Football Rutgers set to hire Kick Ciarrocca as OC
- Thread starter Knight Shift
- Start date
Who were people seriously expecting?
The only splash namse I can think of who were/are available are Matt Canada and/or Paul Chryst.
Didn’t expect much. As the delays mounted expected even less. Would have rather had a successful play caller from a lower conference versus a retread. Also would rather someone that offers a little more on the recruiting trail.
exactly, I’m actually surprised we got a guy who’s been the offensive coordinator at the Power 5. This job is not appealing at all.
probably a dozen guys we could hire from the Mac conference that would run a more exciting offense. Schiano picks Gleason's older brother
WOOOOOWWWWW Someone with a Schiano connection…
GEE WHAT A SURPRISE!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂

Brutal. This program is so lame. I was excited for Schiano 2.0 but now think he’s totally out of his league. I mean, Tulane beat USC this year. We could never dream of doing that. I’ve been following for 20 years now and we’ve had a good QB for like 2 years max. Until we can get a QB, we’ll remain a joke and unfortunately Greg has proven he can’t develop QBs. Such a weak and depressing hire.
Oh and don’t bring up NIL for our lack of ability to be even a .500 program. Doubt Tulane is coordinating strong NIL deals.
Did I miss something? Who's turned the job down?
Minnesota went 9-4 last year.
I REALLY LOVE THE HIRE!!!!!
If Kirk brings Ibrahim with him and he magically has two years of eligibility.

Positive is we’re spending some level of money despite what people think of us having none. Negative I’m not sure KC is worth it but we’ll see.
From the article:
The deal with Ciarrocca, who is currently the offensive coordinator at Minnesota, has not been completed and requires board approval, but it's expected to be finalized in the upcoming days. The commitment is expected to be significant, according to sources, as Ciarrocca was slated to average $950,000 over the next three years in Minneapolis after recently signing a new deal there.

just a little. Honestly don’t mind it, he’s pretty easily the best player on our offense. However problems will arise when we have to pass the ball.
"top coordinator" ....
Ciarrocca has established himself as a top coordinator through his work under P.J. Fleck at both Western Michigan and two separate stints under Fleck at Minnesota. He's served as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at both stops. Ciarrocca's reputation is as a sound coach who seeks physical offensive lines, balance and playing mistake-free football.
So obviously Schiano trusts him enough to let him own the offense and trusts him as a teacher.
My question is who called who? Did Greg seek him out or did Kirk call Greg.

In his first stint with Minn. 2017 - 2019 Minn went 5-7 7-6 and 11-2. If over the next 3 years RU would mimic that I would be happy.
70th would’ve gotten you to a bowl j/s
Only winning team they beat was Syracuse in the Pinstripe bowl. They had the easiest schedule and most experienced team in the Big Ten.
Well they Had “The Drive” against us !! 99.5 yards with coach Kirk outwitting the schiano defense . Perhaps , the greatest college drive we have ever seen !
Lol exactly. It's not an exciting hire but he's a proven P5 coordinator for winning teams.
No, he was brought in here to change the offense to a spread. Greg to that point had recruited for a pro-style. It turned into a lot of Jabu/Sanu Wild Knight. Everyone's now darling, Flood couldn't recruit a lineman if his life depended on it and we wound up with one of the worst offensive lines in the history of the NCAA.
Tom Savage showed all the promise in the world before Kirk Ciarrocca ground his career into shreds.... dude convince Schiano and the clown fanbase that Chase Dodd was better than Tom Savage.
Yes
A competent offense gives the D some rest. Which makes them better. Resulting in better starting field position and better opportunities.
I like the hire. Kirk is a good fit for a blue collar team. Which is what we are.
I'll take lunch pail guys all day.
Unless somebody suddenly throws $100mil NIL dollars our way. That's who we are.
All of a sudden, They’re happy to be 70th ranked
It's not lap dogs; its all we have. Do YOU have the money to buy out his contract? Or contacts you can reach out to that can buy him out? I mean, you guys kill me with this crap. We have to support who we have. If Schiano does nothing in the portal, or doesn't give the OC his own room to make up a gameplan and call his own plays, then Schiano will meet his own end, and he'll deserve it, then we can hire someone else. I'll be all for that. I hope Schiano does well, but I'm no lap dog; I'll get rid of him in a heartbeat. I want to win; have had season tickets since I graduated in "90, so been through all the crap.
At least the OP spelled his name right.
Not so much by someone else, who still hasn’t corrected it.

This is a desperate hire in my opinion. Retreads rarely work out.
