Would Cristobal look at Rutgers again?
- Thread starter northeastNebraska
- Start date
Didn't Cristobal run a pure spread Offense at FIU??
Not wanting to put the cart before the ox, but if we're gonna be looking for a new coach, I want him to have impeccable PRO I credentials. THIS is Rutgers Football identity and I for one would not like to see it change.

We'd be hard pressed to find better than MC unless we can get a Hermann/Rhule type or similar young energetic future star type to stay here for awhile..

Thanks for clearing that up Al. Never knew that. What an insulting and classless statement. I support Rutgers more than most of your former classmates. You can stick that attitude up your self promoting butt.
Simple question. Did you know this when you made the Huggins video?
Then their not our kind of guy to start with....we want someone whose NOT afraid of a challenge.
I had no idea that you have personal met with, analyzed and reviewed all the other work that hundreds of other college football coaches have done in regards to academic follow-up/importance.
Congrats for obviously doing just that. (or, could it be that you are a cristobal fan boy and you want him and only him to be the next RU HC?)
Ironically, FIU under Cristobal was one of the first football programs to be penalized because of low APR scores and even lost a scholarship because of it.
LOL...Don't forget the Italian knit shirt over the High roll...and burgundy pants,silk socks and chicago box haircuts..Sorry but beings we were in it the yr it started 3 yrs ago i think...i couldn't figure not remembering...I obviously missed the point of the year..shoot....i was born in 51...you might be older than me..Yes I was born at St Micheals hospital in the heart of the North Ward near Bloomfield Ave but raised on the fringes in Belleville.
I didn't mean to insult you and i appreciate that you support Rutgers. But just because you support Rutgers doesn't mean you understand Rutgers Context. No one who understands how this program was built asks the question:
What the hell has Cristobal done other than dress well?
It shows that you don't understand Mario's contribution to Rutgers Football. Mario, Mark D, the other coaches on staff and ultimately Schiano worked tirelessly to build the foundation those first three years, which were the toughest. Mario understands the culture, heck he helped implement it.
I don't want a return to the graber/shea years where we played too many freshmen year after year, because too many players were flunking out. Have you noticed the number of freshmen playing? Its very few, because the vast majority are redshirting, which they should be. One thing that Flood got right was the maintenance of the APR. Its a shame barnwell was an academic casualty but his situation is anomolous. We're better off keeping Flood, rather than hiring someone who won't maintain Rutgers players' academic standing.
I and many others would feel a greater degree of comfort with Schiano, or one of his disciples, because they understand the Rutgers Way.
I was also born in St. Michaels a decade earlier. Born in Newark, at 6 years old
moved to and raised in N. Bergen. Most of my relatives were born in Sicily, his parents
came over with his older bothers and sisters in 1909. my father was first one born in
America.
High roll shirts with the metal stays, iridescent pants, and pointy black shoes. Joe Faccione's House of Fashion on Main Street in Orange was the go to place.
And to top it off a suede winter jacket that you couldn't wear if it rained or snowed lol.
I don't care about hundreds of other football coaches. FIU doesn't have the resources to provide the academic support that we have at Rutgers. The HFC can't do everything, its a team effort.
what is most important to me is maintaining our strong performance in the classroom, recruiting well, developing players, and giving us the chance to be the best we can be. Schiano, or one of his disciples have the foundation of knowledge to do that. In many ways, Flood was perfect for our situation. Its just too bad that this had to happen. Ultimately, I would like to maintain our culture, the way it is, if that is possible.
Do you know which Dr brought you into the world....Dr Flanagan whom i met on other business there 24 yrs later as head of the hospital...not sure its still there but my uncle Mike went to the HS of the same name before Essex Catholic opened its doors..
Pink on Pink highrolls and knits and Sharkskins and of course our Cabretta leather jackets..lol..
I'm going to partially side with Al here. The situation at FIU has to be taken into account when discussing Cristobal's record there. I think he actually would be a good candidate, but I certainly wouldn't want to start there. He would be a good fallback option if our dream candidate(s), whoever he or they might be, didn't work out.
But I generally prefer to wait until there is a job opening to discuss such matters.

That fanbase would revolt if they hired a position coach from Alabama who got fired from FIU.
I don't think he was fired entirely for his performance. There was some problem between him and the AD.
I don't get the people who want frost. He runs a speed spread style offense. We do not have the personnel for that and would have to completely drop Russo out of the picture at qb if we take frost amongst others that are already on the team that do not fit that offemse
Because he's a better fit than just about anyone else you can come up with, aside from GS. He'd come at the right price and has the background, including recruiting connections and aptitude, to succeed here. Finally, he's recruited well here before and helped build the infrastructure which ultimately made us successful. He knows the culture, that academics are primary. He can continue building up Schiano and Floods efforts, with minimal changes. We don't need a tear down, we need someone who can build on top of what we already have. Rutgers can take the next step with someone like him, if the school decides to make a change.
