I grew up in New Brunswick and started following RU at a really young age, (4...so have 54 years in), and I can't ever recall seeing the very great majority of the Rutgers fanbase as completely fed up with what's going on as now.
I think the reason is that before the GS era, I doubt anyone had any real expectations that we'd ever be able to get things right. There was always hope, of course, when a new coach was hired, but we'd never actually seen what Rutgers football could be like when there was true excitement surrounding the program, genuine talent on the field with at least a chance to play for something important, and what our stadium could be like when it was really rockin'.
Thing is, now we HAVE had the chance to see and experience those things, and the fact that there's a general feeling it's all slipping away due to the ineptitude of the HC and his staff is, quite frankly, sickening, especially to people who've followed RU football for decades and have endured so many years when the team hovered, (at best), between being unbelievably bad and absolutely God-awful.
One thing I know for sure is that I've never seen things reach the point where the fans themselves have started a fund to try to do something that might help get the clueless regime now in place fired. Not even during the Shea era, with all the horrors on the field that involved, did things ever reach that stage. -But the time really has come for that sort of thing, and like so many others, I hope it helps in some way send the RU admin. the message that people have had it with this garbage and won't continue to just sit there quietly and take it.
