With more NIL Support, Schiano will fix it

You have no clue, buddy. I donate a hell of a lot of money. If everyone did as much as I did, we’d be national champions.
You give nothing to football, and don’t go to games, so you can STFU and sit down. I don’t think you can even name a player on the team.
I already gave more money than you ever will in your life. The only reason people know who you are is because you got barred from official functions because of the creepy Higgins video you made. That is in addition to being barred from certain tailgates for scaring women. You’re one creepy dude Tootsie Roll
I highly doubt that. I belong to the best tailgate at Rutgers. No one is inviting you to any tailgates because you’re too big an Ahole.
Why does he need to go to games? The whole reason we get $80 million+ a year from our media contract is because a lot more people watch on TV then go to the games.
He lashes out when he can't continue to defend his swiss cheese positions.
He shouldn’t be accusing anyone of not doing enough when he does nothing. He’s just here to troll us because he hates Schiano.
The irony of you telling others not to accuse others.
I don’t know what he or you do, but I do know that at least 90% of the fanbase hates Schiano right now and wants him gone.
In Al’s defense (how many handles do you have on this board?), he’s being attacked from all sides, so he’s firing back aimlessly.
Al, People don’t want to support a loser. It’s that simple. I’d argue that Rutgers has the best fans in college football. Given the historically pathetic performance of this program, it’s a miracle we can still out 25-30K in the stadium on any given night.
The fan base was so excited for the season of two years ago; then last year. Shitting the bed then destroyed everyone’s confidence in Greg. People are tired of the same excuses. They simply choose to spend their money elsewhere. It’s not complicated. Greg had his chance. And blew it big time. At no other university would he be given such a long leash.

