Does Greg Deserve an Extension?

[rutgersguy1]

It was just extended last year (prematurely imo) so obviously no need. That being said, I've never been a believer in a coach needing a certain number of years on a deal. I believe it even less so in this age of portal where rosters change all the time.

Marshall let their coaches contract run out in a year they won 10 games and the Sun Belt. They wanted to make a change and they let it run out. Freeman just got a 4 year extension at ND to push his contract out to 6 years. That means ND let it run down to 2 years. I've seen FCS schools do similar. In this age of schools paying players (NIL coming from the school) it's even more important to be prudent with resources (as it should always be anyway).

Is Mrs. Schiano unhappy with his current length?

 

[scarletbergen]

You guys have been running down the program for forever. Debbie Downers!!!
You hate yourselves, see a shrink!

No extension, no firing. Winning record like last year. Good recruiting class. Let's see what happens.

Losing the Rate ends the idea.
Win it all next year then it's a good idea 😁

never underestimate the sarcasm some RU fans use after a loss 😁

No. Two seasons at 7-6 is just plain mediocre.

Yes, and a highly favorable schedule this year. Next year, it’s back to reality.

Has to be or else it was created by Schiano’s Agent.

Yes if he beats State Penn and at least 1 other team he has never beaten, and/or if we win at least 10 games.

Which ever comes first before his contract is up.

The main problem is Rutgers alumni and even the current student body are not into sports or worse anti sports. We are more like Purdue than Penn State. That makes it difficult to attract and pay a top coach, let alone build a top tier football program. Schiano has proven that he can do it here where every other coach has failed. He is a NJ bred guy with many connections in the football community, a good recruiter and the players love him. I am disappointed with this year's results, but a win against Illinois and a win at the bowl game and I would be pretty happy. So if the real question here is Would you fire Schiano, at this point I would vote No.

I gave him a single digit extension after both the Illinois and KSU games.

I’ll just say out loud what we’re all thinking. Want an extension? Beat State Penn. It’s that simple. Give us, the fans, the win we want. No reason to sugarcoat it, beat them and we can talk about an extension.

I gave him an extension after both the Illinois and KSU games.

And will after the 2025 spring game too. If you count spring games as wins against conference opponents his Big10 win total in such is even more fantastic.

Just wait, $22M payroll will level the playing field. Schiano’s ability to evaluate talent is going to shine!

This ain’t college football any more.

The low 20s is the cap for entire athletic departments not just football, although I believe schools can allocate it anyway they want.

The expected ranges I’ve read are 12-14 or 15-17 for football.

You don’t have to spend up to the cap but I haven’t read anything about a minimum you have to spend as well.

Being in the P2 should make it more feasible to find the money in the budget as opposed to other conferences.

Then why the focus on sports ?

Schiano was and still is tho de facto AD. Doesnt matter who the new titular AD he endorses will be, Schiano will keep almost every penny of the allocation.
