The defense seems is as if it's a bunch of infants being taught how to play football. It's as if the defense had no instinct or grasp of the basics. Can't cover, can't contain, get easily faked out of their shoes. What are they doing all week at practice?

The whole coaching staff is stealing money.

Zinn regrets coming now because she’d be the LSU AD today if she stayed. But, hindsight…
Oh I hadn’t thought about that. She might have been! She’d also have to deal with a governor who wants to call the shots. Isn’t that why Tate left?

Need a good quality OC our offense sucks within red zone..you can run many RPO's within 20yd line. Every single OC has 100x more quality plays than we do.

Guess I.m going to say this about today's game, how the season will end and what I think about retaining Schiano

The difference between KC 1.0 & 2.0 is NOTHING. Today just has players more conducive to his garbage offense. Bring me in an OC that runs a balance of spread & pro set that doesn't run the exact same plays over & over.

Only Tate knows, but RU is a big step up academically (is AAU) and he’s from the north I believe. My guess is, these are the reasons, not for power conflict reasons.

Miller sucks way too many penalties from him. Baffles me why you are holding a wr on 4th down it's an automatic 1st down whether he catches it or not so why not just play defense....garbage

It’s not his playbook, just like it wasn’t Gleeson’s. The stink comes from the HC, not the scapegoat.

Dear Rutgers beat reporters, can one of you please ask Schiano at the post game press conference why opposing teams routinely have receivers who are not covered and why our defensive players constantly look like they are uncertain of their responsibilities from play to play?

Please?

In the airport. Able to see last 4 minutes of first half and first four minutes of 2nd half. Most important 8 minutes of the game. And somehow we get out scored 21-0. That’s the difference. That’s coaching. Other teams have it. We don’t.

Well - the wheels have certainly fallen off. Can’t believe how much this team regressed.

Nobody here can say we would worse off at this point if we retained Brown as DC. The talent pool would be better.

On the bright side, the D didn’t let up any field goals yet, not even a FG attempt. Keep Choppin’
