How much leverage does GS really have? He currently has no job and, besides RU, how many schools (or NFL teams) are chasing after him? He by no means, outside of New England I suppose, is a sought-after coach.

Strong agreement with this post. As I said, I'm not 100% comfortable with Butch, but I am (and I have been saying this for weeks, amidst the vigorous pummeling delivered by the strong Schiano supporters) absolute not in favor of a scenario where Schiano comes in with the expectation that he is essentially driving the athletics bus.
Bingo. Thats the sort of thinking this program needs. if you expect a guy come in talk about restocking the snack bar, Hobbs shouldnt have fired Ash.ANY new HC would be out of his mind if he didn't let it be known that he wants thus and such.I would not have any respect for an HC that came in as Mr. Meek,thank you very much for the job.
they cant agree to a 9 figure project on the spot. its also bargaining. you say "greg, we think youre the guy, and we hear you that that is what it takes. now let us go back and talk to our guys about how we can get this done". come back and "commit" to it as part of his renewal pending results and buying time. the old we cant give you more money but heres a perfomance based stip incentiveI don't think an indoor practice facility is the hold up as this was already on the drawing board(unless GS wanted shovels in the ground right away). There has to be something else that Greg Brown is concerned with and you have to wonder if it is a deal breaker.
Urban Meyer has rings...NC rings. Schiano doesn't even have a BE ring.Is anyone denying that we need a field house? The bubble needs to go so I’m not sure why so many are freaking out. Let’s be honest, if Urban wanted the job and demanded the field house everyone would say give him what he wants/needs.
that plan is so ten years ago when we were looking at moving the entire football facility over there and allow lacrosse and soccer to take over the Hale Center any plan that takes down or removes one of the two indoor facilities, we need an additional NEW indoor facility just for football while giving the bubble to Lacrosse, track and soccergreg wants that indoor facility where the bubble sits

It very well may not be going down at allSo it’s NOT going down just yet?!
God it’s hard to be a Rutgers fan...what did this school do long ago to deserve this?!It very well may not be going down at all
Yep.He had the best facilities AND players money could buy last season at OSU. Worst defense in the history of the program. Guy is a complete joke. RU should move in an entirely different direction bc all your going to get is more losses and lots of excuses.
Odd that someone would feed this to Politi - what's the point of that? The men who can make it happen were in the meeting.
This is where Hobbs and the big boosters come in. Remember that the Rodkins have given the single largest donation to athletics at $ 15 million dollars. I would imagine that if Greg Brown is involved he is bringing these demands back to these mega boosters and saying, " we have to spend money to make money and bringing GS in will immediately increase revenue but he needs this to really compete. I fully in the camp that this decision will be made by Greg Brown and the Boosters.I don't see how Rutgers can ever agree to that. Even if they wanted to agree, where the hell would the money come from?
Maybe if Greg would agree that they can try to take on a long term fund raising campaign but I'm going to guess he wants an immediate etched in stone commitment.
Funny how the non Cult warned everyone. Now how bad do they want Schiano here? Prove it with their wallets.I get the practice facility, NO QUESTION, but why on Earth does he need The Hale Center rebuilt? SMDH
Funny how the non Cult warned ya. Now how bad you want Schiano here? Prove it with your wallets.
We’ve gotten better facilities without Greg than we ever did with Greg.
Didn't word it the way I intended lol. Never meant to say you in particular were a cultist, on the contrary, you've been more level headed on the subject. Edited my original post.If you recall my thread about me finally accepting the fact that we MAY need to bring him back here I am not exactly a Greg “cultist”
This a negotiation by Greg. He is interested. He has no other head coach options.sleep all you want ,you know nothing about what goes on in RU fund raising needs cause you only contribute with the sewerage that flows from your mouth
I could see it as a way for both sides to save face really. GS...they didn't give me what I wanted so I didn't take it...RU...he's asking for too much we move on to the next candidate. I don't think it makes either side look bad or good...it's just kind of neutral.Who would feed this to the press?
I'm sure there are other reasons as well.
- A pro-Schiano person would leak it knowing the significant percentage of the fanbase wants him. "Do you want us to re-hire Greg? Dig deep into your pockets because we can't hire him without your help".
- An anti-Schiano person would leak this to communicate "We can't afford him. Let's move on".
Hi. How can I help you? Do you want fries with your burger? Thank you, please drive through.This a negotiation by Greg. He is interested. He has no other head coach options.
They likely reach an agreement. Greg clearly interested.
@Knight Shift
How much $ are you in for?I'm reminded of that Quint line from Jaws: "But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter."
If the man wants a field house, get 'er done.
Give him everything he wants. Seriously, everything. Time to get serious with making this a legit football program.This was one of the things that I had established as an initial concern - I know you did, as well.
Put simply, the guy is going to walk in here like it's 2001. His way or the highway. But times have changed, circumstances have changed and "Herr Greg" isn't going to play in this landscape. Especially after yesterday's rather scathing nj.com editorial.
wait and see-problem is people always jump the gun and then blame others--and this telephone game never helpsGod it’s hard to be a Rutgers fan...what did this school do long ago to deserve this?!
bingo.Because Greg has so many other HC offers?
Come on.. he needs us as much as we need him.
Let’s not forget that
Head coaching candidates at public universities with "capital expansion demands."
This is a world gone mad.
I wanted him yesterday, and now I hope he ends up at Florida State.
Built the school on ancient Leni Lenape burial grounds.God it’s hard to be a Rutgers fan...what did this school do long ago to deserve this?!
Hi. How can I help you? Do you want fries with your burger? Thank you, please drive through.
jumping to conclusions as usualuour the guy with egg on your face today. No need to take it out on us.
Sorry, sir. No egg on my face. I reported what I was told, and said that such information is always at risk of being wrong, like the Kyle Flood firing after the 2013 USF game.uour the guy with egg on your face today. No need to take it out on us.
What does it say that one can come to this conclusion? Am I missing something? Thx
