if the names mentioned for a HC are true Rutgers can't lose

[RUScrew85]

QB Walker
RB Jahad
WR Bryant
WR Jennings
TE Thompson/Patton
LT Dawkins
RG Carter

LB Marshall
LB Alwan
DE Martin-Oguike
DE Reddick
NT Robinson
CB Chandler

All returning.

McGowan @ C for Friend
Nate L Smith @ S for Hayes
Sharif Finch @ DE for Ioannidis

All started multiple games.

Khiry Lucas and Anthony Davis, 2 potential starters in the secondary redshirting with injuries. Anthony Davis or Kareem Ali starts at CB, taking over for Tavon Young. Khiry Lucas, Jyquis Thomas, or Delvon Randall starts at S, taking over for Alex Wells.

We need to figure out 1 LB for sure, as that is a very big loss.
As far as OL, Ahmed and Lofton aren't big losses. Leon Johnson, Semaj Reed, Jovahn Fair, James McHale, Jaelin Robinson, Aaron Ruff are fully capable of filling 2 starting OL spots, and very likely are all upgrades on the OL.

I'm not sure where this narrative came from that we lose all of our starters.

I stand corrected. 13 coming back adds up to 9-ish seniors though doesn't it?

Schiano would be fine with a good OC.

Dabo at Clemson is not a great coach. He is a great recruiter and they went out and spent money on good OC and DC, then let them do their jobs.

"then let them do their jobs" BINGO! We have a winner here

We have heard names like Schiano, Golden, Cristobal, and Rhule

Golden has turned around Temple and changed the culture in Miami. His overall coaching record is similar to Schiano's and should have a similar upside.

Golden changed Miami's culture to a losing one

RU31ttrap: But money IS an issue. We aren't going to pay for a coach that might (and I mean might) get us to an undefeated season. And that's what you're demanding, isn't it? I'm not sure Meyer could get us to an undefeated season, yet that what you're insistent upon.

So who's available 1) we can afford and 2) would want to come here and 3) Isn't a virtual shot in the dark?

Aren't you tired of always swinging for the fences and striking out? Shooting the three when the layup is there? Throwing the bomb, when over the middle is there for 15 and a first down?

Nobody is a guaranteed B1G champion. The only guarantee is Schiano is a solid hire.
