Ok…but again my issue is it should have taken 4 years.
Actually your complaint should be for more years than you counted.
I'd complain about waiting since 1981 (the year I consider Rutgers first started scheduling a full D-1A lineup of opponents) and still 22 years later RU isn't a top program.
The closest RU has come to that is when the same guy was HC.( hint: first name starts with a G)
His first time as RU's HC it took 5 years for the program to become respected, this time it only has taken 4.
If you want to complain about something , complain about Rutgers never making sure it's football program was one of the best since it went big time.
Maybe the roadblocks put in place because the program has been considered a loser since it went D-1A makes it harder to get the type of talent top programs get and turning around a program like that takes more time thaqn the I want it now crowd will accept.
But I will agree, over 20 seasons since beginning to play a D-1A schedule with only one season ( 2006) worth remembering is too long of a time to wait for greatness
