Rumor: Cristobal the new HC?
- Thread starter ScarletNYC
- Start date
TERRY SHEA WON ELEVEN GAMES IN 5 YEARS AT RUTGERS.
For those not so good with math that's 2-10 per season...for FIVE YEARS.

That same article says our record this year was 4-12.
I'm hoping we don't lose 4 more games this year. It would be tough to sit through.
If I'm looking for a scoop on RU football, the NY Post is pretty much the last place I'd check.
I dunno. They're quoting a pretty impressive guy named Source. He seems well-connected.
I don't know. I would be somewhat disappointed, although welcoming and accepting. Although FIU is one tough job, it seemed his record most likely correlated with experience of players with his last year at 3-9 taking a beating due to graduating players the year before (Don't know this for a fact). I'm also concerned we would be hiring another OL coach without OC experience.
I think Mario could put together a good staff. He has learned a lot under Saban. What he did at FIU was fine. He was a first time HC and a program that just started football. I don't know a lot of guys who would have done well under those circumstances.
3-9 was mostly a senior team but they lost the starting QB and a bunch of the games were 1 score or less. Still, not inspiring as the next season was even worse. Obviously it was a new coach, but Cristobal's players.
He certainly doesn't give me the warm fuzzies, but he should be able to recruit better than Flood.
Not inspiring because the year before his 3-9, he led FIU to its best record during his time there at 8-5 (although he lost his bowl game). It looked like he was on the rise big time. Nevertheless, FIU was a tough nut because of its newness in a state filled with football programs of higher priority. If he becomes HC at Rutgers here's hoping he can pull in those good Florida recruits, along with much better results in NJ
Remember he had a star NFL receiver playing for him during that 8-5 year, a big advantage in the Sun Belt. Decline in record coincided with Hilton leaving.
Don't know what the big anti Cristobal thing us about. I guess some folks don't know too much about his FIU situation with the AD. He is a top level recruiter and is a good oline coach as Alabama doesn't look too shabby up front. He's very familiar with Rutgers and even several of the top NJ coaches.
Maybe some folks would do well to look a little more homework and/or look closer at his coaching ability snd also his more open offense style when at FIU as well as what Alabama does.
If appointed I would wondet if any current staff members he mighy retain or might be asked to keep. This is often a question in many situations. But Barchi appears to be saying money is not a problem. And people please show some class and forget the Mrs stuff. That often is a question in many households whether it involves coaches or even ourselves.

last week they would have killed for him....our fans are a fickle bunch or ill informed...outside GS or AG..i like him. We ain't getting a UM or JH...LOL.
Being an incredible recruiter at Alabama is a baseline expectation. We need a fully formed hc. That isn't Cristobal
Cristobal would be my third choice amongst Saban's assistants behind Kirby Smart and Lane Kiffen. And I don't want Lane Kiffen.
I wonder what new had coaches have been successful and where did they work prior to becoming a HC. Just a guess, but I think the best new HC's come from programs where the HC is one of the best in the business.
I like Schiano but what has he learned these past few years that's going to make him a winner in the Big 10?

Shea couldn't recruit a lick and the first thing he did after being hired was go on vacation.
NJ HS coaches weren't very fond of him and Schiano had to hire Mike Miello to get them to start looking at Rutgers in a better light then they did with Shea the HC.
Doesn't matter how much budget Terry had, he just didn't recruit and it showed on the field.
Flood is a better recruiter, but not a good one .
Agreed
(He's an oline coach. Get me a God damn OC or DC for Christ sake. I prefer an OC so your offense isn't learning a new system every 3 years (See performance under GS).
But F*ck it. He is a major upgrade over Flood.
come on, you can't say "even" from flood, some of the better HS coaches in the state are not even with flood, I would prefer other head coach hires than Mario, but I would also be okay with him, but there isn't much out there that is even or below flood, lets be real
Miami fans are happy/smug about the prospect.

One more fan base that overestimates its value based on long ago success.

Can't remember the last time we hired an O-Line coach. Must have gone well.
That said, he went 3-9 in year 6 and his best record is 8-5 in the sun belt. It's laughable that people think he is ready for the B1G. He's not even considered coordinator worthy in the SEC.
