more like current tragictory of the program. I experienced Littlepage in person, never thought it could be worse. Well, it's worse. Hope Hobbs gets it right.
Eddie Jordan MUST be fired

Maybe, but they would play fundamentally sound basketball. Our team can't seem to play D. Or A, B or C. I feel bad for Eddie and the team, but this can't be allowed to continue. It's like watching a horse running around with a broken leg. Need to end it now.
Everyone who is comparing the first three years of the Eddie Jordan era to the first three years of the Greg Schiano era are entirely on crack. By year three it was clear Schiano was making progress at Rutgers. After three years of the Eddie Jordan era we have gotten progressively worse.
I wanted this to work, but it's clear that it isn't. If everyone on this roster was healthy we're probably winning maybe 3-4 more games, tops, and that shouldn't be acceptable.

Be careful for what you wish for. Hobbs hired Willard and gave him an extension. Maybe with KW's success this year he can lure him here.
Would not want Willard but he's light-years ahead of Jordan. The Seton Hall game this year was one most embarassing home losses I've ever been to at the RAC.
Sanders? Williams? Foreman? you don't think they start next year? or at least one of them the 6th man?
Mr. Jordan is relentless. Wish you were this active during games and on the recruiting trail.
Only Sanders, the other starters are Nigel, Deshawn, Shaquille, and likely Jonathon. Mike and DJ will be quality contributors off the bench. Do you think differently?
Corey missed 4 of the games on that list and averaged 30 points per game in 3 others ! Just saying !! Jon , missed 4 games on that list , and posted double - doubles in 3 of the games played. Just saying!!!

Why? Do you see me making outlandish predictions like others have done that this roster will beat Penn State, or Northwestern like has happened? Just because you cannot see that 3 walk ons who are playing major minutes in the Big 10 , will never win a game and I am not the idiot putting down our players during a game thread or after. It seems to bring some level of joy to see our players lose this way. It hurts me as a Rutgers University fan and it should hurt you.
Regarding recruiting, leaving aside how many scholarships Eddie has had to dish out over his time here, you that great evaluator of talent, I guess you do not like Corey, Deshawn, Jonathon, Nigel, Mike or DJ and Dailey and Isia or their star rankings., Sorry that is not bad recruiting from the clusters--- he came into the program from .!!!!
Please. This is Jordan's THIRD year as coach. And we're getting worse, not better. There is exactly one quality player on the team, and no one but you seems to be excited by the recruits for 2016. It's gotten so bad with EJ's team that I've stopped requesting that the bartender even put the game on. I saw none of the Northwestern game ....and am the better for it. The laughter and smartass comments from the non-RU fans in the joint during those games are just too much. I don't really have any retort. This team is awful...about as awful as any team I've ever seen. And it's Eddie's THIRD year. It shouldn't take that long to at least field a team that's not a total embarrassment. I can only wonder what the high school and junior high school kids in the area think of this program.
It probably doesn't really matter though. From all I've seen over the last few years, Rutgers has zero interest in having a quality mens' basketball program. I think unfortunately we're all just pissing in the wind.
Kbee,you seem like a die hard, yeah it is year 3 but Eddie got hired in April and brought in Etou, and had to deal with the post Rice fallout. Eddie had in going in year 2, beat Vanderbilt at Barclays, Clemson on the road in the Big 10/ACC challenge and Wisconsin where Jack was unstoppable , Etou was dominant on the boards and driving to the hole, and Mack was real good and clutch. He recruited Mike, DJ , Shaquille , all guys with decent recruiting rankings. We get hosed at Maryland right after Wisconsin on the block/ charge call and should have won. Eddie then did a poor job, not insisting Jack stay on the block, keeping Etou from pouting , and not helping Myles. He did fail and no one with those 3 guys should lose 15 straight . However, this year is the worst year of injuries in Rutgers history, especially in one position group, and no coach in America is winning playing 3 walk ons. It appears the suspensions of Deshawn and Corey were necessary to instill discipline into the program . Deshawn was hurt and not coming back this year. In the meantime , he recruited Corey, Dehawn, Jon, and Nigel and Grier as a post graduate in another recruiting cycle. So it is Year 3 but this year as bad as it is and looks , I give him a pass. Next year if nothing changes you have a full roster back, balanced classes except no seniors and 3 recruits with length . I expect drastic improvement . It does seem pie in the sky to me, just practical and realistic.

Again with this guy?
You obviously have no clue how a program is built. The damage is done and now it's time for Eddie to leave. There's no coming back for Eddie. This mess needs to be cleaned up by someone else.
Eddie has zero recruiting momentum and has driven the program into the toilet.

It is mind-boggling that there are still people making excuses for Eddie Jordan right now. I love the guy, as a player both at RU and then in the NBA as a kid, and for what he tried to do coming back here, but he just is not getting it done. There are no if's and's or buts about it. The excuses AND excuse makers are as pathetic who defended Elmer Fudd the last couple of years.. Enough already. This is a f*cking disaster.
Your the clueless one and don't let the door hit you on your way out, you disrespectful fool.
Flood and Eddie and the situations they inherited and their resumes have nothing in common . Your linking the two is idiotic
The use of "disrespectful" and then calling the guy a fool is both hilarious and a personal attack.
Reading comprehension my friend. I said nothing about the situation EJ inherited versus the Flood situation. I'm simply linking the fpisters who were supporting flood until the bitter end to those people making excuses for Eddie. The same posters will be making excuses next year, if he still our head coach, when nothing more than a couple wins come our way. That's my point.
Nuts, you have been on these boards for a while. Tell me why you want to blow up next year's roster? Once that happens , tell me what our record will be for the next 4 years? Finally what is the name of the coach you are bringing in and how much are you paying?

