I didn't realize bath salts were still "a thing".
I see Rutgers playing in the Rose Bowl within 5 Years

Wrong, it takes 5 years if you are unable to recruit top line talent from the portal. We will continue to use the portal to fill holes. Not expecting a huge surge, but it should help us get a handful of 4 ⭐️ players.
This is a defense first program. Scoring points isn’t as important to the head coach. Defense is ready to go, from a talent and depth perspective, led by All American candidates Aaron Lewis and Max Melton. There is a solid group of starters backed up by quality depth. Offense still has a ways to go.
stay optimistic Al, it's great to see someone with an : we can do it attitude posting that way.
The we';ll never be good enough attitude many RU fans have makes being optimistic about RU FB frustrating at times when trying to see a bright football future for the team .
OMG! 8 years to rebuild a football program, only at Rutgers would this even be considered possible. US presidents only get a max of 8 years to change the world, yet it takes 8 years to get a college football team to play .500 football at Rutgers.
Who is responsible for that? No one saying top line talent but certainly enough to win more than 6 games in year 5. There no reason you can't put together enough talent in 5 years to win 7 plus games.
Penn State is well supported, so you don’t have a proper frame of reference.
How so, when you have 3 guaranteed losses in Michigan, Penn State, and Ohio State. Another two in Wisconsin and likely USC. And then Maryland, with whom we’ve struggled with. Playing a Bug Ten schedule like Rutgers is, and you run out of opportunities very quickly.
In response to the OP, I don’t.
Not gonna start a thread about it thought.

When the program isn’t properly supported, things take longer. Want things faster? Write an NIL check like I did and convince your friends to do the same.
Come on even Indiana, Minnesota, Maryland, Illinois, and Purdue have coaches that didn't need 5+ seasons to win more than 6 games. Heck everyone likes to say Franklin can't coach but even he had two 9 win season at Vanderbilt in 3 years yet you think it unreasonable to expect that from Schiano? You can't say those programs are so much better supported.

This is a play not to lose, bend but don’t break, stuck in the early 2000s type program
You need to score points to win. Not play pop Warner offense and hope your defense can save the day
It’s not the big east 2006. Evolve, or continue getting smoked
Embarrassingly embarrassing
Even at the NFL level, the teams who win big today are offense first teams who play to score every time they touch the ball like the Chiefs and Eagles. 2 more years of dinosaur football and then Hobbs can hire an offense first HC.

Going from a HC that left the with a 8-22 record and expecting a winner quickly shouldn't be expected .
Also acting like a HC going into his 4th year can't make the program a winner because the program regressed to 4-8 from the 5-7 regular season record ( with a bowl appearance making the year a 5-8 one) is a bit much to take.
It's like aRU fans want to give up and go along with PSU fans that always look to put RU FB down.
Schiano is going into his 4th year and has proven in the past he can make RU FB a respectable program, yet it's like some here want him to fail.
Other program's fans that come here I can expect failure is an option talk, RU fans should tell them, RU won't fail and we expect it to become a winner
by the 5th year.
Then we can start looking at making the playoffs in year 8 and lose the debbie downer attitude that allows opponents to come on this site to put down the RU FB program and find supporters , unlike Al who strongly supports RU FB and finds mostly detractors.
Schiano made RU good enough in year two to go bowling, the four previous years RU was in the toilet bowl .

GS needs 5 wins this year or just move on...And stop the talk of a development team...That is ******** loser talk.
Sorry, bt someone really just has to say it.
He made the defense into a good P5 defense- and that is without the means to NIL or a bunch of 4-5 stars.
That should tell you it can be done. He sucks with the offense and we went a whole damn year not even recruiting a QB when we didn't even have one that could play yet.
At this point- no more excuses. Get us 5 wins and let's see the offense turn the corner.

LOL!!! Al just woke up from hibernation. FYI, this is the year 2023 Al. Please refer to the past decade of Scarlet Knights Footbal.
Al, what make you a better prognosticator than Leonte Carroo??
Caroo...Rose Bowl
That was a pure gift and wasn't based on athletic accomplishments.
Well, we have 2 kinds of the "we'll never be good enough fans": 1. We'll never be good enough because "even Jesus couldn't win at Rutgers with Satan as OC" 2. We'll never be good enough while Schiano is the HC.
That nameless offense first HC is who'll be coaching in the Rose Bowl.
A program with a head coach for whom scoring points isn't important is a program that will lose a lot of games.
Al is the Britney Spears of our board. Oops he did it again. An ignominious recognition.
Crazy! Not exactly the attention I would be seeking. But to each their own.
Happy for Al, that was the end goal, and I am sure it made his weekend.
We have no building materials. Bring me some two by fours and some cement and then we can talk
Hey , they may give Greg another extension for beating Louisville in 2006
You are very pessimistic. Most of us believe we will be in the National Championship in 2024.
If Schiano doesn’t get us to a bowl in the next 2 years he should be fired.
We’re a basketball school. The football program has no juice at this point. Schiano is just bullshitting and cashing paychecks as long as he can.
With the exception of Maryland, those other programs have been in the Big Ten a lot longer than we have, and have updated facilities, allowing them to recruit better than we have. We’ve only been full members since like 2001.
There is possibility we get 6 this or next year. More than 6 will likely have to wait till year 6, at the present trajectory.
To score points, you need lots of offensive talent at the skill positions, which we lack. NIL is not a meaningful factor for us. Playing tough defense and running the ball is the way this coach wants to do things.
We will win our share of games after year 6.
