What would be the minimum accomplishments by Greg to change your thinking? For me, the next step is to have a playmaking and resourceful QB who is a leader who can move the chains.He had fire in the belly to win 17 years ago.

3 Big Ten wins. It would at least show some progressWhat would be the minimum accomplishments by Greg to change your thinking? For me, the next step is to have a playmaking and resourceful QB who is a leader who can move the chains.
Go out and win games. Go at least 6-6 with 3 conference wins. Is that asking too much in Y4 ? How is that “utterly stupid”?Amazing some of the utterly stupid things people say

He gets paid no matter the results. It’s really a scam. It’s not a stretch to suggest he wanted to come back to boost his financial status. He’s really more of a politician than he is a hungry HC looking to build a program which ironically was built pretty good before he bolted to TampaWhat’s stupid is that you basically said he is resting on his laurel and coasting
Yes….that is a stupid thing to say

The most absurd thing about them is when they try to pretend that Schiano's critics are impatient and have unrealistic expectations, as if expecting the team to score anything at all against a middle-of-the-road program in the last game of the 3rd season is in any way unrealistic. It's cuckoo land to be anything but dismayed by such bad play.GS apologists have to be worse than gonorrhea

It’s a 16 year rebuild. Not fair to judge him in the first 8. Gruninger’s fault. I predict things will really pick up in year 10. Good chance at the #9 Big10 bowl in Winnipeg.

Kansas was 9-60 in the 5 years prior to Leopold showing up. Got to a bowl game in his second year without needing another team to drop out to play in it. Their future looks pretty good.you do realize he took over a program that was 9-39 the previous 4 years.
3-21 the two years prior to his hiring.
He might not have built Rutgers into a winning program, yet, but did make a bowl game in 2021, even if lower standers RU won enough to be eligible for an invite and go to the Gator..
Some might try and put that down, but can't deny the fact RU went toa bowl in Greg2's second season.
He did that when he abandoned ship a week before NSD to go to TampaHe had fire in the belly to win 17 years ago. Today the only fire is to fatten his bank account and sail into retirement
Yes and by then this Schiano-apologist fan base will forever be awestruck walking past shiny 30 ft tall GS statues at every stadium entrance and parking lot, even the game day lots at the renamed Gregory Schiano Athletic Center. I heard there’s already a movement for Schiano Field @ SHI Stadium. He started it.The 2040 season will be when things start rolling.

