You’re Greg Schiano. Apart from salary, what are your demands?
- Thread starter RUSCFORMERLYRULOU
- Start date
A real coaching budget to hire a real OC.
Does he really have any leverage? The guy completely bailed on the program he built right when we were heading to bigger and better things. He couldn’t get us to a BCS bowl. I’m still a hard pass on the guy.
Yes, tons of leverage. How could you not see that?
I want my house back ...and I want flood’s house too.
Big Ten budget for entire football program, ie, over $80 million
Big ten quality field house ASAP
Complete game day locker room under the south (new) end zone stands.
Unlimited use of helicopters for recruiting.
Yes!!!
Kick those people out!!!
OR
Rent a room for the new president and give Schiano the President’s house.
Is it my imagination or did Hobbs say something about a field house in his press conference?
A party at the Hillsborough Deli to check out all the local talent.
They really could put a President's house ANYWHERE. I do think they should develop that site with a hotel.
Player dorms right next to his house with 24-hour camera surveillance. I'm not sure if he'll demand players and employees be implanted with tracking chips.
The man kept his players out of trouble for the most part. And we learned later that some weren't the easiest kids to do so.
lifetime orthodontics coverage and an axe throwing franchise.
I see Pat Hobbs twice a year: End of Year Review and one other time (TBD) prior to season opener.....
He should demand that the administration not fold up like a cheap card table in the face of the inevitable hatchet jobs from the NY/NJ media. In fact, any coach RU hires should demand that.

Exactly what I am thinking.
More like if you are Rutgers, what are your demands to Greg Schiano?
Rutgers needs better at this point. No need for Eddie Jordan layover hire. Find the right person, pay them. No more buyouts.
I agree with the field house but the game day lockers are coming for next fall. They will be done before the Rodkin Center is done and will have two sets of locker rooms that will be for the visiting team during football and be used by lacrosse on game days as well
If he comes in with ridiculous demands and asks for big money I hope we walk away. He needs to worry about football and let Hobbs worry about everything else.
He could win everyone over by asking for a low/moderate salary and a good budget for his assistants. He doesn't need the money so this shouldn't be a big deal. He could then afford quality coordinators, etc.

It’s amazing that people complain that RU is always cheap yet when it comes to hiring a coach they don’t want to pay the going rate. A HC in the B1G should make at least $3.5mm and probably more. Whether you like Schiano or not, if he’s the choice he’s getting paid market rate, and he should. In fact, any HC we hire should make that money.
A new competent administration that would not bring back a coach for 4 games to save a few million and set a program deeper in a hole.
in all honesty what leverage does he have? He not a hot commodity. Most AD would not even interview him for a head job after the UT disaster. He has a sub .500 record as a head coach. His best year was 13 years ago and the game has changed a lot since then. He is better known today as the control freak tyrant as NFL coach to current recruits. On top of that he still has the Sandusky baggage.

Oh- how I have missed these OP's with no opinion and demanding us to discuss. Sorry- it is annoying and quite frankly- lazy posting
Kind of like throwing your singles on the floor at the strip club...
I don't think he has a ton of leverage to negotiate on personal salary, as he's not going to be in line for any other P5 vacancies. After what happened at Tennessee and the weird exit with the Pats, I don't think many programs or fanbases would really embrace him. So his options would really be to take a coordinator or consultant gig of some kind at a major program or be a HC at a lower level. Neither is as attractive as a B1G HC job. I expect his salary to be reasonable but certainly not eye-popping and he doesn't enter negotiations with much leverage.
What he SHOULD insist on, and what the administration should do everything in their power to make happen, is a substantial budget for a coaching staff. Greg as HC CAN work, but if he doesn't have an OC with an innovative system that kids want to play in and a staff full of dogged recruiters who can dramatically improve the talent level in the program, it's going to fail yet again. A good HC is priority one, but an elite recruiting staff (preferably one that can clean up in NJ) should be priority 1A.

He has only one life to live.
You really think it's fair to ask him to say no to the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pursue his dream job?
What is the one thing in this world you want to do before you die?
What would it take for you to give that up?
Really think about this.
Schiano should feel lucky that a Div. I College football program has any interest in him! Therefore, money should not lead his list. But, his arrogance won't let him see that important fact. And, I can say the same for many on here.....
