We will follow Nick Saban’s lead. Make Al the first of 43 special analysts on the Rutgers football staff. Greg could replace Saban as the Father Flanagan of confused and under-estimated past their prime college football lifers looking for a twilight gig.

From Golden's Wikipedia page on his tenure as DC at Virginia:
From 2001 to 2004, the Cavaliers' defense improved under his tutelage, ranking 108th in total defense in his first year to ranking 18th in total defense in 2004. In the same time period, Virginia's scoring defense went from 74th in the nation (27.6 ppg) to 17th (17.7 ppg) utilizing Golden's 3–4 defense.

I work want him here as a coach.
Some wanted him for HC.
Maybe he wasn't a fit for Miami or NFL doesn't mean he's not decent college coach in Northeast

Just read Al golden was let go be Detroit... is he our new DC?

I'd take him in a heartbeat! The guy is a great defensive coach, and knows how to recruit the hell out of NJ...and has a TON of contacts in the NJ parochial schools in both North and South Jersey.

Sign me up in a heartbeat IF we can't get Anthony Camp.

But I bet he ends up at Boston College.

We sometimes forget there are those who don't know how Golden and a member of his staff unethically screwed Greg and Rutgers. If it were me I wouldn't hire him to sweep the concourse around the stadium unless he agreed to do it with his tongue.
How about with his tie with sweat pouring off him?

While we are picking up NFL fired coaches,
Bring in Adam gase or Pat Shurmer as OC.
They do not have to pay relocation money.

I had forgotten about this. Didn’t it involve D’Onofrio joining his staff as DC?

This is why I laugh when so called diehard Rutgers fans mention Al Golden in the same sentence as Schiano. Can't be that in tune with Rutgers football if you don't recall the crap that went down.

I know Al and he would be a valuable addition to RU.

I am wondering if the "U" paid him his contract or is his lawsuit for the $ 2+ million owed still active ?

Not sure why fans wouldn't want Al as an assistant. Guy has a wealth of experience in the NFL and college plus he's an excellent recruiter.

Don't know what you're alluding to. Expound please.

I believe that the allegation has to do with negative recruiting vs RU when Golden was at Temple.

Someone needs to be fitted for big boy pants.

do you think Schiano wasn’t negative recruiting Rutgers when he was at OSU? Come on man! It goes with the territory. I would argue that adding Golden would be a stronger move than adding Campanile, though I’d be happy with Campanile.
