So you think Florida would have interest in Schiano if he had mutual interest ? Absolutely ridiculous, embarrassing opinion. Top programs hire HCs who win, and as a second pass if needed Coordinators from blue blood programs. Period.
Answer my question loser...."Pleae remind us who relentlessly stated that Schiano would never name a starter ahead of Wimsatt? See if you can get that right?"
To fairly compensate him for the job he’s done and the job he will do. If he does eventually leave, it wouldn’t be for he money, it would be for the brand.
I hear what you’re saying. But I’d prefer the rationale to be , Greg would never leave Rutgers because he can get the same support there as he would anywhere else.
Michigan was not made up and you know it. Making an argument that's made up makes you look like a fool! Which we already knew.
Notice that the level of effort isn’t specified and is intentionally left vague. IE what is he supposed to do to fundraise that 50%? It’s given that coaches schmooze big boosters, but that’s about it.
Greg might ne looked at by major brands once he proves he can make Rutgers into a top program.
No, I don’t know that. I believe it was baloney. Who said he interviewed. Him ? Did Michigan ? Was Miami made up ? Did Tennessee not happen ? Did he shine in Tampa ?
And yet he was offered a contract at Tennessee. It wasn't the AD or President of the University that killed the deal but a radio announcer, Clay Travis with false facts that killed the deal.
Seriously?? Yes Michigan AD Bill Martin had spoken about. After the first meeting he accepted it but changed his mind the next morning. The next day Martin talked to Schiano again. Schiano never accepted but he asked for another day to talk to his people but didn't need it. Were you in a coma during that because it didn't fit your narrative??
I hope he is our next HC, and I hope we keep him as DC and associate head coach for that entire time Schiano is here.
What are we really discussing here ? Not whether Michigan considered hiring Schiano 15+ years ago. And not whether Miami was also interested. The question at hand is, do you think Florida would possibly consider Schiano now if he were also interested ?
Anything Schiano related posted by Shelby.
he probably meant that he accused Schiano of likely involvement in the Sandusky coverup, which even as a hater I don’t believe, as an excuse to nix the deal…while the real reason was he just didn’t meet their HC hire success track record standards. Yet he was a more legit candidate for that job than for the Florida job now because he hasn’t won much in all the years since.
Pretty lame dude. You claimed that you don’t believe GS had a legitimate offer from UM. White Bus came back with details. Now you’re moving the goal posts to something else.
No, Einstein. moving the goalpost is what you are trying to do. This thread is about the likely Florida opening, not about my incorrect view that Schiano would stick with his shiny 4 star bust no matter what, a view many here shared, probably even the majority.
Well at least you admitted one of the things you were wrong about.
No you said Schiano people made up the fact he was offered. He actually accepted the job and was supposed to return the next day. And he refused it twice. This is common knowledge from both sides you just refuse to accept because it doesn't fit your false narrative. Talk in the real world sometime
Supposedly, the University Florida BOT is meeting with the expected result that they will Fire their Head Football Coach. Even if they don’t decide to Fire him today, he’s a dead coach walking, and it’s just a matter of time before they get rid of him. And once that happens, it will be a matter of time before Jimmy Sexton, Schiano’s agent, floats his name for the job.
I am always monitoring the college football landscape for risks to our program, which is why I brought up last September on an NJ.com group podcast that we had to extend Schiano and give him a suitable increase in a question to our best writers. I’m thankful this was done in a timely manner, thx in part to articles that Steve Politi wrote, advocating as such. So Hobbs pushed for the extensión and suitable raise, and got it done. Probably his biggest accomplishment in the last year, before leaving.
And consequently, we’ve gotten commitments from outstanding prospects, and are poised to enjoy one of our best seasons ever.
But unfortunately, success can be a double edged sword, especially when in college football, the haves take from the have nots. Rutgers takes from Temple. Penn State takes from Rutgers. And Ohio State and Michigan takes from Penn State. Greg Schiano’s name will be mentioned for reputable program openings, imo, because he has done a tremendous job in turning our program around. In particular, he has the skillset and name recognition to be successful at Florida.
The University of Florida is a Have. They are a selector school which has won two National Championships within the last 20 years, and another in 1996, which is one I attended, in person at the SuperDome.
They have top notch facilities, strong fan support, strong fan attendance, and most importantly, the financial support to win at the highest level. They even have a jet to shuttle around coaches and recruits.
Financial Support is where we are severely lacking. NIL support isn’t where it needs to be and the Fieldhouse, which was a contractual point, isn’t going to be built anytime soon.
This would put us at a very disadvantageous position, if Schiano were to have the opportunity to choose between Florida and Rutgers. Other risks are we don’t have an athletic director and the status of our President is unclear, to say the least.
Florida fans think they’re getting Urban Meyer or Nick Saban. But if those types of candidates fall through, Greg Schiano would be very attractive to them. He’s making a decent salary at $6M a year, but they could afford to pay him $8M. They’d Give him a huge budget for his coaching staff. The Florida job would also carry risks for Schiano. He’d be expected to win right away, even though that team needs talent. Whereas at Rutgers, he could go 6-6 to 7-5 in perpetuity.
So what’s the point of this rambling soliloquy?
We haven’t done enough to support Greg Schiano.
So, If you have any inclination of supporting NIL, NOW is the time. Schiano has said NIL is his #1 priority.
I’ve given what I can, but am also contemplating doing more. I understand that all of us have our budget priorities and that’s fine. This isn’t curing Cancer and I’ve given my tithe to my Catholic Parish.
But if you want to see Rutgers continue to be successful, if you want to build Rutgers into a selector school, and Championship Contender, you have to do your part. It doesn’t happen on its own. Show me a successful football team, and I’ll show you the supporters who make it happen. The Towers and the Garruti’s have done their part. Now it’s on us.
And if you don’t want to do NIL, Give to the RFund. We have to be proactive and worry about these things now, not wait till he gets another offer. Below are the relevant links.

You're the one that made the claim that the Michigan offer was "baloney", and now you're saying "um actually that's not germane to this thread". Okay, so why did you bring it up? Seems to be quite a bit of cognitive dissonance at play.
NIL has changed everything, and if we don’t raise competitive amounts of NIL, I’m afraid this will not be his final stop. Would you stay at a place which couldn’t provide you with the necessary resources to be successful?
I think it’s going to be just as hard to win at Florida and they expect you to win 9-10 games a year or your gone.
Al you are out of the loop. Schiano is not going to any other school regardless of how many times his name is mentioned. I’m surprised you don’t know this by now. Sleep well he’s going nowhere .Supposedly, the University Florida BOT is meeting with the expected result that they will Fire their Head Football Coach.
