Rutgers football

[CONN78SEJ]

Watching the Wisconsin Rutgers replay right now, and enjoying every minute. Schiano doesn’t have a clue. Wisconsin is mopping the floor with Schiano’s team.

And, btw, we’d give our right arm to be as good as they are, a leg to have a coach as competent as shady and a nut to be in the conference they’re in. Otherwise, good narrative.

Schiano has gotten a lot of mileage for just one signature victory in his time a Rutgers. He's not a good coach.

 

[Pudge]

In 2004, they weren't even getting 20,000, now they have something special. We got sellouts for years.

On the field, they look like they are turning the corner one week; and then they are stomped on by a team that isn't top 10. Yes. I don't think Schiano has more to give. They may make a bowl; but, they cannot rise in their current template.

You think Schiano’s a good coach??? You can give both nuts and your short leg, it’s still not going to make him a good coach. I think you might be taken in by him always focused on his stupid clipboard and not what’s happening on the field.

Who’ve we had that you’d put above shady

 

[Palatine]

Rutgers is Rutgers.

 

[ZooCougar]

Didn’t they give Schiano the use of a private jet this time around?

Edsall 1.0 for sure, as a matter of fact Uconn vs Rutgers from 2001 to 2013 is tied 6-6, yet early on Uconn had just made the transition from FCS to FBS. He out coached Schiano with what he had to work with.

 

[ruthetiger]

Well as much as it pisses me off. This is gonna take time. The program will get better. Not that anyone actually would understand or want to buuuuuuuut. ....

 

[dvegas]

Rutgers is Rutgers.

or Rutgirls. or Sucktgers.

Yeah, to get out fast for his next interview.

 

[Husky1010]

Rutgers is in the Big Ten and is one win away from going to a bowl game in year 2 under the schiano rebuild. They are doing just fine.

They haven’t beaten a team with a winning record

 

[Travelman6]

I would trade the Fiesta bowl appearance and that whole season for a 24-58 record with one bowl appearance in the B10 over a 7-year span any day of the week without thinking for even a second. I would trade that 59-40 stretch from 2003 to 2010 for a 1/4th of those wins in the B10.

I'd rather be 24-58 in the B10 than 58-24 as an independent for the next 7 years....

They got the golden ticket. That's it.

(*not counting 5-5 this year)

 

[Bomber36]

Neither have we….I’d take 5-5 against a slate of losers any day.

 

[hinson32]

With all due respect to the fine folks here, Rutgers is 5-5 playing the BIG East. Schiano is doing well in year 2. Recruiting looks good as well.

Their only convincing win in conference was against 2-8 Indiana. Wins over Delaware and Temple shouldn’t count. They’re terrible, Schiano could be jettisoned soon IMO.

 

[UConnJim]

Schiano did what Edsall 2.0 did not - he used the transfer portal. On the 2 deep on offense, there are 4 transfer starters and 3 backups. On defense, there are 4 transfer starters and 1 backup.

You forgot: Snookie!

They’re certainly paying him well, $32M over eight years. Knowing that I don’t think they would can him and eat that contract.

I’m confused - didn’t you just say a few posts back that “Schiano could be jettisoned soon”?

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

Who would you rather have as your coach right now....schiano or Mora?

Hard to compare since Mora hasn't coached in a few years...but I still would take Mora.

Schiano - he knows how to recruit the area and was able to turn around a program that was in the dumpster for decades.

 

[ZooCougar]

I’d take Mora. Schiano is the most overrated coach in history.
