“Grant”-ed. It’s time to make the move.

I will be surprised if he doesn't get 10+ minutes vs Columbia. It would be a real bad sign if he didn't play.

I know we have quite a few disappointments so far this season, but this has to be a pivotal moment where Pike has to realize this isn't working. I'd be stunned if Grant can't offer more than Martini on the defensive end.

well its likely this game is life and death so not sure that happens. RU struggled to put St Peters and Monmouth and Merrimack away. The one true blowout was game one vs Wagner. What a sad existence

If Pikiell gets fired, Schiano should go with him

At the beginning of the season if some one asked if GS would be on the hot seat if he went 7-5 this year with our schedule the answer would have been … yes

But here we are

and yet - even though GS has MANY critics on the FB board - nothing.

I explained why above

I am not really sold on GS getting us to the next level given what we've seen so far and also what we saw from 2007-2011. That said, for THIS SPECIFIC YEAR, I really think he should get a pass based on the ridiculous number of injuries the team sustained.

Schiano has failed to win a conference championship or make an upper tier bowl in 14 seasons at Rutgers. Pikiell has made the NCAA tournament twice (would have been three times if not for COVID).

Pike was gifted Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey and has continued to flounder in the portal. While I’m not high on Pike, I don’t want him fired. That being said, it’s a fair question to start asking. Basketball recruiting is nasty and don’t think the inner circles aren’t talking about what’s going on here.
While yes, Pike has done more, this will be 3 three years of missing the tournament and recruiting is trending the wrong way.
Meanwhile, Schiano has adapted and is having success landing guys in the portal. You can bring up conference records or what we did 3-4 years ago, but find me another coached who missed the top tournament with top 5 picks and kept his job for much longer

Team will get better as the season goes along. With more experience you will get better results. Just have to keep working and believe if you are one of the players. As a fan I believe in the staff to get these guys more acclimated. I'm really surprised by everyones attitude given the way each game has went, fun and exciting games that came down to end game decision making by young players. Even against top 25 teams. These guys aren't that far off from being a tournament team. Have some faith man .

im not looking for fun and exciting. I am looking for efficient in wins and building a resume

we dont need to be a top 10 team who expected that, but we dont even have a tourney resume right now..not even close

the majority of staffs are dealing with huge overhauls of their roster and you can see the ones who are doing a great job with it and who are not

We’ll have to agree to disagree here. It’s pretty evident some were expecting Kevin Durant or Zion Williamson.

Well, yeah. Some STILL seem to think we have a Kevin Durant or Zion Williamson. I don't think pointing out that he is not Kevin Durant or Zion Williamson is bashing him.

I wouldn’t say he’s a “pretty good college player.”

What has he done that is better than "pretty good"?

ok. Haha.

I’ll give you the big disappointments in list form:
- start 3-0, huge win in Blacksburg, finish the season 4-5 against the weakest schedule we will likely ever have

- start the season with stadium attendance edging toward full, deliver two “farts in church” type home games (crushing all hope in front of a big crowd — an annual tradition) and by seasons end the stadium has 60%+ capacity

- look like the JV team against a team (the disgrace)

- lose on homecoming to give a team their first big ten win ever and make their qb look like John elway (the farce)

- lose a game with a walk off 40 yard TD throw

- zero juice. Zero hype. Zero nil hope. We aren’t in on any of the big play makers. We aren’t even in the conversation.

all crushing disappointments. This season was slightly bigger disappointment wise than 07 to me

How does going 1-1 in the Big Ten Tournament matter?

Assuming we are playing in the 1st round (9-15 seeds), does beating an at- best fellow bubble team followed by another loss to a tournament team really move the needle much?

Even if we get a bye, wouldn't we just be beating the same bubble at beat team (9-15 team) then losing for a solid tournament team.

When people say "and 1-1 in the Big Ten Tournament" what are you imagining and how does it help?

Seems only 2-3 wins (followed with another loss) in the conference tournament does anything?

Calling the resume specialists.

it doesnt....at all

conference tourneys dont matter and being a 10 seed and beating 15 seed Indiana impresses no one

committee has already selected before tourney play...a trip to the final might get an extra look but we have receipts the past few years, it does not change anything
