Did I miss something. Why is only about defense. I want Ciarocca gone. Don’t care what the offense has accomplished he’s terrible and only mold good because they brought in playmakers that the defense doesn’t have

Looking back I probably should've included offense as well, but the defense is the major issue with the team right now, not the offense.

Greg should come back in 2027. Most successful coach in program history in modern era combined with a massive buyout for a department that has lost close to a half billion dollars in the last decade and has minimal alumni support.

Greg will get this fixed and back to bowling again. We must also have fiscal discipline.

Given the University President's comments regarding fiscal responsibility and not having an annual $100 million donor group for Rutgers Football and Basketball, I would feel comfortable roughing it for another year with Greg to see what he can do in a fresh year with a healthy/experienced QB.

Greg needs to leverage his big name, successful NFL players as a recruiting tool with Top Tier Power 5 Program options to come play right away at Rutgers.

Of course, Greg would need to make some personnel and budget changes. Perhaps have less coaches - double duty.
Now I am ready for the hate responses.

The offensive side of the ball is just as guilty as the defensive. They underperformed more-so in the first 2 games. Especially with the talent disparity they had. Kirk shouldn’t get a pass. Especially considering he had the luxury of tenure.

This is not a Hate response.

Greg had a healthy and experienced QB last year. The QB was good enough to make an NFL roster. Rutgers statistically had its best offense in a decade. And yet Rutgers still could not make a Bowl game or beat any Big Ten Team with a winning record. The 2 Big Ten wins came against the 2 worst Big Ten teams of 2025. Greg celebrated the Purdue win as if Rutgers won a Super Bowl. It looked insane.

There is literally nothing you can point to in the past 6.5 years that indicates any hope whatsoever that Greg can achieve anything better than a Pinstripe Bowl with a 6 wins season. That should not be the goal of the program or its fanbase.

When is Enough Enough? You as a Rutgers fan deserve better. No Admin. or fanbase across the major college football landscape would put up with the results of the past 6.5 years. It's awful and waiting another year is wasting time and more resources.

Beg to differ. We have a top 10 WR and RB and the offense is underperforming had it down better we could have out scored UMass and BC and we’d be 3-2 not 1-4

Here's what I wrote:

The school can't afford better coaching options. The AD knows this which is why Schiano hasn't been fired and the fanbase looks worse than RutgersAl for constantly claiming that his firing will be "tomorrow morning."

RU had enough talent to be 9-3 in 2024 and 8-4 last year. At least 6 losses from 2024 until the current point in this season can be blamed on poor decision making, poor preparation, and inadequate in game coaching.

Just stop the narrative Greg is the only coach who can win at Rutgers. Is he winning at Rutgers?

Worst excuses out there. We can't afford anyone good. Only Schiano is able to win at Rutgers. No Coach would accept the Rutgers job. On and On and On. That segment of the fanbase, and it is shrinking, is literally living in a 2006 Time Capsule.

How many coaches have you seen that :

Stopped catching all punts because math said it was risky?
Tackled QBs on last second kneel downs?
Called TO with 40 seconds to go in 1st half and up 50 point and getting QB inured because of it?
Can't score ordinary TDs in red zone ("dead zone" for RU) over three decades and even opponents mention how odd it is?

GS is not stupid or a bad coach - he's just weird about some things (Asperger's?). Maybe someone could get to him with an intervention. I've seen ADs tell coaches they want a new offense (Army in the 90s)

In my survey I got to rant at length about how all our issues lead back to Greg and how it’s time for a change. A little light reading for Richie that was cathartic for me.
