, better players.
You need to learn the difference between operational expense, capital expense, and NIL. We are overspending in OPEX, because our CAPEX and NIL are very poor. So it is taking more effort to land players.
GW beat VT, MSU, MD and Miami. Thats good enough. Not every kid is going to live up to expectations.
Schiano should get a pass due to the extraordinary circumstances this year. Losing a significant amount of talent to graduation and the transfer portal, and not having enough NIL to replace it, has placed us in a difficult position.
Schiano should be brought back no matter what. The AD just lost $78M last year. There’s no money for buyouts, unless someone steps up, which we know isn’t going to happen. Plus there isn’t enough NIL to replace the roster, unless people step up, which we also know isn’t going to happen. The most prudent thing to do is run it back.
Al telling people there’s no money for buyouts is comical. He has no idea what Tate & Zinn may have done to raise funds to cover these expenses. But keep droning on like your an AD insider when they don’t even know your name. 
He says anything that makes him feel better. When he gets called on it, he starts to blame something else. How do you blame the QB play for a team that is the #131 rushing team in FBS? Our two opponents combined for a 2-22 record last season. We averaged 3.8 yards per carry against Boston College who has the #125 Rushing Defense in FBS. Yeah, let's blame the QB!!!!!! I'd rather talk football with my 7 year old grandson because he already understands winning games starts with winning the LOS. It is not a coincidence that Schiano's first winning season at RU was the year he hired Kyle Flood as the OL coach, who coached some of the best lines I've seen here. Schiano's record at RU is 56-33 with Flood as his OL Coach and 43-77 without Flood. He's had 1 losing season with Flood as the OL coach and 2 winning seasons without him.Al telling people there’s no money for buyouts is comical.

OP do you smoke crack? Have you ever run an organization or business. Doubt it. The results are dismal and speak for thmeselves.
OP

The Poll was should be fired right NOW. Wait until Season’s end and do the Poll…. my guess there would be less than 5% saying he shouldn’t be terminated. And most of those would probably be clones of clueless Al.

All you’re capable of doing is recycling BS. Tell me how much they raised for the buyouts.
The Rutgers AD Lost $78M last year, and you think they have money for buyouts! HA! Real
stuff, but par the course for you. I have an analytical mind which you lack.Analytical mindAll you’re capable of doing is recycling BS. Tell me how much they raised for the buyouts.

when that useless, clueless chop clown is fired I look forward to the weapons-grade BS you spew! Maybe you should get going on a new emo song. I’ve read you can cringe-out with the best of them!Schiano will be gone…START COPING NOW!