What he’s saying is, he did nothing to deserve his contract and is well aware he’s fleecing the university.Hell of a narrative that you created in your mind
Fleecing ?What he’s saying is, he did nothing to deserve his contract and is well aware he’s fleecing the university.
We‘ll have to defer to your experience on that.GS apologists have to be worse than gonorrhea
shut your claptrap 😉when talking out of your butt 😁GS apologists have to be worse than gonorrhea
And if he doesn't, we begin the slow march towards sending the dinosaur to the tar pits and hiring an offense first HC like a modern football team.shut your claptrap 😉when talking out of your butt 😁
This year G2 should prove the haters wrong by putting a competitive tean on the field that shows the promise of future winning seasons.
He has "extenuation circumstances".Some people are perpetually miserable
Lots of negativity in this thread. Some of you must be real fun at parties
well the 3-4 hours before kickoff certainly areThat might not be a great comparison. Rutgers football is far from being a Party Experience. ; )
How're your sores doing? Get your Penicillin shot yet? 😉from the apologist who believe in Greg, what is your timeline from today? 1yr, 3yrs, 5yrs?
simple question, why deflect?How're your sores doing? Get your Penicillin shot yet? 😉
I'm not deflecting. I'm teasing.simple question, why deflect?
About the Gary thing.About the thing? Or the other thing?
Haven't really thought about any candidates, since Greg contract is long. But I've been calling for KC Keeler, since Greg first leftWho do you suggest we replace him with? And don’t say the guy at Kansas … and Deion is not leaving Colorado for Rutgers.
I'd throw a bag at Mike Elko at Duke in a couple years if he doesn't get poached for a top tier SEC job.Haven't really thought about any candidates, since Greg contract is long. But I've been calling for KC Keeler, since Greg first left
Army rarely fumbles pitches because their players and coaches understand the fundamentals of their offense. That's been missing at RU.The problem is that the B1G is the # 1 conference for OL
Ohio St, Wisconsin, Iowa are among top 10 for NFL players
Other B1G teams are not far behind
RU still has BE OL
RU cant just run straight at the LOS
RU ran the option mutation with Pacheco
They knew he couldn't run into the LOS so they strung him out to the sidelines hoping he could burst a space.
The problem was that instead of RB running out to the edge and taking a pitch the way Army does
The coaches had a handoff from QB - what a FB would do in option offense
So Pacheco was taking a handoff from QB as if he was a FB but then he was trying to scamper out to the edge.
This goes to the constant fear of "mistakes" that permeates RU offense
Obviously they didn't trust the pitch to the edge - -funny because Army rarely fumbles pitches.
So they were running a "dive option" mutation that never worked because B1G defenses are too fast
RU was designing a pitch-option that was just making "broken plays" on purpose.
year 5 winning season, year 4 might not be a winner but sure signs of improvement seeing the way team plays .from the apologist who believe in Greg, what is your timeline from today? 1yr, 3yrs, 5yrs?
It's certainly not as good a winning a conference championship which was the other aspect of that sentence that you conveniently chose to ignore, remind me again what year Greg has ever won a conference title? Let alone taking 2 sperate Programs to NC's. Lord knows also we're never seen a guy with proven track records of success at lower levels turn around notoriously losing programs in the P5... Oh wait, there's that Leipold guy who'se doing exactly that!Big fish in the little pond. I’m not surprised he hasn’t gotten a bigger offers with that resume. Oh yeah, I think GS won the NATIONAL coach of the year. But I’m sure that’s not as good as conference coach of the year (not sure what conference Citidel is in). GS was offered the Mich job and got a NFL HC job. Not sure how that stacks up against JMU and ECU. I go back to year 4, tied for 7th in the AAC with Navy.

ummm, just let the record show that if a team has "many talented players" and goes on a 1-8 stretch to finish the season, the coach should probably be fired....So get lost and stop posting you will not be missed! The team has many talented players you are just too stupid to see it!
I can't attend games in person at this point anyway, so I'll watch on TV and if the game gets out of hand, go do something else.About the Gary thing.
Like you, I wasn't wild about him coming back in the first place. I think he's a career underachiever. I think his management style is better suited to an episode of "Mad Men" than to a 21st century football team with new transfer rules and NIL and social media pervasiveness. I think his coaching style is equally outdated. I believed, 3+ years ago, that the shine would wear off his apple by year 4 and that the fan based would begin to feel the deja vu of lacking incremental progress.
The only thing that's changed between then and now is that now I genuinely don't care. If the team performs poorly this season, I'm happy to take my 35 years as a season ticket holder, pack them away with my home VHS collection and go boat shopping.
Funny thing - I was at a family event on Sunday and my nephew-in-law, who is an RU grad and a big fan, was asking me about this coming season. We agreed it probably won't amount to much. Then he told me about a former co-worker who had Jets season tickets for years and decided to save the money, buy a boat and watch the games on TV floating at anchor. "Best decision he ever made".
It could very well be that, a year and a half from now, I'm doing the same thing. You're more than welcome to jet down to the Bahamas and join me in watching us get crushed by half the teams in the B1G. 😉
things boring over at BWI Sam?Like I've said for years with enduring criticism in response, Schiano is a relic who reached his peak in coaching long ago. If people are expecting some kind of miracle renaissance under GS at 57 years old with his stubborn, outdated ways and consistently poor gameday coaching, you have a lot of mental anguish in your future. His career is rife with failures interspersed by occasional mediocre accomplishments in a substandard conference a generation ago. At this point, it's just humorous to watch him attempt to navigate modern college football, and then give his standard litany of excuses after each of humiliating loss. It's even funnier we have fans that still think he's some kind of program saving football genius.
