So you wanted him fired after Houston in 2021 but waited until 2023 to join the board? And since then 90% of your posts are targeted at the coach in thread after thread after thread. Something else is at play here as it’s hard to believe that this tremendous animosity is all because you think he’s a lousy coach.
I said I was done with him and also recognized he earned the right to his extension even though it was too long. I did join the boards late but I was busy with young kids sports etc.
I love this school and know we have the ability to be a consistent program in athletics. The difference is I critgue my school the same way I would any other school. Most ppl on this board bleed scarlet red as well BUT are willing to move heaven and earth to provide every excuse they can for our coaches simply because they are here.
Pike had one solid recruiting class that was helped by Covid. That team over performed and was ruined from greater heights by Pike. The Houston game , the ND game, the MINN game costing us a tourney berth. 3 years in a row the inept Pike took glory from those kids and us. Pike said after the ND game that the standard at Rutgers was making the NCAA tournament and anything less in unacceptable.(His words no one asked him to say that he believed that). Well he has not met his own standard since and has become progressively worst every year. He is going to miss the BIG ten tourney let alone NCAA and ppl are saying give him time and will be better next year. (Delusional). Why is Rutgers not great in sports? We all know it’s over right now BUT lets argue to stay on the ship .
Now he has gutted the team , has made us a National laughing stock, and has us set up to win less then 10 game next year.
Our fan base continues to fight to keep him and believe he can turn it around!
my animosity is towards the fans who don’t understand how to build a consistent program and lobby for a man who clearly is not the guy.
