Um what BCS bowl did Rutgers play in... I must have missed that game.

We deserved that Fiesta Bowl and I refuse to apologize for playing in a game we earned.

The simple rebuttal to that is when did we ever finished ranked?

Rutgers and UConn football are way more similar than either fan base can bring themselves to admit. We both have had some success (UConn 2 BE Titles / Rutgers 1 BE Title, final ranking of 12), we've both had some awful seasons and unfortunately they've beat us head to head a lot.

For whatever reason, Rutgers has always had more hype around the program, possibly due to Schiano, proximity to NYC, style of play, whereas at UConn we've just been a consistent, hard nose program.

None of that changes the fact they were invited to BIG because of their states population, but ifwe hire the guy that took them to this perception I think it better positions UConn to succeed and get out of the AAC.

Or people can be closed minded CT idiots and simply say Rutgers sucks, NJ smells LOL!
 
Let's not forget that Schiano's recruiting was greatly aided by the fact that his school resided in a fertile recruiting ground.
 
Schiano is done in Tampa unless Glennon turns into Tom Brady yesterday. The team is in damn near full revolt mode and the stadium is damn near empty. Hey Bellichek flopped big his first NFL Gig as well, so I wouldn't hold this failure against him. I think Edsall would be a better NFL coach than Schiano.

Schiano is going to crash so hard he might not ever get another head coaching job. Everyone here saw this coming when he got hired, even RutgersAl was probably wondering what the heck TB was thinking. Rutgers has certainly improved without him, which many here called as well.

Ah - even the link as the blocked word. In essence:

>>The sun came up today, and that means that the garbage fire that is the 2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers got even hotter and more garbage-y. What's new today? Allow The MMQB's Andrew Brandt to tell you about "Schiano Men."

In speaking with agents of several Bucs players recently, I have sensed a common theme: There is an atmosphere of fear and distrust under the current regime in Tampa. Players have told their agents about coaches roaming through the locker room (typically the players’ sanctuary away from coaches) and staff videotaping players on the sidelines during losses to single out players laughing or horsing around. The players also speak to the influx of multiple Rutgers players from Schiano’s past and the use of the phrase “Schiano Men,” a term that clearly does not apply to Freeman.<<
 
Thanks. Went to deadspin and read it. baggage!!!! Now watch him end up our coach. Please not, Lord please.
 
You really can't compare FBS/NFL experience as a predictor of success in one or the other.

Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Steve Spurrier, Bobby Petrino etc. are all guys that did poorly in the NFL but have won BCS Games at the college level.

Does Schiano have even half the resume these guys do? No.

Just consider he was taking over Rutgers and not Bama, USC, Florida and to a way lesserr extent, but even Louisville.

The one thing that separates Schiano from the other potential candidates is that he has taken a rebuilding job, at a comparable school and turned it around.

If it's that or a MAC coach I'm taking the guy with Big East and NFL experience. And before you say that's Coach P too, the difference between the two situations has parallels by couldn't be more different.
 
You guys might want to find out who your boy Burton has decided will be the next coach... then work from there.

This is where you and I differ. My cynicism ended Monday morning, apparently that is when yours began.

Ya know...when I read the recommendation about TOB, I quickly discarded the idea and moved on. I mean seriously....we just got rid of an older coach on the decline who was fired from his previous job and we are going to bring in another fossil? Not gonna happen.

But..it made me think about Jeff Jagodzinski. Remember the big splash he made at BC after TOB left? He was a good recruiter...ran an interesting offense and was the darling of the head coaching world. So I did a wiki look up...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Jagodzinski

What an odd career. We all know what happened at BC..getting fired after interviewing for a job with the Jets. You probably know that he was fired as OC in training camp by the Bucs in 2009 before the season started (because he couldn't communicate plays in a timely manner?)...but in January 2011, he was replaced as head coach of UFL team Omaha Nighthawks...after one season..by the CEO from TD Ameritrade, Joe Moglia? Then he was the wide receivers coach at Ave Maria University? What is that?

Now he is the OC at Georgia State University. No idea how he is doing...nor am I saying UConn should look at him...just thought his career path was interesting.
Expand ...

Just made me think what ever happened to Mich Bounoguoro? Spelling off I'm sure but he was in the running for Perno's job. We did well choosing that one. We should look for a similer type personality for our next football coach that we found in JC. Maybe it's TJ. We'll see. We definitely need a fighter and we didn't have that.

The difference I see between the two is that P was far more successful at Syracuse then Schiano was at Rutgers and P's NFL experience didn't go down in flames the way Schiano's is about to. Schiano is a dirty rotten scoundrel and a low basketball IQ coach. I was never impressed with what he did at Rutgers and they have improved without him.

An emphatic no way in hell to Schiano. Don't let Tampa Bay's dumb ass mistake turn into ours.

You were never impressed with what Schiano did at Rutgers?

He only took one of the worst football programs in America and turned around their culture and made them relevant in NJ and NYC.

I'm just curious as to everyone what thinks we're getting here?

Schiano is a name, still young and likely still would have good recruiting relationships with NJ programs.

I get it now, you want a name, I want a coach. Right now Schiano's name is mud.

No I was never impressed with Schiano, I thought he was a terrible game day coach and most of his wins were against lousy competition.

BTW Schiano had an awful 8-13 conference record his last three years at Rutgers. His overall conference record at Rutgers 28-48. Only at Rutgers is 28 - 48 considered a success.

I say we pin one and go from there because it's not going away for a few months.

yeah im definetly not on here 24/7 nor do I read every page. So I definetly wouldn't have known if it was posted 1,004,885,000 times. This site sucks. To many people talk way to much crap. And jump on to many people way to fast. Ive talked to plenty of boneyarders at games and they all say the same thing "to many people in there are to negative or talk to much crap that they don't bother to post." Wish the internet tough guys would stop being just that. Or be an internet tough guy in person not behind a keyboard in your moms basement.

There has certainly been a cloud of negativity on the Football board over last year or so (Since I joined) and I assume is was there for about 18 month prior to that, with pockets of mild optimism inter-disbursed (I.e. National signing day).

No that the clouds have sort of cleared, I'd expect the Boneyard to be marginally cheerier.

We finished 25th in 2007 in the BCS rankings. Rutgers highest ranking 16 in 2006. When did Rutgers ever finish anywhere that matters? Honestly... and yet their recruting classes were, on paper far and away better year in and year out. Schiano always has been overrated. He took a dumpster fire and managed to put it out... *slow clap*

Not without some negatives, but I think you would have to look at that seriously. His record is very good. He needs a good Blaney type, but you can get that.

His record is NOT very good! He has coached 76 Big East games and only won 28!

Greg Schiano, I know he is like public enemy #1. I just read a story that hes probably getting fired from the Bucs and he would definetly be open to coming back to college. What the guy did for Rutgers was pretty damn good. He took a terrible team and started recruiting the hell out of Rutgers. Brought them in great class after great class. He develops players. I Would be all for it. If he loses hiss jack ass ways of trying to hurt people or just being the he is. But the guy can recruit and he can definetly coach on the college level. The article I read made it seem like he would definetly love to come back to the Northeast to. Or how about Eric "Mangenius" Mangini?
Expand ...

I don't want Mangini... Schiano neither, BUT.... he can recruit his tail off.. Question is, would he take the UCONN job if offered?
