In no particular order. #1 Push the administration every chance you get to upgrade facilities,and keep up with the arms race that is college football. #2 Pour as much money as you can into recruiting bigger portions of the country. If kids from NJ want to go elsewhere, so be it,once you establish a winning tradition, their be knocking down your door to come. #3 Dealing with the media can't be underestimated, not in this tri state area. Expect, and be prepared to handle attacks from the Star Liar, and go on the offensive against them, to show their silly agenda. It will go a long way in telling recruits and fans, there is a new Sheriff in town. I think 2 years from now,maybe even by next year if things break right, the culture around Rutgers Football will be as near 2006, as at anytime since.
 
1.Don't read this board.
2. Rutgers fans think they know a lot about football,and everything else, but never have so many known so little about so much.
3. Make sure recruits don't read this board.
 
1) Keep the hedges in front of the bubble well trimmed at all times
2) Tuesday night is fusilli night. That means it's FUSILLI night-- not penne or rigatoni night.
3) Talk to the administration about building you a house. Can get a sweetheart of a deal!
FAIL

Avoid the pork roll/tyalor ham debate. Just stay away from it, don;t even go there.
Rutgers is in central New Jersey and people in the south think it's in North Jersey and many people in North Jersey think New Brunswick is in South Jersey.
It's Exit 9.
 
Is it a bit tougher to be successful at Rutgers? Absolutely!

But in my honest opinion the number 1 reason is the Pro Market region. In a 5 hour driving radius we might have as many as 50 pro teams in various sports. Many sports enthusiasts in the area don't take college football seriously.

I firmly believe that the number 2 reason is the Institution and the State. The institution wants us to be successful doing it the right way. However the way faculty and fans define success is rather different, and the State is reluctant to pour money into the program to legitimately bring us to big time status.

Finally, my favorite phrase which I coined - Rutgers, a Tale of Two Fanbase's. The fanbase is staunchly opposed giving the media ammunition to feast on the program whether it succeeds or fails. The moment Lane Kiffin and Rich Rodriguez were mentioned you had the Sippy cup crew come out in fierce opposition while the Can Crushing, Beer Guzzling crowd were in favor.

In the end, Monsignor Hobb and Father Barchi decided to take the high road and hired Deacon Ash. So there you have it.

Cmon guys, just having a little fun.

1> Learn the Alma Mater.
2> Go with the "2006 style" uniforms
3> Don't schedule West Virginia
 
1. Don't say its a process, or someday our best will be good enough to beat the best. They are still killing me over that.

2. Go visit the Cook campus, you will be pleasantly surprised how nice it is, and they have a Farm with huge pigs to remind you of Iowa.

3. Engage the students as much as possible. Do everything you can to get them excited. When they are into it, 10k students will help you win games.

1) can't offer you any advice on the spread, because I don't know how to defense it.
2) where are the grease trucks?
3) make sure your players don't get " dinged"
 
Actually, Coach Ash can use some of Schiano's own feelings about NJ recruiting:
"How about the kid just can't play, but he had a tremendous team of people who promoted him? Even at Rutgers, I made a mistake of the pressures of, 'He's a New Jersey kid.' And everybody is saying, Well, if you let him get out of the state. And in my heart, he's not as good as this kid that's a two-star."
 

You're not a people person . . . are you?

RU fans are cray cray...
NJ is cray cray...
The RU screw is real!
 
Free chicken dinner Fri nights at Chabad House
Life will be better if Hobbs wears a red tie at all times
If all fails, you can get $50/pop at the sperm bank

Times sure have changed. Kids used to sell their blood to getting drinking money when I was in school.
 
Avoid looking for excuses for your players not performing (they don't need it and are used to avoiding the spotlight).....and shed players that tend to make them.

Find a way to get the local media to learn about RU football (they really know very little and need help).....use the media to your advantage vs running from it.

Beat Penn State and Maryland in Year One (it would show they team is playing well late in the year).
 
1) Tell the press to go screw themselves when they act like assholes...and they will.
2) close your practices
3) Get a helicopter

#2 is a very intelligent point. Hopefully Ash/Hobb's can figure out how to make this a reality
 
Does this guy do ANYTHING other than respond "fail" to posts he doesn't like?
I think that's pretty much the extent of his repertoire. And my guess is that if he keeps it up, eventually he'll get banned for his efforts. Which I think would be too bad, to be honest.

Because he's become part of my happy place. A FAIL from the fail-meister is like comfort food. It makes me feel that all is well in the world. I would miss it now.

And think about him. I figure everybody needs to find something they are good at to be happy. He's really quite good at posting "FAIL" a lot. It's almost like he was put on this Earth to do that. So I would feel bad if the one thing he's truly gifted at was taken away from him.
 
1) Let RU fans know it's a process when they ask when RU will be in the playoffs.
2) Let them know RU will be in the mix when they ask that question again.
3) Let all College Football fans know: "RU's best will someday be good enough to beat the best"
when talk of a National Championship comes up.


4) The Star Ledger is your friend [roll]
 
1. Prepare your teams with film and hard work, don,t waste your
entire summers like I did on trick plays I did and it got my butt kicked
game after game.
2. Stay away from gimmicks, coming on the field running though a inflatable
helmets. Wood chopping
3. Stays away from cliches, like keep chopping, work in progress, empty
cupboards, we are family, that's the first time I played that coach.
4. Let your coordinators coach.
5. Don't leave a week before signing day.
6. Don't eat up the entire budget on yourself, let
RU spend money on good assistants.
7. Don't spend all time on uniforms, painting the cinder block red.
8. Don;t guarantee your OC,s son The qb job first day of the spring practice.
9. When you finally let go of Ohio ST, don,t go on TV and tell the whole
nation these players all terrilble, because your will need them the first year
or so, if you put them down like I did, they will quit on you, I did it and lost games
80 to 7, and others by 50 to 60 points.
 
If you anticipate a punt and send the return team out but the other team runs their offense onto the field, don't be shy about calling timeout to get the proper team onto the field.

Running the same exact play every time a certain player is on the field does not constitute a package.

Let the players enjoy the game once in a while.
 
1 you don't need to tell the fans you want to 1-0 this week, we all know the objective is to win
2. Key to the supply closet are under the desk.
3. I used too many QBs, Flood used too few. seem if you can get it right.

#4. Hit the Food Trucks every chance you get.FAT CATS RULE!!
 
"no really, you need to take a ticket before you get on the Turnpike"

"The college is in New Brunswick. But, you play in Piscataway"

'Yeah, Rutgers Camden and Rutgers Newark are completely other schools. But, Livingston, Cook and Douglas are not".
 
1. do not schedule west virginia
2. do not schedule west virginia
3. do not schedule west virginia
 
Honestly do you add any value other than thping Fail....the Fail comment on everythread is the "new fail" 14 of your last 17 post say only that.........maybe switch your name to "unoriginalknight"

Adds nothing, already been on ignore for a while.
 
1. If you think for one second that even a small decision could be delegated, slap yourself!
2. Never play West Virginia.
3. A Victory formation? Let it go.

and
never play Miami, Virginia, ,New Hampshire, Boston college, Buflanova. Viginia tech.Fresno.St.
 
1) yes the canon means something and is part of our tradition.
2) yeah, that is everyone in the band.
3) you don't have to go undefeated to keep (most of) the fans happy. You just have to win a great majority of the games you should, play the big boys tough winning a few here and there, and win your share of the rest.
4) They are very tired of being embarrassed.
5) If you win they will go crazy for you.
