Or Rutgers overestimated you as a coach. Sounds more and more like a one hit wonder to me.

Just say it coach, "we suck"

As did Rutgers with your salary

Agreed.

Translation: I should have gotten out and taken the money while I could!

Ha!! LOSER!!

All the rumors about him eventually taking over Penn State when JoePa retires sure have subdsided lately.

you think he's kicking himself for not taking that Michigan job?

mobywv, I know you are mad he didnt take the Michigan job....you would still have Rich Rod, not the overpaid in over his head Bill Stewart.

Don't write him off just yet. After coming off of 3 straight bowl seasons, and only the 2nd, 3rd and 4th bowl games in school history, he should get a little slack. While he may have underestimated the team, I'm interested in how he corrects things by next year. If they are still a subpar team in 2009, then you have an argument, but see how effectively he reacts first.

How many starters did he loose from last year? I really have not followed Rutgers very closely (knowing team personnel), so I am curious; I've been too busy getting pissed at USC choking against OSU, Stanford & UCLA over the last 3 seasons.

My queston is what does he think he is doing to make comments like this to the press. Not the best way to motivate your team. Sounds to me like a coaching issue.

Rutgers is a joke and thats the bottom line. People are falling off the Rutgers band wagon like it's the titanc. I have lived in Jersey my whole life and I'm sick and tired of people backing Rutgers football. These clowns jumped on the band wagon when they realized had a football team. I'm sure some students had no clue Rutgers had a football team till they started winning. That was a waste of state money building that stadium.

NDRUSS you sound exactly like a bandwagoner who is deciding to get off the bus now. I've been a rutgers fan for years, and true fans stick with their teams even when they suck. And yes I have been through the 1-11 years when the offense was predicatble because it was run run pass punt. So yea get off the wagon you're the kind of fan us true fans don't want anyways.

Schiano took a program that was worse than probably some of the top high school teams in jersey and made it a team that has a chance of contending with big name schools. I for one am still excited, does not mean i'm not frustrated or disappointed in this years showing, but I will stick with them and hope they turn it around for 2009.

nah, we're still here and still think he's a damn good coach. Keeping Rutgers on the map is no small feat year in and year out. As far as the PSU job, it's Tom Bradley's to lose or I should say if he wants it.

I would not blame Schiano for all of RU's woes. For one thing, if Kordell Young was healthy, you would see an offense thrive at RU. But without him there is no running game, and as result you have a one-dimensional offense where Britt is covered heavily every play and linebackers sit and wait for the pass. One coach I would blame at Rutgers is the Offensive coordinator. Bill Stewart - now there's an awful coach - basically handed Rutgers that game the other day in the fourth quarter electing not to punt, but RU's confused, uninspired offense screwed it up.
By the way Rutgers fans/bandwagon jumpers. College football is not like MLB. Take off your New York Yankee tinted glasses and understand it takes time to build a program. I'm not a Rutgers fan, just sick and tired of ignorant people in New Jersey who think they are.

Excellent motivational technique there, Coach Stupid.

Is it OK to stop pretending that Rutgers is a top tier football program yet?

The amount of work, time, commitment, and good luck it takes to turn around a Rutgers, or a Duke, or a Vanderbilt is incredible. It doesn't always occur in a straight line shooting upwards. I have no doubt that Rutgers' team and fans are disappointed by this season's results thus far. But Schiano has brought them far. There's simply some slippage this year. I believe he has the intellegence and work ethic to get them back up again.

They can still go to the weedeater bowl if they win all their games! GO RUTGERS!

Build the stadium and watch the talent come.Better facilities = better team.

Build your new addition to your stadium,build top notch facilities and the talent will come,maybe.!!!
