He’s one of the top reasons I took a 9 month hiatus from the board and let my premium sub expire. It’s like a car wreck, you have to see it but it sucks.

Rutgers outspends numerous Big Ten teams among other P4s. Schiano’s operating budget is massive. And all he does is lose.

What do you expect from someone that's in over their head with a lie that they're not smart enough to extricate themselves from.

If Rutgers had beaten Michigan & their upper $30m roster, Al would have been caught in a vortex of his own making. According to him the players are chicken chit, and Rutgers can't win without spending more.

Better preseason decision making like hiring a DC in two weeks like the rest of college football would have made a huge decision and yield better portal players. Plus, coaching, game prep and a multitude of other things all controlled by Greg.

The only portal that will bring in what Rutgers needs to win, is the coach portal.

RUBlackout · Sunday at 1:36 PM

We spend more money per win than any coach in the B1G!!!

Someone use ChatGPT or Fat Koko to crunch those numbers

Comp and wins vs Overall Schedule, B1G Only, and Top 25 Teams since Schiano took over 2.0

And you're going to ignore that Richie reported on the Round Table that numerous defensive targets wouldn't commit without knowing who the DC they'd be playing for was.

Just because everyone on the free board didn't know that back then doesn't mean we're going to let you lie about it now and continue gaslighting people here.

Greg had the money and fcked everything up by not hiring a DC in early Dec. like everyone else. He had a 6 week head start because he relieved Smith of his duties on Oct. 18th but couldn't find someone until Feb. 11th. It shouldn't take FOUR months to get it done. Especially after he did the same crap the year before and got stuck hiring Robb Smith out of desperation.

The delay had a cascade effect on the portal, in the area he needed players the most, because Greg thinks he's the smartest guy in the room like you. He's reaping what he sowed; no one cares for his lame presser excuses now. He cooked himself and he can't lie his way out of it.

Liar.
Since when don't you care?

One of your main arguments against firing Schiano was "we'll lose players to the portal".

And people literally said "Who cares if they are bargin basement" as you called them.

"I care if 50+ players leave, because we don’t have the NIL to replace them."

I’m Granting Greg Schiano a Mulligan for 2026 - Page 5 - Forums

Inadequate NIL directly contributed to non competitive roster $6M more would have provided us with enough talent to compete Lower Level Kids that were acquired are acclimating to this level of play Bradlee Jones played much better against BC A $5M Quarterback would have resulted in a 2-0...

Nick, perhaps you need hooked on phonics to improve your comprehension. There’s a big difference between losing 15 players and losing 50+. We don’t have budget to replace 50+ for starters.

Our best player committed 1/6, so it’s not true that we didn’t get players. Had we had more money, we would have gotten more players. You put enough 0’s on the check, and we would have gotten out share. It’s called a risk premium.

This years portal class will be much better because well have more money.

Richie literally rejected every one of your narratives yesterday in a single thread. And he knows Rutgers situation better than you could ever dream of knowing it.

Just pointing out that even a similar program to us financially, found a way to seriously improve their facilities. They make a good hire and we are seriously screwed, because that was one of the few wins we could count on, even though they had better talent.

GTFO. Richie is a publisher. He’s not God and he didn’t elect you to be his enforcer. We can disagree respectfully and move on. And we were talking about the Syracuse situation, so as usual, you’ve betrayed your own lack of comprehension.

I’m paying Richie $11 a month or so to be knowledgeable about Rutgers situation, so your stupidity knows no limits.

The Round Table, the free board and the Main Board all unequivocally disagree with your takes on Rutgers football. Yet you keep coming back with the same broken narratives every week, month, year. Every situation you bring it’s the same answers.

Greg screwed up with NIL that allowed him to compete.

Facilities are perks now, the kids don’t care as much about them unlike the rich guy who wants his name on the building.

Rutgers can compete in the B1G, it just doesn’t have the right staff in place.

It hilarious watching you flail all over this board. So much so you created numerous alias to try and make it seem like your loser positions are palatable. You’re the biggest loser on the internet. Every one of your positions gets utterly destroyed, most often by your own previous posts. Nick using your own words to defeat your latest position is hilarious.

Absolutely. Those are the prerequisites to winning at the highest level. the coach got 7 years with every advantage. Has Coach Schiano had 7 years with every advantage? No, he hasn’t. Maryland has a 5 ⭐️quarterback and they still can’t win. Meanwhile, we’re playing with defenders who don’t belong in this conference and a quarterback who is struggling. Give Schiano enough NIL support and a new Fieldhouse, and we will ultimately win the Big Ten. Once we have the baseline talent, we can move on to Schiano’s coaching.
