I meant generally :Wink:wait and see-problem is people always jump the gun and then blame others--and this telephone game never helps
It is hard to imagine that Greg Brown wasn't at the meeting, or at least kept in the loop about Schiano's demands during it.

Newell138 meet sports forum fans, sports forum fans, Newell138:Wink:Amazing how so many of you jump to conclusions on what the "demands" are. For all we know (or Politi for that mattre) maybe the demands were legit, like academic support or denying access to all NJ.COM reporters.
I was talking about 4Real stating you could “infer” that they didn’t shake hands.
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.
You are angry because your man did not give you what you want, and you want to take it out on somebody.
i.e. no agreement was reached.
According to Politi.
"meeting ended without any decision as officials grapple with what one person familiar with the discussions described as his “significant” demands."
Indoor practice facility speculated.
Board cred? What is that? I never claimed to be an insider or to know any insiders. But whatever makes you happy. Your man is Greg.huh? What are you talking about? Who is my man?
I forgive you. I get your board cred taking a hit.
But times have changed, circumstances have changed and "Herr Greg" isn't going to play in this landscape.
It's simple, if we ever want to play for a Championship, we need championship facilities. I'm sure he doesn't want to be hamstrung by the "on the cheap" policies of the past.
Such comments sure show an even handed non biased view of the situation.
Exactly. Our peers are Iowa, Minnesota, MSU, and NW in terms of football. 7-5 with a chance at something better every 3 or 4 years.We are almost NEVER going to play for a Championship. Let's just set our sights on matching up with Iowa, Neb and Minny.
Maryland has Ohio State Caliber facilities. Why shouldn’t we have the same? PSU is sinking another $70M into facilities that are better than ours. How is he supposed to recruit without an even playing field? How is he supposed to win with recruits that no one else wants? We’re either all in or out.
If RU were to take this kind of advice because they actually are like minded with this guy, they should just fold up the football program because there is no point to it.

Haha forget it. Schiano making significant demands is such a joke. Just hire Butch Jones and be average with him instead of being average with Schiano. What exactly does Rutgers think it's going to do in same division as Penn State, Michigan, Michigan State and, oh yeah, Ohio St? https://twitter.com/CFTalk/status/1192127742248148997 …

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.
Not without mortar he won't. :WideSmile:
God it’s hard to be a Rutgers fan...what did this school do long ago to deserve this?!
Honestly, just hire Butch Jones...F this ransom crap.
Didn't they find remains of a Native American settlement when they were building the new Route 18 bridge over the Raritan to the Busch/Livingston campuses? You might be on to something.Built the school on ancient Leni Lenape burial grounds.
To me OSU the class of the division currently..you take a step down from them and then those in that step down are possibly beatable depending on the year.Right, because it's an iron clad guarantee that Michigan State is going to be a "powerhouse" going forward. They aren't one right now.
I don't think he'd be able to recruit anywhere near the level of Greg at Rutgers. And that's what we need, a big uptick in talent.
Greg knows what it takes to win.
Listen to the man and let's get this done!!!
I'd much rather see funds put into getting the best staff possible. Neither Schiano nor Jones nor anyone else mentioned will be a guarantee of anything until their staff is known.
It seems clear that Schiano is demanding much more than replacing the bubble with a field house. The reason why those projects were so expensive at other schools is that they serve the role of the Hale Center + the bubble. Replacing the bubble alone with a nice indoor facility would be a fraction of the cost.
If Schiano needs full Hale Center tear down as a condition to coming back, that simply is not reasonable at this time.
I have a two words for you. BIG TEN.I actually have somewhat the reverse opinion. I've mentioned Willie Fritz hire by Tulane here and how he was HC at small colleges where at one he even had to drive the bus. The new AD at Tulane had his eye on him earlier in his career at SHSU and when he got the job at Tulane he kept going back to Fritz in his mind. And one of the things he liked was that he knew there were limitations as to what Tulane could offer facility wise etc...but he knew coming from his background it likely wouldn't be a problem for Fritz and would find ways to make it work and be grateful for what he had and that's exactly what happened. No complaints but tried to get it done with what he had.
Will Hall his OC has mentioned similar, same from Matt Campbell, JasonCandle and their Mount Union bunch. They come from places that don't have a lot and don't complain about what they don't have but do what they can to make it work with what they do have. I posted Mike Leach tenet here....take as much as you can with what you got.
To me a school like us should focus on guys who live this theme and mantra. It doesn't mean we don't want more and wouldn't want better facilities and the rest but the focus has to be someone who has a chance to do more with less and is willing to as well. We're never going to be the big boys that's just the facts.
If any of you have switched jobs, you would know that your max negotiating power is right before you sign the contract.
It is best to aim high on the initial negotiation before accepting the job. It's much harder to negotiate once on the job.
I'm fine with Schiano aiming high. He should. As should we all.
This is Rutgers shit or get off the pot moment. A chance to go all in and do what it takes to conpete in big 10 athletics . If they decline and then hire lesser, make no mistake this school will continue to do the bare minimum while misleading a fanbase that gets duped into believing.
Critical moment here
That's provided you have a job/other offers.
No other P5 program or similar is trying to hire Greg Schiano. He is currently unemployed.
