Done with Schiano? I am.

[AreYouNUTS]

IMHO: It's becoming glaringly obvious that Julie had nothing to do with him not wanting come back here. There are a few posters here who were 100% spot on and others were 100% wrong if so. Everything is leaning towards one side, or the other, having zero interest and my bet would weigh heavily on it being Greg and likely egotistical reasons or unrealistic expectations. I could be wrong, however, this is the vibe I'm getting.

See ya' Greg.

 

[mildone_rivals]

I was done with Schiano the day he quit. Not because he quit. Not even because of the timing of his quitting. But because he couldn't get over the hump. He did an awesome job of getting us to the hump. He even climbed pretty high up the hump. But that was it.

So I was okay with his leaving and I don't want him back. Not hate - just apathy towards him and a desire to try something new to get over the hump. Especially since the hump in the Big East grew to a mountain in the Big Ten East.

 

[RUschool]

No one even know what is going on with Rutgers. Rutgers might want to interview more candidates than Schiano. That's how it done in the private industry.

Welcome to the NUTS!

 

[Spare130_rivals]

Schiano bailed on us (with a .500 record) just before signing day, raided our staff leaving us with Flood, causing TP to hire him with his hands tied. Now it looks like he wants to get back to coaching after failing in the NFL and nobody will hire him. I stopped caring about him already.

 

[UpstreamRedTeam1]

It's only been 5 days guys. Maybe RU wants to do all the diligence it can on other options before giving him an offer. It could be a bunch of things and too early to jump to conclusions.

[Plum Street]

Schiano did a great job here . He brought big time football to Rutgers , something that was pretty much deemed impossible when he was hired . He was the one that got us into the BiG. I would still take him back if he wanted to come , but it looks like he doesn't . We need to move on , we don't owe him anything

Who cares. I'm jumping to the conclusion based on wishful thinking. I understand the love affair because he brought RUFB out of the mist. But I don't understand the wishful thinking that he'll somehow be magically rid of all his negatives when he comes back.

He was the guy to get us ready to be invited into the Big Ten. He's not the guy to get us to the point where we have a legitimate shot at winning the Big Ten.

 

[chase07470]

I wonder what the reasons are. Easier to win in other places with the storied programs, big budgets and killer facilities? Burnt out at Rutgers and the thought of returning gives him the shakes? Family hates NJ and never wants to come back?

I would have thought the entry into the B1G would entice him. He had so much to do with getting us here and the job seemingly gets a lot easier now that we are. He could have ridden in here and created a legacy for himself that lasted generations had he gotten us to a Rose Bowl. If he does well at a South Carolina, so what?

BTW, I can't think of a worse fit for him than that job and doubtful he will get it. He's damaged goods for a number of reasons and perception wise, no fan base outside of a Syracuse will be happy if he's hired.

I wanted him back. Still thankful for all he did and wish him well.

 

[JQRU91]

Done with Schiano I am.

He goes back to his taco mix, green eggs, and ham.

It's an OPINION buddy (and my % is a helluva lot better than most around here, regardless, but thanks )!

 

[mildone_rivals]

When it comes to knowing who will be hired, it's glaringly obvious nobody here, or on the Round Table, or anywhere else but the few directly involved in the search know what they're talking about.

So... why attack Nuts for his thoughts on the subject?

 

[RUchip]

Yes I've been done since 2012. No thanks to Greg.

 

[RUScrew85]

Yes I've been done since 2012. No thanks to Greg.

Agreed. And Greg really wants Miami anyway. Do they want him?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

BTW - I was a HUGE Greg fan, don't forget that.

 

[graystork]

Man I'd love to negotiate against some of you guys. 4 days and you're throwing in the towel?

 

[bowlgoal]

He's starting to embarrass himself. Too many interviews and rejection. He would never do well at South Carolina. Bad move if he goes there or somehow they hire him. He would be done there very quickly.

 

[RUsojo]

I am not directing this specifically at you nuts but "I am done" with all the posters ending their inferences with "I could be wrong" or something to that affect every time lol…

we'll see what happens

 

[rbled]

The reality is that it could be a lot of things. It could be that RU has other candidates higher on their list. It could be that GS wants to hear what other programs have to offer since he pretty much knows exactly what he is getting into here. Could be that he feels as though he has been there done that with regard to RU and wants to see what he can do somewhere new. Maybe RU feels that way and wants to go in a new direction. Maybe there is mutual interest and after exploring the alternatives both sides will determine that GS & RU are the best match for both sides.

