LOL even the trooper looks gutted.
Bill Parcells had a name for that look - "book trout face."

Keli’s Face at Schiano’s Press Conference
- Thread starter Caliknight
- Start date
She thinking what the hell is this moron talking about.
Todd Knisley, Keli’s #2.
What is the football winning percentage of the top ten female AD's in the country. They'll spend more time watchin field hockey than football practice. I don't want a person who never played the game to be in charge of what I do.
Seems like she’s thinking - I wish we didn’t have to do this presser as there’s nothing good to come from it. It’s not because of what Greg said as if there’s something different he could’ve said to make it better.
The bottom line is we had no business beating Michigan (I don’t care if this is a mediocre version of them) with what we had at QB, and Duff so limited. Our D stinks and can’t win games for us (even against horrible teams) so we have no chance whatsoever featuring a QB with flat feet who can’t complete a pass. The situation we are in is ENTIRELY Greg’s fault. But in terms of the game this presser was held to discuss - the team did about as well as anyone could’ve reasonably expected so for the kids sake - the ones who played, I don’t really think it’s a big deal that Schiano said he was proud of them for their effort. Again, what should he say instead? We suck. Especially without DL. That’s the bottom line.

Keli is in a very untenable situation due to the toxic combination of Schiano’s coaching incompetence and Hobbs’ AD malpractice with that ridiculous extension. Throw in NJ media’s animosity towards RU football and budget issues, and I don’t envy her.
But she is paid well to make tough decisions and tough decisions need to be made.

Yes - but at this point she just needs to get through the season and then clean house. In the realm 28-21 going across the scoreboard isn’t an awful outcome for her. Greg needs to go regardless so it actually might make it easier that we lost. The only thing that could really hurt us at this point are the 78-0 style embarrassments or the Oregon debacle that make national news. Sadly, it won’t be such an easy task to “suck normal” the rest of the way but that’s about the best we can hope for in terms of our future. Even with a plan to move on, attention called to us as laughing stock is never good.
Agreed. This season is lost no matter what happens the rest of the way, and let it finish. I’m of the opinion that the day after the MI State game the decision needs to be made.
Given the Wild West of college football today, the right choice can produce almost immediate favorable results. See Indiana, Northwestern, UCLA, etc.
In crisis lies opportunity.

She has to already have a couple of candidates on deck. If not she will be as unprepared as HS look every Saturday. If she doesn't pull the trigger and GS is here next year then that means he has something on someone
I guarantee you she has already made up her mind as to whether she is going to fire GS. If she has decided to fire him, the back door people are already speaking to the back door people of coaches she would like. Gauging interest. Every athletic director has a list of as least three candidates for every coaching position at their school. They are always prepared in case of an emergency opening or in this case a well thought out terminationShe has to already have a couple of candidates on deck.

Maybe she’ll keep Schiano and just add both Lane K and Brian Kelly and they’ll just go with the first coaching triumvirate in history…which dates back to 1869 of course.She has to already have a couple of candidates on deck.

This is the look that says:
IM GOING TO GET FIRED FOR THIS DUMB ****???
Do you really think that Rutgers does not have a short-list of new Head Coaching candidates?
Not a single word spoke by Zinn, in support of Greg, this entire season. Says it all.
I've met Nate a few times. Probably throwing a few back preparing for Keli's inevitable need to do the same shortly following Greg's latest psychobabble bullshyte session.
It wasn’t just RU. Halloween is a big holiday if you have little kids. Students rather start early with a darty that rolls into a big party at night.
Are you implying the stadium was primarily empty because of Halloween? I can tell you that this was the first game this season that nobody from my group went and that had nothing to do with Halloween.
Todd Knisley came to us from Ohio State. Among other things in his job description he is the chief revenue officer for the athletic department. He is highly regarded in the industry and is a key part of the long overdue infrastructure that Zinn is building.

Another insider who has inside information into what is going on. Please stop with these posts.
But is that her replace him face, or I'll have to pit up with this again next year face
This is why I said, when she was hired, this was a completely unwinnable for her from the very start. To be elevated into this role is to be thrust into a situation designed for failure
Kids are different. And to be clear they should NOT be on staff in the first place so it’s justifiable regardless of performance. But if you have kids just put yourself in Greg’s shoes if an AD were to fire your sons. Do you think you are just showing up to the office BAU? You would be so butt-hurt and enraged you are calling up your lawyer to get you the F out.
LOL, it hasn't been BAU all year for Greg but I'm not revealing what else I've been told.
Keli nabbing him was a huge win. I’ve not met him yet but I know he’s very highly thought of.
You can see he’s listening to Greggo’s nonsense thinking what we all are.
There is contract language that the head football coach makes hiring and firing decisions. The only area Keli can dictate is budget. She should consider slashing it.
where is your kid playing lacrosse btw? You said you lost it after the year started. It’s November.
K I didn’t realize Keli couldn’t fire his sons and bloated staff.
Signing day soon.
She’s in over her head and butting up against the BOG and deep pockets in NYNJ. This ain’t the NOLA swamps, honey.
Who wouldn't be in over their head? At least given the money they would be paid and the money they would have to work with.
Oh, and no fieldhouse
I believe she learned the win or else attitude at LSU and won't allow others with a we can't do that type of attitude stop her from making the Rutgers Athletic Department into a do it or get out type of place for her HC hires .
But Zinn will learn change won't come quickly because she first has to win over the local college football fans, get the local media on RU;s side instead of being more anti Rutgers than find nice things to tell the public.
The right hire once Greg is given his walking papers will go a long way for her doing those things and the head butting will start looking more like Keli's smacking down the naysayers standing in her way .
Most important is finding new deep pockets to invest in the program and have the current boosters willing to give a little more in order to make the RU FB program something current fans will be proud of , have the NJ public and media jump n the bandwagon and see Rutgers start getting locally based corporations want to be associated with the program
Students weren't showing up for a 12:30 game to watch a ****** 2-5 team play regardless of "Halloween." We were out in Brumfus after the game, until about 9, and it was still DEAD for the most part.
*** pun most definitely intended
I guess most of you didn’t read the article I linked. UCLA had the lowest attendance of the year. It must be their bad team performance.
Like any senior executive in any organization in any business, Keli understands a fundamental truth about leadership: You don’t have to create a problem to be held accountable for failing to solve it. She inherited the Schiano situation, but she now owns it. And at some point, the question stops being whether Schiano can turn things around and becomes whether Keli has the judgment and courage to recognize when he can’t. Her own credibility, and ultimately her job, will depend on the answer.
UCLA had a huge game vs Wisconsin Oct 17th
Half stadium tarped off
Half stadium was Wisconsin fans
Other side was 70% full with ucla fans
I had plans to get to work at 5am work until 9
Drive 2 hours to game , game , drive 2 hours back to finish what I needed to get done before vacation from 6pm-10pm
It killed me not to go to game but It wasn’t worth it to see the most boring unimaginative offensive football team this sport has seen in the last 50 years
