Politi on Schiano

There is only one way to change this entire narrative, start winning some games. USC lost to MD today. USC is now 3-4 on the season and are 0-4 in the B1G! I don’t think RU will win out there but it does indicate how competitive the conf is.
 
Never will understand how any Rutgers fan supports his content. All that guy likes to do is start shit. For every nice article he writes, he will write 3 if it has any possibility at dumping on the school.
Mostly right. But once in a while he throws an Eric legend piece or the Aaron Rodgers piece
 
Schiano was flustered in this presser. Untypical. Maybe it was because his ad was banging the staff

The inside story of what Rutgers’ #Chop4Change is doing for social injustice, racial inequality and voting awareness​

Chop for change Lol

“Voting Awareness” what does that mean? Voting for non citizens? NJ already requires no ID to vote

I’m confused with the chop4change helmet message

I’ll call my shot. Unacceptable. Schiano is a meathead. He also doesn’t really understand how stats work based on his postgame presser. He should take a multi variable calc class during the offseason.
He does know non-variable offense, if we’re being fair.

Biggest complaint is coach’s stubbornness to admit going for 2 so early - was wrong! He points to analytics charts and says it was the right move - doubtful that applies so early in the game. And then to criticize “armchair” coaches who haven’t played for making judgments, when he is using a chart written by such!
It is merely common sense to get as many basically guaranteed points as possible until number of possessions are limited. There were other possibly questionable decisions during the game, but those can be attributed to football instincts & experience.
The 2 point attempt is NOT one of them.. he says it’s math, uh no it’s not, because the algebraic value of number of possessions cannot be determined so early in the game. And then if you are to make a decision supposedly determined by math, then do not belittle those intellectual non players who criticize!
Bad decision came back to haunt him, as after last RU TD, a two point attempt could have tied it!

Shelby detests the man as a head coach and his obviously minimal chimp intellect generally. But Shelby makes every effort to be fair and balanced….so, while the # of possessions can’t be accurately predicted so early, he did say that he saw how easily UCLA was moving the ball and scoring, and he knew his own team can only score on time consuming drives, he needed to try to get all the points he can whenever he can to minimize the margin.

He botched the explanation and I’m sure he didn’t understand any metrics given to him, but it does sort of make sense to try for every point he could get based on the way the game was trending.

By that point, he knew the boat was sinking and was already desperate.

The problem is that even the worst teams in the Big are not Temple or South Florida. Every team is good and has top line Big Ten players. To expect Rutgers going from one of the worst teams in the country to 8-4 in the big is unrealistic. Sorry If that doesn’t jibe to the Rutgers should be National Champion crowd! It will be a process !

Does he have a chart for how many times his team has been unable to gain 2 yards on 4th down last 4 games? These aren't Howard or Akron D lines he's now trying to run thru especially when they stack the line (something we are apparently incapable of doing).

Ok. So then what teams are Rutgers ahead of?
Since it's about a comparison of peers in the Big Ten.
Wasn't this the year we demonstrated how we were ahead of those other mid-tier Big Ten teams?
In Year 5 are we not a mid-tier Big Ten team?

Since OSU, PSU, UM were off the schedule?
What happens when those "automatic losses" come back?

Plenty of programs have turned around bad teams to play at least competitively over the course of several seasons. The fact that we have almost the same performance as we did in our 2018 and 2019 seasons is frankly unacceptable.

USC has talent but hasn’t put it together. We we actually don’t have deep talent now that our starters are decimated and the coaches have fallen short of development.
 
The starting player names might change but the results are basically the same.Rutgers needs the easy out of conference games to have any chance for 6 wins.Dependance on 3 star recruits and player development hasn't worked against B1G Ten competition.

