The protracted search is because the job isn’t as attractive as others. Even Syracuse has a solid new DC!
The good DCs aren’t stupid. They see the lack of talent on the roster. The portal haul is literally going to make or break our season.
We need $7M in NIL to turn this around Next Year

Small business can contribute to NIL, of which we have many. Doctors, lawyers, and independent consultants qualify.
Rutgers needs to find some corporate sponsors.
Many companies have a US or World Headquarters located in New Jersey or New York City.
Rutgers should start with Pharmaceutical Companies.

Considering that team mutinied on Pike, I am not sure why people find this story so hard to believe.
We will lose badly under Pike until he's gone regardless. If he's holding us hostage and this just becomes about waiting out his contract, then keep the NIL powder dry for another coach. 10 wins vs 14. Who cares.
They need to get that $$ from local businesses. Not Fans. Fan should spend money with local businesses that advertise with Rutgers NIL. That’s how you make it work.
Both of these can be true:
- We don’t have enough NIL to form a quality high major roster
- We don’t have the coaching staff to put in the right system, develop guys , and maximize talent on a roster
They had 2 of those guys last year and finished below .500.
No chance I'm giving Pike money.. he has no eye for talent.
Donate your $7K and show your receipt!
You’ll have my attention and I’ll consider* doing the same!!!
We had plans to build a Fieldhouse. Where did those end up? Coaches don’t care about plans anymore, they want to know what the reality is. How much do you have available TODAY? Otherwise you can’t fix problems.
Why not give the Coach who has actually been successful here, the support he deserves?
Lino has talent. Cam Spencer had talent. Harper and Ace Bailey had talent. Give him the support he needs and he will land all the needed talent.
No. This needs to be a collaborative effort. Either we collaborate or do nothing.
Not true. For most of that time our athletic department has operated like a middle of the pack Ivy League school. We don’t have all the old fat cat alumni who remember athletic glory days like other Big Ten schools.We’ve been waiting for whales to show up for the last 156 years. It has t worked out, so everyone who cares has to do their share. Or watch basketball die on the vine.

He left to go to a program that takes basketball seriously and has a shot at a national championship.
You think Syracuse is an attractive job? They barely beat UConn at home.
Is 7M going to teach RU players how to set screens and shoot the ball better?
I don’t think that’s entirely accurate because everyone’s roster budget is different so there is still methods to bringing in $ other than revenue sharing
we might want to believe that but you can’t sit here and say every school in big 10 is operating under the same constraints
I would have to factor in the cost of a divorce if my wife found out I was throwing $7k EXTRA per year into Rutgers basketball
Ok. He reached his goals at UConn. RU wasn’t getting him to the draft.
I think the DC job is unattractive because of Schiano.
He has an eye for talent. His problem is that he doesn't have the ability to effectively utilize it. Judging from the way Dylan and Ace have performed in the NBA, their talents were squandered here. Particularly Dylan's.
If success were important to our alumni, they would have ponied up a long time ago. Success is booster driven, not administration driven.
It was attractive enough for a Top candidate DC to commit to them over other reputable programs. And they have a brand new Fieldhouse plus adequate NIL support.
They’re not. Michigan fans clearly ponied up and that is why they have a top notch team.
We got Dylan and Ace to the draft. He would have gotten to the draft had he remained with Rutgers.
It’s more that there isn’t enough talent onhand to succeed. Look at the DL on the roster. That is the biggest issue.
There was enough talent for the defense to be better than the sieve it was. That wasn't why better DC candidates didn't want the job.
Dylan and Ace would have been drafted wherever they went. The mediocre coaching they got at RU had nothing to do with it. Spencer wouldn't have been drafted if he stayed here. The current coaching staff has no clue how to construct an offense that gets shooters open shots. UConn's does.
RU had 2 DL transfers who were good players in the MAC and Sunbelt conferences. So did Indiana. Their DL couldn't be blocked by the future pros from Ohio State and Oregon. RU's DL was either out of position or plowed into the turf by those same future pros while their RBs ran wind sprints. That was coaching. Clearly, Greg thought so., since he fired both of his DCs AND the DL coach. There was enough talent. The problem was that Schiano hired one DC that was a mediocre retread and another that was inexperienced. I find it hard to believe that they were the first choices. I find it equally hard to believe that lack of talent was the reason he couldn't attract better coaches.
