7/8 wins in regular seasons post 2006. The 9-win seasons you reference were 8 regular season wins plus a bowl win. Not a whole lot better than the 8 wins Flood brought us last year.
I want to move forward, not stand still.

No real moves will be made until we are getting full B1G share. And then? Maybe.
Not sure why people get their panties in a bunch.

Rutgers can not wait another 6 years to fund football and basketball. It's time for this Administration to step up and take advantage of being in the Big Ten
Wow. You called me out first...and now you can't take it back. Unreal! Talk about a thin skinned cellar dweller. Are you angry because your mommy didn't bring your dinner down to the basement?
If you want to dish nonsense out be prepared to take it back or STFU
I guess thats where we disagree. I do think that he could get 6 wins consistently, if he can get past this craziness that happened the last few week.. But the second part of that equation is that I have very little faith in us getting a coach in 2015/2016 that will reach 6 wins.
Been an RU student, football and golf player over 30 years now. Season ticket holder and sadly except for a few years I completely understand how cheap RU can be. Doesn't make it right, doesn't make it acceptable.
So, if we win 2 games this year they will still support him? I'm pretty sure losing will set us back a lot further than changing coaches. Is this guy a moron?
You were always very pro GS- as was I- and it appears you've stayed loyal to him. However I can't help but remember the constant "in year 11..." posts from people on this board, and how quickly the animosity towards Flood will rapidly transition to GS.
If the discipline is truly you're objection to Flood, I get it. But there is no mistaking Flood's relative success on the field- the BE share of the title that GS never won, a better win percentage. You can't cherry pick the Houston game and say "see, that's the real Flood."
Another fear of GS- he was dreadful against the spread offense. Hence his inability to ever beat WVU his entire career. Whats worse is everyone on the planet runs some form of it these days. They always played excellent run defense but the game has drifted away from that.
Tom Luicci wrote, "Schiano had five years left on a contract that paid him $2.3 million annually. He agreed to a five-year deal worth slightly more than $15 million to coach the Buccaneers, according to a person briefed on the negotiations."
So when was Schiano's pay cut supposedly to occur? 2018?

Towers is a new booster. Hedge fund money. Friends with Flood and was the previously anonymous booster that paid for Flood's extension and buy out. Doing that was $1.7million in donations and/or pledges. Unknown if he gave any in addition to that.
All talk and no action.
This thread has given me a great idea.We have all sorts of posters on the board, but there is no way to "weight" their posts. Are you a troll, trouble maker, true fan, flame thrower, etc. How many are all talk and no commitment. There are too many unimportant people who project a greater shadow on the board then they have earned.
So, here is my idea. Posters should be ranked by how much they give to RU. Donations, season tickets, etc. I would use the priority point system as the measure. Then I would assign a font size commensurate with the priority points. The higher the points, the bigger the font you are allowed to use to post on the board. You will see how committed the poster is, and you can discount the little font posters and focus on what the big supporters have to say!
Audi level posters should get to use "bold" as well as big font.
Six figure givers get to use bold and underline!
The bigger supporters, by way of their giving to RU, get the bigger words.
As the famous song lyric says,
"When you're rich they think you really know.".
Weren't all the team in the Big East facing the same issues around the conference?
"He has earned a down year in the cyclical nature of things"? Problem is that his terrible recruiting and dismal coaching will ensure that the downward cycle will continue as long as he is here and probably a few years after all the damage is done.
That's what I've been saying all along, if I remember correctly we were picked to win the conference his first two seasons and seriously underachieved. Please don't bring up sharing the BE title in year 1, it was a 4 way tie and we were actually 3rd.
Year two was a disaster and has been a precursor for things to come, the blowouts continue.
Anybody that says Flood has earned a down year or anything else since he has been here is a crazy person. Using Flood's own standard of 'total body of work' says he should be fired.
I think the AAC season was when he was learning on the job and the blowouts were because we didn't have the personnel to match up with spread offenses...I'm sure there are more excuses but I think those are the top 2.
Earlier in this thread someone posted that Flood has earned the right to have a down year, or something to that effect.
No one directly said the AAC year earned Flood good will...not trying to speak for brgossRU90 but I think he is trying to point out the same as I am...Flood hasn't earned any good will.
Anyone donating the kind of money this person does has my respect, regardless of whether or not I share his specific views on the program.
Rutgers is in no position to alienate any donors of this size. That doesn't stop fans here from disparaging the guy, as unfortunate as it is.

That's his opinion. I see more absurd things posted here every day. At least this guy is putting real money into the program. With the paltry donations we get compared to peers, his contributions are valuable. It's up to Jules to placate him.
I am neutral on Greg Schiano. Nobody is going deny that he has a huge ego.
He left Rutgers making $2.3M per year when Rutgers was in a dying conference.
He is making $3 million to sit at home and do whatever he wants.
Totally different scenario because the guy has a wacky history, but some parallels because he left to go to the NFL and also a huge ego--Bobby Petrino.
When he left Louisville, he was making $1.6Million/year, and would have made a maximum of $2.6Million/year in 2016.

Leaves Atlanta Falcons, goes to Arkansas where his reputation takes a hit, and comes back to Louisville at a a salary of $3.5Million/year.
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/eye-on-college-football/21347707
For those who are not math jocks, that is more than double what he was making at Louisville when he left 7 years earlier. Before coming back to Louisville, Petrino took the WKU job at $850,000/year.
Greg Schiano does not have the W-L record Petrino had/has. But he is also smart enough to not take a major pay cut from his old employer when his old employer is now in a P5 conference. Plus, he will see a Rutgers that seems less football friendly than it was when he left with a President that does not support big time football.
Why would he come back to Rutgers at a huge pay cut? He could take the USF job, which is paying Willie Taggart $2Million/year, or UCF, which is paying $2Million/year, neither of which requiring a major move. A couple of years at one of those jobs, and they he gets his major payday.

And here is the potential winner. Schiano and family love Florida, I believe both of those schools would embrace Schiano, he would be afforded much more leeway and support, he recruits Florida well and could steal some very good NJ kids that want to get out of town and still have some sort of NJ ties and the math makes more sense.
A mega-$ donation from a non-alum does not automatically command "respect." And a hedge fund guy? Cmon, man. I say "Thanks for the donation. We're grateful. But you get no influence for your $."
Let's hold on on the "mega" donation talk.
The only bit of confirmation anyone can find is that he donated $1MM, specifically earmarked for Fridge's contract, and then guaranteed $700k to fund a portion of Flood's buyout.
Yes, we need people willing to give a $1MM. No, that shouldn't entitle them to create a false narrative in the press, portraying themselves as the voice of a contingent of boosters. The guys who built the recruiting lounge have given at least that much money and aren't out in the press managing the story.
We're not Monmouth. $1MM shouldn't buy you that kind of perceived power here.

stop it...you are saying that firing Flood means we wont be successful for 9-12 years...just stop it.
It's been reported multiple times that he could possibly give 8 digits for the facilities upgrades, but who knows if he's committed anything yet.
