Greg has one of the lowest win percentages of any active coach
- Thread starter RUTGERS95
- Start date
That’s beyond pathetic but, hey, we recruit and graduate “Rutgers Men” so there’s that!!!
It's the power of the fieldhouse.Wait a second…..you mean…..COACHING MATTERS???!!!
Where’s Al to “spin” this one?
The funniest part is he actually had one beat (Illinois) and decided to ice the kicker going into a gale force wind and over 50 yards. Schiano beats himself constantly.
He lost me long before that, but it was then I knew he was bona fide coaching moron. The only thing worse than that call was the explanation post game. Didn't even have the guts to say he f'd up. I'm sure he lost the locker room that day. Would have most certainly lost me.
He lost a lot of people that season. No Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, or Oregon on the schedule and he couldn't manage to win 5 conference games. In addition to brain farting the team into defeat against Illinois, there was the inexcusable loss to a terrible UCLA team at home, the utter collapse against Kansas State in the bowl game, and getting boat raced by a mediocre Wisconsin team.
Look. None of this really matters. Either we find the money to replace Greg the right way or we don’t. This can’t be done on the cheap and Zinn knows it. She’s not stupid enough to act without being able to select the caliber coach she wants as she knows it won’t work in the long run. She can’t just hire an assistant and hope it pans out. Anyone established who is decent is going to require a big donor to step up. If the money were there it would’ve happened already. There’s no good answer really. Waiting out the year is an unpopular thought but if it means she is in a better financial position next year to hire a coach that might actually succeed then it’s not necessarily the wrong decision. I know that’s not what folks want to hear but money doesn’t exactly grow on trees and no qualified coach is coming to RU unless we can find money to pay that person a competitive salary. And that coach will also need to be assured of our NIL spend resources for players. If we can’t find the money to compete with these things, then we can’t “play ball”. Thats the bottom line.
Did anybody in the Big East in 2008 have more talent than Rutgers did?
answer it
I know it violates the ‘NIL manifesto’ but it’s not all about money. Schiano has had opportunities against programs in duress but nothing matters. He simply cannot win games.
UNC with like 10 starters suspended.
Interim coaches. Fired coordinators. Iowa with top 3 WRs out. Even when these opportunities come along, he just….can’t.
Agree and hyperbole isn’t needed to make the point. It’s all there while still being fair. No coach was going to win games in those seasons you cite.
Two things about 1.0. There were almost always 5 easy OOC games and of course the terrible 2010 season was a part of the last 4 seasons. Just a terrible team that year that was hard to reconcile in year 10 kind of like this year is hard to reconcile.in 1.0 it was .573 and 2.0 it's .449 (in 1.0 during this time, he had 11 players drafters...ouch)
this puts him in #8 worst and #3 worst respectively
He is an absolutely horrid coach inside the stadium.
it's ok to feel below