An insult is an insult, no matter who points it out.
Why do you keep saying that if EJ leaves the roster will be blown up?
If we hire the right coach, I would assume we will lose a couple...but blown up? ??
And anyway, I think we can all agree that while eddie had bad luck with injuries this year, he's a flawed coach with a limited ceiling. Hell, him getting us to .500 would be a miracle. And based on what I have seen so far, I am not sure he will ever get there...injuries/no injuries, facilities/no facilities, etc
The guy is a bad coach...and a bad fit here
We have to move on...every day with eddie at the helm moves the objective that much further away.
Down to just a couple of folks now. It will all be over soon.
Yeah,
Not sure how anyone still is on board with Eddie. We've all been down this road before as RU fans, and I guess some will defend our coaches no matter what. When the time comes, I hope Eddie is kicked upstairs and is reassigned as I believe he is a good man and bleeds scarlet.
Okay first off neither you, nor I, know whether or not the roster will be "blown up" if Eddie is fired and, even if it does, he simply isn't made for coaching the college game, it's glaringly obvious, and we're not getting to the post-season while he's here. In 3 years there is literally not a single shred of evidence to suggest otherwise.
I'm telling you right now: next year is not going to be very different, regardless of the roster (which will still lack a lot, sorry...). There are going to be lots of bad losses, lots of "WTF" losses, no post-season, and more excuse-making, for "one more year," as well. If I were still a gambling man and the line on total/conference wins was 10.5/3.5 I'd go heavy on the under.
New coach? Sendek in a heartbeat. The man can coach. Bottom line.

Don't know what he could do, maybe something with P.R., but it would be nice to find a way for him to leave with class.
Are you Eddie's personal butler? You come service him when he pulls the rope. Let me hear you say "You rang?"
And you know this how? The fact that you are quick to say that by hiring a new coach will "blow up next year's roster" shows me you've never coached or played the game or know what kids will do. And let's say for argument sake your naive comment comes true. Besides Corey, and maybe---maybe Freeman who else on this moribund program is indispensable? Laurent? No outside shot. Foreman? Please. Goode? No thank you. Oh, it must be Nigel Johnson then? Who knows until he plays.
And then you're quick to state that this will set the program back 4 years with a new coach. Really? That in itself tells me you know NOTHING about recruiting and you make it seem as if a new coach and his staff will just sit back and do nothing on the recruiting trail. Not only is that absurd it's not even worth repeating.
I don't know who you are or what kind of relationship you have to EJ or maybe none at all. But it's so-called "fans" like you that have driven this program into the ground for decades. You hang onto loyalty instead of logic and critical thinking. EJ came in to heal, and as a loyal son we all hoped he would be a good college BB coach. He's not. And he doesn't need another year to prove that he is. The man is incapable of understanding what it takes to coach up kids, play the fundamentals and the minutiae required to have a winning program. In case you didn't know it by watching yesterday's Northwestern game, EJ did nothing, absolutely nothing to curb or curtail Northwestern's 3 point shooting. Mind you, that's what this Wildcats' team is known for. So, being undermanned, does he try to play zone, which will curtail open looks? No. He sticks to a man-to-man defense and we get pummeled. Any HS coach--let me correct that--any CYO coach would know going in, to stay competitive against a team like Northwestern, one would employ a zone defense. Did EJ? No. And that's only one example of a man in over his head. He's been in the NBA too long where defense is a foreign language until you get to the playoffs. EJ needs to go.
P
You obviously have not played a minute of competitive basketball nor do you understand the game. You are a big message board poster that couldn't' make a layup or understand a thing about how a team is made up . Eddie played man , he played zone, he trapped , he played full court press, but with walk ons it doesn't make a difference. The fact you cannot see it , makes you the biggest dummy in the room !!
You know shit about our program. It has been in the crapper for 25 years and you think a coach , any coach you say will change things . Hold that thought next year and the year after without facilities you are not getting any big time coach here. Then you will be back on these boards complaining about the next coach and asking to cut ties or else.
Regarding your statement about losing Corey or Freeman is no big deal, that shows what an absolute mindless unintelligent poster you are.
Congratulations on your 1000th post. You truly made it one for the ages.
Let's just remember John Beilein beat RU with multiple walk-ons at the RAC last season.

Shorthanded #URI won at Dayton Saturday. Team's effort has never wavered despite its myriad injuries. #Rams twitter.com/RhodyMBB/statu…
this is what a good coach does with an injured team
Dude, the way you insult people and call everyone names is a bit f*cking odd to say the least. People differ on their opinions, deal with it, but try to be respectful of others. We are all entitled to our opinions.
Umm,
No. You're one of the few left who is holding on to the idea Eddie coming back next year is a good idea. I'm sure you're a good guy, but most here are confused by your refusal to see the situation as it actually is.
