[QUOTE="SoCal_GT_Fan, post: 373127, member: 365"] Just to add to Yomanser's comments about Greg Schiano, here's an article from the NY times about the low points of the program: [URL]http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/11/sports/college-football-rutgers-seems-stuck-in-a-vortex-of-failure.html[/URL] And here's an article about the high-times: [URL]https://njmonthly.com/articles/jersey-living/leap_year/[/URL] Rutgers at one point or another was discussing going to a lower division in football. Serious discussions about it. They were that bad. They were getting routinely beaten by Div-1AA schools. Just read that first article from the NY Times and you get how inept they were. Literally when Schiano got there, there wasn't much FBS talent on the team (travesty since New Jersey is a pretty talent-rich state for its size. I would say it has more talent then the whole northeastern states combined), there were budget issues and people were not willing to spend money on the football program, and Rutgers sees itself academically as something of an IVY league school (a bit delusional if you ask me). He had A LOT of work to do. It did take him a good 4 years to right the ship, worked his butt off bringing in better recruits from within the New Jersey area but also from Florida (recruiting ties from his days as the DC of the U). He did develop talent and there were a good number of players who went to the NFL (Anthony Davis, Ray Rice, Brian Leonard, I think the Pats McCourty to name a few). The job he did there was short of amazing. He made Rutgers relevant. Now, I can't speak for his personality or why things didn't work out in Tampa but I think that 68-67 record at Rutgers is a bit misleading and required some context. [/QUOTE]