One thing that is clear is that both sides are not sitting around waiting on the other. If RU finds a candidate with which they are happy, they will move forward irrespective of GS. And if GS gets an offer he wants he will take it regardless of whether or opening is filled. But it could still happen that we are each others' best option. We will know soon enough.

 

[mildone_rivals]

What makes everybody so damn certain we even offered Schiano? I know they think that on the Round Table. But so far as I can tell, that's still just a rumor. For all anybody knows, it could've been disinformation or even the admin seeing what kind of reaction they'd get about him from the fan-base.

 

[withoutregard]

none of us know what is going to happen and those that do aren't spending their time on this board, and knowing that a political person from NJ is heading up the search, makes it even more difficult to guess. They have cut their teeth with misinformation, misdirection and anything else that sends those wanting information doing 360's

 

[RU76]

What is glaringly obvious is that no matter who is hired there will be a segment of the Rutgers community and fanbase that will not accept the new coach and will do or say whatever they can to undermine him. Wait for the mocking, name calling and critical analysis of every decision, statement, press conference, out of context quote, decommitment, loss, fumble, interception. The only question is who will lead the assault, fans, professors, admins, politicians, or the media. The "I told you so" weasels already are laying the groundwork.

See ya' Greg.

This one is a no brainer, yet for some reason we have been talking about it since the day he left Tampa Bay. You quit your job to take a bigger and better job. Then it doesn't work out. The last thing you want to do is go back. Doesn't matter if you are in football or footwear....that's just human nature. If you have to take a backwards step career-wise, it is much better to at least go somewhere new for a fresh start.

 

[KnightsofChrome]

About time! I was done with him in 2008, 1st game against Fresno State, 1st qtr. and no score, we have the ball on the 2 yard line, 1st and goal. And, Schiano in all his wisdom and arrogance, runs the ball three straight times into the heart of the Fresno State Defense with a little Kordell Young at 5'8" and 175 soaking wet. While, on the sideline and in Schiano's doghouse(remember that), sat Andres Morales 6'2" and 250 pds. Who, btw had shown in spring and the year before his ability to run over people. Also, a great blocker. Never used! We should have won that game, but lost badly.
That's when I knew he was not the guy to take the program any further. I continued to argue that point for the next 4 years. The day he left Rutgers was a blessing! Unfortunately, he left Flood behind with us!
Schiano is to be applauded for bringing us out of the Abyss, but don't ever mistake him for a real coach. There is a reason no one wants him!

 

[graystork]

Don't you think if Schiano really had no interest in Rutgers that he'd withdraw his name from consideration? Or is he leaving it there just to torture you poor souls?

 

[RU31trap]

Rutgersal said that Miami would jump all over a Schiano hire. He would be a perfect fit for that program. I said he is too strict and while Florida kids may need some discipline he'll stagnate their development by micro managing the program. Let's see what happens.

Not only do we have the worst fans in college football, but now we have the dumbest ones too. Who else do we want to run out of town and run away for good? Any other coaches or QB's? None of these guys want to coach here and it has nothing to do with the media fellas.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

No, but if he really WANTED the job, I think it would be pretty obvious.

Because he's wrong. It's Rutgers that's not interested, not the other way around. Greg would take the job tomorrow.

I'll be 150% behind the new hire EVEN IF it ends up being Greg, please, don't get me wrong.

Does it matter? Just annoying constantly seeing people kill the guy for not being interested when it's simply not true.

 

[Mr. Magoo1]

I'm praying South Carolina takes him so he's off the table. I think after that he'll be out of major programs that will take him. I can't see him going to Syracuse.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Does it matter? Just annoying constantly seeing people kill the guy for not being interested when it's simply not true.

If I end up being wrong I will GLADLY apologize. This is just the feeling I'm getting. His agent is obviously letting the world know about all the other places he's interviewing at, right, so why absolutely NO info about him and RU, the last couple of days, if so?

BTW - it could be that there's no interest on our end and again, if I'm wrong, I have no problem eating crow!

No disrespect....How do we know his name is on the list?
Everyone is assuming because of Brown.

Sure it matters...

If you are going to make a statement like that.....back it up
