Fluck conforming, social media or bowing to critics.
Not sure I'd categorize that as courage.
Maybe stubbornness.

There’s not a bigger Rutgers fan on the planet than Bac, he wants Rutgers to do well and succeed every bit as much as Al…so there’s that.
You’re opinion is also valued, so there that too
Keep in mind 66, you don’t come across on this board as Mr. Sunshine given the way you criticize fellow fanatic RU fans constantly
You make a good point. There is a spectrum of fans:
Always positive, sunshine and puppy dogs fans- @rutgersal is in this category. Bless him.
Mostly positive, scream at other fans for not being positive -I can be in this group sometimes, but @ru66 and @Yeah Baby tend to fall in this group
Mostly positive, but not afraid to criticize or complain- there are a lot of fans in this category
Neutral, objective fans - @rutgersguy1 comes to mind
Devoted fans but harsh critics when things go wrong - these are not bad fans, just vocal and want better
Constantly Negative and never have anything positive to say.
Trolls
The only ones we could do without are the last two categories. All the rest are all fans and have a voice and a place at the table.
While I don't agree with extending GS now, it's not a crazy idea.
Not long ago, the standard contract was five years. Year three was the year of decision. The "fire or extend" decision was generally made then.
Schiano has an eight year contract. What is his year of decision? I would say year five.
Is it crazy to extend him after Year Three on and eight year contract? If so, then it's equally crazy to fire him after three, and there are many on this board who would do that.

I don't agree with this statement. A few, maybe. Not "many".
And @rutgersguy1 (who is one of the more rationale posters on this board) has pointed out that it is very rare for a coach to be granted a fifth year after four losing seasons in a row. Greg 1.0 survived 4 losing seasons, but in the modern era, it is rare to not get fired after 4 in a row.
After the news of KC’s contract, I’d take a firing after year 4 off the table even if it was a losing season. I don’t expect the school to pay off KC’s contract and GS’ that quickly. They will likely have two years to show what they got.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking after I posted. Too much $$$$ to swallow, and not sure a donor would step up with that $$$$.
You might want to look in the mirror. Al is a thousand percent smarter than you.
What if…the offense is as bad or worse?
Greg gets an extra year if promoting Nunzio at 750k. He now brought in a $$$ top 5 OC in the nation.
There has to be at least a marked improvement. And even a slight improvement would have gotten us 6 wins this year.
For his experience and the money paid- KC needs to have already seen what he can do with these kids.
And to be honest- it should be enough for him to have the balls to tell GS to get the hell out of his meeting room.
Where I do think you are right- money invested by Rutgers = neither going anywhere.
I don’t find bac to be super negative about Rutgers but he does have a weird “machoness” (your word).
Seems to have good insights on basketball.
He’s probably too busy with his “bros” on the CE board to read this as there has been much really awesome owning the libs in the past 24 hours.
I think bac has always been a little anti schiano but he’s a good fan. If the team earns it bac will give due credit probably go a little overboard if anything.
I wish I could ignore BAC in everything except basketball.
I do know he is actually. Great fan for Rutgers but he is actually a complete AH in everything except his basketball knowledge.
kinda weird that you take every chance to attack him. Why don't you just put him on ignore?
Firing him after three would be crazy, but not sure it’s equally crazy. At least there you could point to the results as a reason. If you extend him you are pointing to ???
What is Al who said we would win a NC in 6 year when GS returned. I am not joking I remember some said it but can’t remember who, just seem like something AL would post.
Who identified bac as a " bad" fan? I discussed his and others' style when the team is down- it sucks. And as for calling out fans that contribute with their mouths rather than their wallets , any smart person knows what RU needs to help it succeed and its not words. And many of those that do make efforts to give in good and especially bad times feel likewise.
His math makes no sense. He says in 2025 they will average 30+ points a game and have 1500+ rushing yards and 2000+ passing yards for 3500+ yards in a season.
So I looked at college teams that averaged 30+ points a game this year. You are gonna have to dwarf 3500+ yards to average 30. Clemson last year averaged 33 points a game. They amassed 3,300 passing yards and 2,500 rushing yards. LSU averaged close to 35 and had 6300 total yards.
If RUAl's prediction of 30+ points a game is to come true, they are gonna have to way better than his yardage predictions. Way better.
Unless the RU D will be some dominant that the RU offense operates on short fields like 95% of the time. LOL.

Half our points will come on pick sixes and blocked punt returns
DId the critics here just go knee-jerk reaction to seeing teh rutgersal name (I almost did that). Read the post.. it is very reasonable, IMO. He never even discloses what "breaking out" in 2025 means.
High yardage is correlated with a high amount of points scored but a high number of points scored is not dependent (caused by) on high offensive yardage.
By 2025, I expect to have a Top 10 Defense, perhaps even #1, and hope to get our share of points blocking punts. We were #37 in Yards allowed for 2022.
Dude, I can guarantee if RU only has like 3500-4000 yards of offense in 2025, there is no chance they will average 30+ points.
You are opening yourself up to charges of "moving the denominators."
the way things are going , having only a 6 game regular season games might wind up being
true.
Another 10 will be added with the playoff set-up the NCAA uses to expand playoffs every time a school claims it was treated unfairly when playoff teams picked
Al might be ahead of the crowed when it comes to College Football and Rutgers 😁
😝
#1 defense is CFB by 2025???!!!
Jesus Al, you skipped over Crack and went straight to PCP!
