Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers caps off season with Maryland game

This is one of those games where you ask yourself ..,

Will UMD get more TDs than RU first downs?
Will RU get more penalty yards than yards?

2 first downs in a half … I know it’s the B1G, but come on we should be better than that even by accident.

Losing the guys we’re losing next year how exactly are we supposed to go bowling? Holy moly man… Maryland isn’t even a good team, we just take suck to another level

These games are often crazy. Could easily go the other way in second half in my opinion...

Would Urban take IOUs for a salary? Maybe he would consider doing it pro bono? 🤓

We could never afford anyone as that level so we'll never know; just a dream point of which there is a serious question of how real is the RU Screw!

Hello!

Is anyone here watching the game on Amazon FoxNow app? The app is putrid. Constantly shuts down during commercial breaks.
 
This team has given us 0 to root for. 6 3 and outs. Play calling is pathetic Nunzio Schiano
should be fired at halftime.

FIFY
HC is over his head. We were sold a bill of goods.
 
Not the answer? Garbage tight ends and playcalling is horrible. And throw more on lst down.

Is the consensus here still that Gleeson was the problem ?
Gleeson was absolutely “part” of the problem. Was not the only problem. There won’t be development on that side of the ball until Schiano gives up his micromanaging ways. Which more than likely won’t happen.

He could because he can recruit just using name-recognition. His first recruiting class would be top 10. And he can attract top assistants. The excitement level would be huge, so we’d probably even produce NIL money.

And he can obviously coach.
Meanwhile our 2023 class is not even Top 50
Sad
 
In the final game, Wimsatt has shown everything he's learned from the coaches this year. In other words, nothing.

Can Nunzio make some halftime adjustments to get the offense kickstarted?

2nd half is his final exam to nail down the OC job.

Hobbs didn’t want him initially. When the fanbase uproared is when Hobbs obviously had interest to save his job
Exactly. Hobbs was shamed into hiring him back and now we're all paying. But hey, wait till next year, we might just win 5 games.
 
I'm not so sure anymore.
Jonathan Smith has won 7 and 8 (maybe 9) games in years 4 and 5 at Oregon State

Clawson at WF has gone to a bowl 6 out of 7 years (pandemic year they missed) with 7 and 8 wins those years and 1 year an 11 win season

Mike Elko at least 7 wins this year at Duke in year 1...they won 1 ACC game over the last 2 years

Lance Leipold 6 wins and a bowl in year 2 at Kansas, a team that averaged less than 3 wins for over a decade

WSU has made a bowl in 7 out of 8 years iirc(pandemic year missed) and that's including after a controversy over vaccination with their last coach that led to the firing of some staff in season, they had 8, 9, 11 win season in there too with Leach and Dickert currently has a 7 win season

ISU is struggling this year and Matt Campbell was a hot coach for a time but before this year they made 5 straight bowls with 7-9 wins for 5 straight years

Bielem 7 wins in year 2

Leach is doing respectably at Miss State...7-8 wins the last 2 years.....Mullen, 2 coaches ago had some really solid or better results there too

In some of these examples you can't say they're consistent yet because enough time hasn't passed. Point is you can get some sort of respectable results and if you happen to have the right guy possibly consistent respectable results. I don't lose hope at all seeing what's happening around CFB. If anything I have more hope than ever, whether it's GS or someone else doesn't matter. You just keep trying.

Well, there aren’t too many Meyers out there right now. There are really only 2, maybe a couple more, coaches who could instantly overcome RUFB’s national perception among recruits.

It’s not like it’s easy for ordinary coaches to do or we’d have done it already.

Seems to me the only different thing NC is doing is the stupid langan sweep that loses yards every time. The rest is the same.

Could. I’ll have to check the forum to see as I’ll be watching the MBB game, get to see a lot of the bench players today.
