What ever happened to extending 2+ years out? Doing so now would be ridiculous. Recruits prefer an offense they can be productive in. Greg needs to show that first. Defense is on the right track. Extending now just means we will have more years to pay Greg when he’s fired (if offense is a disaster this year). I personally don’t expect Hobbs to be as patient (since he didn’t prefer Greg in the first place).
What Raise does Schiano deserve if he wins 6 Games??

My opinion of him would drop a lot if he gave a raise or extension. A coach with 4 years left on his contract isn't going anywhere unless he wins really big.
let me put it to you this way
If you had told me before hand that it would take these many years to get to .500 with Greg, I would have been disappointed..... and we haven't done it yet
if he were to get us there this year, I would find it adequate. nothing to write home about
I just don't think you start throwing money at him, especially if the .500 record is propped up by
winning mostly the out of conference games.....
UConn drew 36.5K in East Hartford last night vs NC State.
Do we outdraw them on Sunday vs NW?
Yes Fieldhouse Al…same song every year. But just look at our xxxx Recruiting class !!! How many stick after another losing season? 2. How many play offense ?
Not trying to change anyone's mind, just pointing out something. For the record, I don't think he's a GREAT coach but he's also not a D3 level coach.
You are correct he’s not a D3 coach. Since you are a baseball guy as well, Greg is like Buck Showalter. He can build a program but you need another to get you over the top. And I like Buck and Greg but know their limitations. I have higher aspirations for this program than just making bowl games. It’s a pipe dream I know but also I know Greg can’t get us more than respectable. I will be more than happy to eat crow on that but history is on my side.
He’s hasn’t gotten it because he hasn’t earned it. He needs more than 6 wins to get an extension. He has four years left and no one wants him. He’s not in danger of leaving at all. That’s the only reason you give a coach who hasn’t achieved anything an extension at this point. And even that is dumb.
Let it play out. The Schiano sycophants are out of control.
6-6 is 6-3 against teams not called OSU, Michigan and PSU. FWIW PSU has probably the best backfield talent on O that they’ve ever had… And I mean ever.
Let's worry about this when he wins six, OK?
What is "minimum performance threshold"?
In another thread someone said we should "hammer" 5 teams.
Is 5 wins the minimum threshold for success this year then?
Should we expect any wins that aren't "hammer" games?
You are what your record says you are. 6-6 is middle of the road.
They could play very well and still finish 6-6. Currently, five opponents are ranked...and only the OSU game is at home.
They haven't played a single game yet and already people are giving Schiano credit for a 6 - 6 season, and acting like it's a great accomplishment. Maybe we should see what happens. But whatever happens 6-6 is not reason for a raise for the love of God, for a program bleeding red ink with a coach in no danger of leaving.
Colby - the game is the same D1,2,3. What differentiates coaches across that spectrum isn’t competence. It’s opportunity and/or aspiration.
Brian Kelly started D2, Leipold started D3. You think because Schiano coaches D1 and also did in the NFL he’s a better coach than coaches at lower levels ?
I’m not suggesting he’s inferior or superior than D2 or D3. I’m saying that level is irrelevant in judging ability.
Had one of Schiano’s first jobs been at a lower level and not at PSU (after RU) there’s a good chance he never would have gotten very far, independent of his competence.
Can’t give him credit for something he hasn’t done. Even if he does it still no credit, LOL
Need 14 more years to judge him, unless the NFL comes calling again. I heard Andy Reid will retire soon and Schiano the likely replacement. Makes sense: one great offensive mind followed by another. Mahomes would avg 500 yards a game passing and Pacheco avg 250 on the ground with Schiano in charge.
Yes, when you are the lowest paid. He should be rewarded by not being paid the lowest in the league
WOW! 
Again NO ONE is coming after GS…he has NO leverage and RU has no reason to extend him or even worse, give him a completely undeserved raise.
All extending him does at this point is make a buy out pricier.
It would be the Rutgers-iest move to do this.

It took a full 5 years the first time. Not sure why you would expect more progress sooner, especially when the competition is so much more difficult. Yes, we have to rely on out of conference games to get to .500, because we don’t have enough support to challenge OSU, PSU, and UM.
You asked about a raise
We can say that he had not exceeded expectations, so his compensation is in line with his results
And a 6-6 record now is not enough of a result to enhance his pay
It took 5 years in a way shittier league…which we never won.
So logic would say it should take longer than 5 years. And it’s looking like 6 years, unless we surprise this year.
‘looking like 6 years’ for what Fieldhouse Al ? In 3 years you will spew new ********. I know it, you know it and so does everyone else here.
Funny thing is, common perception of you wont change in 3, 5 or 20 years because it cant get any lower than it is now. in that sense, your asinine opinions are free. see what i did there?
Fieldhouse Al is forever pathetic.

This isn't a union so no one gives a **** what other people are being paid. hes paid what his perceived worth is and right now hes overpaid
He’s eerily similar to Goody in many ways
Would love either / both to step down in the next few years and take over for Hobbs
Oh
I wouldn't doubt that Hobbs bumps him up a bit for six wins
I also don't think it is necessary