Did Greg steal his GF? Yikes

Schiano brought this on himself as far as this article and if there is any subsequent fan backlash. No one asked him about “casting ballots”, no one forced him to say “take your shot”, no one forced him to say “we’ll get there, I promise you” when it’s fair to question that he should already be “there” in year 5. This was an unforced error on his part, Robert Saleh/Sirianni like unforced, no need for it and all done by him as he went out of his way at the end to say all of this. Don’t focus on opinion, the fans or the media, focus on your opponent. He chose to go with condescending tough talk the whole presser, he is not Bear Bryant/Joe Pa/Bobby Bowden/Nick Saban rolled into one like he is some sort of college football coaching legend with no restraints. It really was like Saleh talking about receipts and we know that didn’t end well. A little humility after two total and complete ass kickings for his defense would have seemed like the way to go. He’s on a 3 game losing streak with no end in site and he came across as angry at the podium……angry at fans? Angry at the media? Maybe be humble and direct some anger at yourself. Direct the anger where it needs to be focused and belongs Greg, and that’s toward the opponent.

Who knows, but he was trying to claw back an additional point, because again he was already desperate. He was just incapable of explaining that. And as usual his ego got in the way and it came off as arrogance
 
"Rutgers has a defense that can’t stop anyone, a coaching staff that lacks creativity ..."

Indeed, how many teams want KC for 1.5 m (more than Holloway)?
It says a lot that GS looks at KC and sees a brilliant football mind

Nobody wanted him at lesss than 1/2that. He was scheduled to make $625 at Minnesota. They took him back from Penn state at a discount from when he left. Schiano bid against himself to get him. Minnesota didn’t up their package. And we waited nearly 4 months to secure him too.

I think he was an analyst at WVU for a year after he was fired from PSU and then Minn hired him.

Schiano learned how to bid against himself from Hobbs, who bid against himself in hiring the head coach not a single other place had any interest in
 
Politi is a no-talent waste of oxygen and a weasel. Given all his vicious attacks on various aspects of RU athletics, I just don't understand why any RU fan would support him by clicking on his articles. He would make shit up about his own mother if it got him clicks or recognition.

He doesn’t undermine the program like the HC does. He’s balanced, Mildy just doesn’t read the positive stories.

Nah. He’s a weasel. He’s not balanced at all, that’s laughable. Balance is the last th/ing on his mind.

His hatchet job on Hobbs was the exact same factless BS you see in grocery store tabloids. Balanced my ass.

He has no talent for writing, no talent for investigation.

You’re ignoring the elephant in the room. The guy who has no talent for coaching making 6M a year and more each successive year.

Politi didn’t miss a single tackle or drop a single pass.

Nice deflection attempt, but totally irrelevant to the topic of Politi’s utter lack of talent.

Wouldn’t it be great if someone started an “investigation” on Politi? See how he likes having someone trying to make a name for themselves by spreading rumors and innuendo about his personal life. Social media makes it very easy and entirely untraceable.

What embarrassing twisted habits does he have that the “public has a right to know about” since he’s a public figure?

You lost me. It’s not about ‘right to know’. It’s news. Did this affair not happen ? Fake news ? He’s a public figure and it’s not up to him to decide what gets reported on.

Were you also upset about the Lewinsky/Clinton affair news. Was the press out of line ?

Was Nixon unfairly exposed ? You’re logic is ridiculous.

Sure, cry foul if the press reports lies but that didn’t happen.

Frankly, you’re embarrassing yourself by suggesting the affair is off limits for public consumption.
 
Just to clarify, the fans & members of this board are allowed to complain about Greg & the team and point out the errors and bad calls he made but the sports writers, who actually get paid to do this, are not?
True. Most here bemoan the PSU cult but are very protective of their own favorite coach and reject the press’s accurate view of Schiano’s failures.

Nobody knows if it happened or not. Either way, it’s none of our business. Clinton should never have been asked about his sex life. Nixon committed a crime, lots different than sex between two consenting adults (in Clinton’s case) or speculation about sex between consenting adults without any evidence (in Hobb’s case).

There is no proof of an affair in Hobbs’s case. You’re embarrassing yourself by treating rumors as fact.