He’s used minimum 2 (more than likely 4)in this thread alone.
This is what you’re missing. Our capital expense is much lower than peers, and this is what affects the caliber of kid we can recruit. Northwestern literally just spent $1B on facilities. USC just opened up a brand new facility. Every other Big Ten school has a really nice football facility. Maryland spent roughly $300M on theirs. Even Oregon, who has spared no expense, is also building a brand new facility, in spite of having a facility that is much better than ours. Michigan has two football facilities, which make Rutgers look like Amateur hour. An auxiliary and a Main.
I do enough to have the AD’s mobile phone numbers. DeadbeatAl considers his one parking pass and one season ticket as a “donation”. He doesn’t do anything which is the irony in all of his whining. Mid level tech guy who makes no money so I do not blame him for not being a player, but he should just stfu because of it. As to his love of a loser coach, it’s beyond bizarre at this point.
Show Umass’s facilities and “capital expenses”. Then show Michigans spend on staff and operations.
No you don’t and NOBODY likes you anymore. You have become a full of *****, Schiano sack-sucking, arrogant, makes-*****-up to fit his own narrative, *******.
It’s really a shame because you weren’t this bad in the past.
Meanwhile coaches are on record that recruits only care about how much they are getting paid now and it's easier to recruit because of it. But Al continues to push a narrative that's a decade behind the times.
Correction. The fan base doesn’t love bad football.
The 2006 season with 1 marquee win with no conference title and a crappy bowl literally by itself tripled and maybe even quadrupled revenue and led to a 10,000 fan waiting list for tickets.
One season that most fan bases experience at least once every 5 years if not more. Can you imagine if we had won 1-2 conference titles in 2006, 2008, 2011, 2012? Got to a couple big time bowls? Can you imagine if we had another 2006 in 2008 and 2011 instead it sh-tting the bed both seasons?
You just don’t understand.
He just sees all of this stuff as random events that nobody has any control over.
‘The QB got injured’ he says as if something beyond anybody’s control happened. No, the QB dove head first in a situation where the risk/reward profile by no means warranted it as it was 2nd and 8 in the first drive of the game.
As you pointed out, kicking to Dejean.
Calling the time out vs Illinois.
Not challenging the goal line play against Nebraska and then that same game, waiting way too long to make an adjustment on offense.
UCLA game, waiting way too long to open up the offense.
And he he keeps making it sound like Lonergan came into the season not being a known commodity and acting like the interceptions are because he’s a young, inexperienced QB. No, Lonergan had just 5 INTs last year and our coaching staff is responsible for his performance this season relative to how he played last season. If not, who else owns it?
It’s true that he is able to at least be in some games with a chance to win but the difference in resources between Ash and Schiano is VAST so we need to stop talking about Ash. He never had a chance, not only due to his own talent gaps, but based upon what he took over and I’m not just talking about a bad football program like GS took over 2x, but one that had kicked out a lot of starters that could not be replaced during the pre-portal era, had reduced scholarships and a very small budget. There were no 1-2 million dollar coordinators.
Being in close games is better than being blown out, but the issue that much of the fan base has is that he simply cannot win close games against teams that aren’t bad. ‘Not winning every close game’ isn’t the complaint and you know it. It’s losing all of them versus good teams.
And if Rutgers beats Michigan, somehow this group of players that he says is terrible can run the table.
I don’t think he understands just how BAD the Rutgers job was after Flood was fired. It’s completely disingenuous to use that hire as evidence of anything. The job right now is many multiples more attractive.
I’m wondering how many of the other programs in that range spent over 2 million on one player. On the one hand I believe we had to bring Duff back but on the other hand, I don’t believe with a 20 million dollar budget, we can afford a 2 million dollar player.
If Duff doesn’t play today, that’s almost 10% of our NIL budget on the bench.
But you wouldn’t acknowledge at the time that beyond any NIL factors that the DC search affected the results. Schiano, himself, just a few weeks ago said it did. Even HE isn’t following the ‘NIL Manifesto’.
What he won’t acknowledge is the art of stealing a game. We see it on TV every week and even see teams do it against Rutgers.
Putting a spy on BJ Daniels I believe it was and shutting USF out circa 2009 was a good coaching effort. The 2007 USF game was stealing a game with two trick plays. Of course Leavit wasn’t a very good coach and thus was subject to being out coached. Harder to do in the Big Ten.
Here is where I disagree.
I think Al will merely root for whoever is on the sidelines. It’s honorable. He’s not the one to make the decision and until that decision has been made, he’s deciding to stand up for said individual until the very end. Al is the kind of guy I want supporting me, should I ever be put into the meat grinder, through thick and thin.
No, he’s a troll who does it all for attention.
I used to think that. If you look at his pattern of posting lately when challenged with facts or the inconsistency of his previous positions he doesnt stay on point and debate, instead he either makes a subtle derogatory comment or changes to a different point to stir the pot. He talks himself up while denigrating others (i.e. donations to RU Football). He also is using at least 2 multiple screen names and there are valid suspicions that it could be at least 2-3 more. It pretty much smells of a troll at this point.
No one cares that you donated to lacrosse and zero to football. If it were up to me, I would shutdown lacrosse and invest the proceeds in football. No one cares about a sport which only attracts around 1300 fans. You’re only here to attack Schiano because Bob Mulcahy had the common sense to invest all the money in football, which was the right decision, and helped us get into the Big Ten.
I’ve done more for football in the last year than you’ve done in your lifetime, so you can GFY. Schiano doesn’t know who Caliknight is. But he knows who RutgersAl is.

Recruits care about everything. Northwestern just spent a billion dollars on facilities. USC, 300 Million. Oregon is spending another 300 million. We don’t have enough NIL and our facilities stink. So what exactly is the value proposition here?
Value proposition is the empty phrase you love to throw around when you can't really support your statements.
Facilities are a perk now, not a must have.
Players want to go to schools that pay them well and WIN.
Greg is taking Rutgers backwards at this point, he's not considered a quality coach at this point on the recruiting trail.
None of your bluster helps Rutgers win, it just keeps melting the polar ice caps.
Facilities are a proxy for a schools commitment to success, which is why the rest of the Big Ten has spent heavily to upgrade them. I love to throw value proposition around because it succinctly explains why Rutgers has trouble recruiting. NIL is primary but Facilities are important too.
Since you don’t have a historical perspective of Rutgers, you are clueless. Rutgers only started out recruiting Syracuse once we upgraded Hale Center. This resulted in our best class ever with Ray Rice, both McCourty’s, and many other solid players. Kenny Britt and Anthony Davis were recruited in subsequent classes, both First round draft picks. These improvements happened 20 years ago. Now we need a new facility and more NIL support. These will boost our recruiting.
Even from the outside, Marylands facility casts a positive impression. With more NIL, their next coach might turn around their situation in a hurry.

You two obviously can’t get enough of each other. Maybe get a hotel room or ride some horses up to the mountains and work out your differences. That would spare the rest of us of this nonsense.
