OK, I was one of the people, like Choppin, who thought that there were better hires out there, but always said we would be happy with Schiano.

I don't know that I necessarily thought there were better hires out there, just that I didn't feel Schiano was some sort of slam dunk or a guarantee of success. That said, the time for discussing who we should/shouldn't hire is over - we've got our guy, and he's got my full support. Excited for next year, and can't wait to see a newly fired up team coming out of the tunnel!

Sorry about that! My bad.

Bold Prediction
He will be snatched up by a marquee program if he goes .500.
He could even replace Belichik at if he retires.
He has a handicap of +6 so if he wins 6 games, it is equivalent to winning 12 games which makes him a one hot property.
Schiano is the only one who gets such a high handicap because Rutgers has been so bad for 150 years.
That's why he took this job so he can go on to his plum job: Either Penn State or New England.

*If he goes .500 he isn't getting snatched up anytime soon. And if he goes .500, he knows better than anyone else that The State of Rutgers can become Marquee faster than you can blink an eye. I think he may have his eye on maybe 1 or 2 elite programs but not going somewhere else for the sake of going.
*You are kidding, right? Patriot fans would burn down the house
*I do kind of agree. but the handicap does have a floor of 3.
* Bad for 150? I really hate people that say this because they have never once really looked at our history. We had been pretty damn good prior to moving up.
* Even Greg knows he will never be touched by Pedd St. Yes, they did take a rape enabler in Penis head but that was at a different school. Even Pedd St will not take anyone who was there during Joe Pa.JS years. After Brady/Bill leave NE- that team will suck for a number of years. And they will in no way take a failed NFL coach even if he kills it here.

What I really like about Greg...He is a MASTER at marketing. Even quickly retaining Nunzio and making it known asap was strategic. His presser was pure NJ gold. He did it the first time here and he even seems like he may be better this time. There is no way to listen to him and not start to believe no matter how far fetched it may be.

His staff selection is going to be key. For the first time, he has the $$$ to bring in top talent. He need to make a perfect mix of top level X/O guys who can recruit and some top notch local guys who can also make the NJ HS coaches happy.

The other thing he needs to do...make sure his players from 01-12 are on the sidelines, showcased and 100% behind him. Get everyone he can to reach every single one of these guys and get them excited again.

Like who? I don't care about those never in on Rutgers Football or football in general. The people complaining about his contract are just idiots who like to complain... about anything. I found out these last few days that even non Rutgers fans from NJ are All IN on Schiano and NJ pride.

Trying to determine which thread I like the least this one or Zap's troll thread. Very close. I don't get the point of either other than to continue to provoke divisiveness. It's done the Schiano supporters tactics proved effective. Lets move on.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a fan of the hire however I am a fan of the excitement surrounding the program right now. I hope I’m wrong and will gladly eat crow if that’s the case. I’ve listed the reasons why I don’t think he’s the right hire but I digress, I’m happy for the the excitement surrounding our fan base right now

(And for my friends with a literary inclination, "The proof of the pudding is in the eating," is how the phrase goes. If you think about it, "The proof is in the pudding" doesn't make any sense. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating" means that if it doesn't taste good, the looks of it don't matter. One final thing, "pudding" is used in the UK sense, and its meaning is closer to desert than Bill Cosby's stuff. Any desert that is at all wet is called "pudding" in the UK.)

In our house, the phrase is "the proof is in the pudding", because my wife spikes her bread pudding with amaretto.
