He posted on X. But not what Rutgers fans want to see. Beautiful moment for him. Please come back closer to home, Ola. You will love Jersey.

Yeah...why would he want a promotion and a rise ?
Besides, he'd have to move to New Jersey and coach Rutgers defense.
You sure it’d be a raise? Cuban could simply offer to match whatever is offered. They have an unlimited budget.

No one wants to work for Schiano. How much more clear does it have to be to some of you. He's either going to be the DC, he's going to have to overpay for some low level position coach to take the job, or he's getting a retread.

Basically the same position he was in last year, and will be again next year if he has a job.

So then he should’ve announced it a long time ago. There was no reason to string it along until after the portal closed.

He doesn't have anything to announce. Obviously he doesn't want to do it and is a last resort. His goals in order are likely:

1) A real, competent DC. That's obviously not happening and never was.
2) A lower level DC who is proven. That's obviously sailed by the wayside.
3) A low level position coach from a P4. Maybe he's still playing in that sandbox but it's looking unlikelier by the day.
4) A retread. Probably still in play but how many more retreads does have? Robb Smith and the other guy he brought in for some Frankenstein DC was probably the last resort retread possible and we saw how that worked.
5) Him being DC which is where this should probably land but he's not up for that anymore.


In short, there are no real options that are good. The Schiano ship has sailed off into the horizon. It's just a waiting game now while his buy out becomes somewhat palatable. AD Zinn is doing all the right things so she's prepared when that time comes.

Our President is the most sports centric person we've ever had in that seat. He, nor she, are going to allow this to go on for any longer than they have to.

I'm an amateur musicologist. My better half is often perplexed, impressed and/or disgusted with my ability to name songs from the 1960s-1990s, the year, the artist, and often the players in a wide array of bands. The Chambers Brothers are a revelation to me. I can add this to my mental database. 1967.

This song was in a few Vietnam War films. I've also heard it in some commercials.

That's where I "know" it from. I had no idea who the artist was. I need to dig deeper. Been digging into the catalogs of Howlin' Wolf, Joe Tex and Jimmy Smith lately. Chambers Brothers on deck. Not a revelation, but after listening to a lot of Howlin' Wolf lately, Led Zep should have given half of their royalties to Chester Arthur Burnett, Willie Dixon and others. The Lemon Song will never sound the same.

Yeah, they had a really good sound. That particular song seemed to capture the ethos of the mid-late 1960s. Had that psychedelic vibe to it.

Originally thought it could have been Edwin Starr, but the Chambers Brothers singer has a deeper, raspier voice.

i believe that Led Zeppelin was sued for royalties by Willie Dixon. Half of the songs on their first 2 albums were written by or directly influenced by him.

Howlin Wolf, Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard and a host of others are the basis of the British Invasion.

Realized all the artists, but going deep on Howlin' Wolf for the last few weeks had me shaking my head over just how much Led Zep took.
