Done with Schiano? I am.

Hey Numbers,
You serious in thinking Schiano is the best option at this point, or is this part of a running joke that I haven't read back far enough to understand?
Not ragging here. Serious question. I respect your 27k posts and willingness to predict which way the wind is blowing.
Oh, I see. Did we win a Championship that year? No. Or ANY other season under Schiano? No. Did we have the talent? The NFL thought so! Yet, we should have with all those awesome Offensive numbers. The season starts the first week in September. This was a very good Rutgers team, as was the one in 2007, but again mediocrity. Good coaches don't waste talent, and certainly don't wait until mid season to use the talent they do have. He knew what he had coming into the season. Actually, boasted about the ball never hitting the ground during passing drills in the summer. Yet, we scored how many points against Fresno......7(and that was in the 4th Qtr).
So, you can have your memories and I'll have mine.

Both.
His habit of forcefully stating that one is wrong (often about something purely subjective) is legendary among his close friends. Also, a couple/few days ago, he was making fun of me for one thing or another and posted that at least he wasn't yelling "you're wrong" at me. To which I replied that he would make up for it by just yelling it louder the next time.
Thus, for those keeping score, I am actually right, even if I'm actually wrong. Which I'm not.
Also, and far less importantly, he would love to have Schiano back. Some sort of creepy infatuation. The cure for which we same close friends fear might require an intervention. [laughing]
MILDONE! I gave a "Like" just because you are up this early, WHAT! Let's hope we all get good news today!
There seem to be four categories of coaches during a search: the couple of really hot ones that everyone aspires to hire, the few intriguing ones that could be really great, a bunch of guys looking for jobs some of who might be good and finally the guys that AD's leak that they are talking to in order to show they are doing a diligent search but won't really hire. I'm starting to think Greg might be in the latter.
He is the person people are most familiar with. That poll tell me 60% of people don't want Schiano.
Not battered wives. We just know what he brings to the table and think given the current circumstances has a better chance of succeeding than Golden or coordinators with no HC experience. Chip Kelly ain't coming here.
Yes, you're high. And yes, I wanted Natale in for a series, a quarter, a half, if needed--anything to get Teel refocused. Hell, your boy Schiano did it to Hart and look what happened in 05. I know Natale wasn't the answer, but sometimes you need to play someone else to get your number 1 focused.
I don't get the never-ending hard on for Greg. In the BIG East, he'd on average go 6 - 6 / 7 - 5 (no more hiding behind a padded schedule and beaten down Big East). He'd demand way more than his worth and his insufferable ego would continue to cause too many WTF game decisions and unmanageable staff turnover. TIME TO HEAD IN A NEW DIRECTION...AND THAT INCLUDES HIS COACHING TREE TOO!!!
What's funny is that these posters really know Schiano. I guess they might have had a 5 minute discussion with him 5 or 10 years ago but probably never spoke to him. They also must know who we are hiring because they know it isn't Schiano. I would wait before speaking negatively about him since he still might be our coach.
You see it hat way, I see it as over 60% of fans want some other than Schiano. And look at the crap alternatives given. Add a few names like Mullen, Ash, Venables and where the numbers go.

I hope there is some sort of announcement soon the animals in the zoo are getting restless. And, turning on each other.
Schiano is better than some of the candidates mentioned and worse than some of the others,
so go for the one of the best choice available and Greg fall just short of that.
Wish him well and hope he gets a HC position for the 2016 season, but 2017 is when he'll have to
find a position and not be as choosy about it as he can afford to be now.
I still am wondering if finances won't be problem in an effort to hire the best, even if it was said it won't be. After seeing RU hire on the cheap for years can't imagine that changing even thought it might be if Hobbs' (Barchi ?) is telling the truth about finances not going to be a problem when going after Flood's replacement.

Especially when he doesn't want to come here. Move on ! The Tie is ready, willing and able.
With the sorry state of this FB program, RU should be considering all qualified and interested candidates. Anyone who thinks GS would not be a significant upgrade are just not thinking clearly (I could have used a more powerful adjective but I really respect those diehards even if their opinions don't always jive with mine). Sure we all want the next Harbaugh/Meyer, but I doubt we can get that now. GS certainly has more experience than the current IU coach or the new MD coach...
