How much leverage does GS really have? He currently has no job and, besides RU, how many schools (or NFL teams) are chasing after him? He by no means, outside of New England I suppose, is a sought-after coach.
Greg Has "Significant" Demands
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
The problem is that we don't have anyone else in our AD that knows how to run a football program.
We'd instead be gambling that Butch- and personally I think more likely- some MAC flavor of the week- doesn't turn into Flood/Ash Part 3. And dig the hole even deeper.
At least Schiano will put the train back on the tracks. I don't trust Hobbs to do that with someone else who grew up in corn country.
Bingo. Thats the sort of thinking this program needs. if you expect a guy come in talk about restocking the snack bar, Hobbs shouldnt have fired Ash.
whats to say Butch or other top tier candidates won't have similar demands, especially knowing that Greg has asked for them.
Greg may ask for a $125 mil facility connected to the Hale center while Butch may ask for a football only smaller scoped facility that is $75 mil, replacing the bubble

Any coach that rutgers tries to get now that knows the big ten landscape is going to ask for some facilities demands and thats a given , however these coaches have to produce like urban Myer for sure . We not talking 7-5 records or lousy recruiting for 5yrs , they better recruit them 4 or 5 star Athletes like there life depends on it and we don’t care where they come from ...... Jersey or not and it explains why Urban Myer health issues kept coming up because you make demands you better produce and deliver something.
Is anyone denying that we need a field house? The bubble needs to go so I’m not sure why so many are freaking out. Let’s be honest, if Urban wanted the job and demanded the field house everyone would say give him what he wants/needs.

they cant agree to a 9 figure project on the spot. its also bargaining. you say "greg, we think youre the guy, and we hear you that that is what it takes. now let us go back and talk to our guys about how we can get this done". come back and "commit" to it as part of his renewal pending results and buying time. the old we cant give you more money but heres a perfomance based stip incentive
Urban Meyer has rings...NC rings. Schiano doesn't even have a BE ring.
that plan is so ten years ago when we were looking at moving the entire football facility over there and allow lacrosse and soccer to take over the Hale Center any plan that takes down or removes one of the two indoor facilities, we need an additional NEW indoor facility just for football while giving the bubble to Lacrosse, track and soccer
Hobbs must go!
I think Hobbs is very eager to build all facilities every time, the bigger, the be$$er. But, they have to be built by his gang. I think its his sole purpose. This is about getting contracts for the gang who brung him.

And that misses the point — we either need it or we don’t irrespective of the coach.

God it’s hard to be a Rutgers fan...what did this school do long ago to deserve this?!
He had the best facilities AND players money could buy last season at OSU. Worst defense in the history of the program. Guy is a complete joke. RU should move in an entirely different direction bc all your going to get is more losses and lots of excuses.
I get the practice facility, NO QUESTION, but why on Earth does he need The Hale Center rebuilt? SMDH
Who would feed this to the press?
- A pro-Schiano person would leak it knowing the significant percentage of the fanbase wants him. "Do you want us to re-hire Greg? Dig deep into your pockets because we can't hire him without your help".
- An anti-Schiano person would leak this to communicate "We can't afford him. Let's move on".
This is where Hobbs and the big boosters come in. Remember that the Rodkins have given the single largest donation to athletics at $ 15 million dollars. I would imagine that if Greg Brown is involved he is bringing these demands back to these mega boosters and saying, " we have to spend money to make money and bringing GS in will immediately increase revenue but he needs this to really compete. I fully in the camp that this decision will be made by Greg Brown and the Boosters.
Funny how the non Cult warned everyone. Now how bad do they want Schiano here? Prove it with their wallets.

If you recall my thread about me finally accepting the fact that we MAY need to bring him back here I am not exactly a Greg “cultist”
At this point that doesn’t matter. We start from now and what needs to be done going forward from now
Didn't word it the way I intended lol. Never meant to say you in particular were a cultist, on the contrary, you've been more level headed on the subject. Edited my original post.
This a negotiation by Greg. He is interested. He has no other head coach options.
They likely reach an agreement. Greg clearly interested.
@Knight Shift
I could see it as a way for both sides to save face really. GS...they didn't give me what I wanted so I didn't take it...RU...he's asking for too much we move on to the next candidate. I don't think it makes either side look bad or good...it's just kind of neutral.
Hi. How can I help you? Do you want fries with your burger? Thank you, please drive through.
Give him everything he wants. Seriously, everything. Time to get serious with making this a legit football program.
wait and see-problem is people always jump the gun and then blame others--and this telephone game never helps
He had these same demands 20 years ago and they were met. I do think RU needs to draw a line in the sand though and as much as I love GS. If he's being ridiculous, we move on.
Built the school on ancient Leni Lenape burial grounds.
don't be surprised if the facilities are in the contract but have a date next to them.
Something like if RU has not broken ground by Sep 1 2023 the buyout for greg is reduced to 25% of the bigger number in the contract. So if greg could buy his way out for $1m he would only have to pay 250k to leave.
This way both parties get what they want. He gets his facilities in the contract and RU gets time to see how things go and to get more B10 money coming in.

Sorry, sir. No egg on my face. I reported what I was told, and said that such information is always at risk of being wrong, like the Kyle Flood firing after the 2013 USF game.
You are angry because your man did not give you what you want, and you want to take it out on somebody.
It is hard to imagine that Greg Brown wasn't at the meeting, or at least kept in the loop about Schiano's demands during it.
Just hire Butch already. He'll build the entire indoor practice facility - with his bare hands.. Brick. By. Brick
