Chilly Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 No, I just wish you would be more educated before ya open up your big trap! 852217[/snapback] More educated? You played in the freaking insight bowl last year, and you're pointing to that as your big bowl game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinandjokin Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Didn't Rutgers pay for a bunch of students to fly to wherever they played the Preparation H Bowl last year? I thought that was a pretty cool move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tickets? Airfare, hotel? Everything? Anyways, pretty cool move. I'm surprised the NCAA didn't send in their death squad and find something wrong with boosters paying students way to the game, and force Rutgers to forfeit.

It was fairly cheap, and they got permission before doing anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 Then why are other conferences trying to raid our coaches. 850103[/snapback] Because that's the way it works. Build up your resume at a mid-major, then work your way up the food chain. Need proof? All right, name the last time a current Big East football team played in a national championship game. ...waiting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And exactly - her argument is that the BE has a bunch of new teams - thats EXACTLY why they aren't a top conference now. Thats her WHOLE freakin' point.

You attempted to avoid her point by ignoring what she said. Now you're attempting to discount what I said by saying "BUT I IGNORED HER QUALIFIER!".

IBTG81 Posted November 30, 2006 Author Share Posted November 30, 2006 Jack Arute of Rivals Radio labeled the Miami and Alabama HC jobs as "coach killers", says he thinks that both schools are going to be surprised at how they get turned down by their 'A' list coaches. Of most interest, he basically said that Schiano would have to be nuts to go to Miami, leaving a Rutgers program that he built from the ground up but still has room to soar from here. He mentioned that Greg will already earn over $1 mil this year with incentives, and being the only Div1A school in NJ and NY area basically the sky is the limit with both recruiting and fan support, but especially the media coverage. Also of significance, he thinks that Schiano will be able to use his FL football camps to take advantage of the instability at Miami and bring better FL athletes north to NJ than ever before. He basically said that RU has a better upside and less downside than Miami, and that Greg is smart enough to realize it (that we knew!). On 'Bama, he labeled them an SEC also ran, and said that their proud tradition is lost on most recruits these days, since they haven't been good for several years now. He thinks that they will have to settle for some OC or DC who will just wind up being fired like Shula in a few years because difficulty recruiting and level of competition in SEC, along with unrealistic expectations of the Tide fan base, will exact its toll.

Ramius Posted November 30, 2006 Share Posted November 30, 2006 The retardedness of Ed in this thread has hit holcombs arm like proportions. Rutgers, and the big east, are a good mid-level program that coaches will gladly bolt for a top-tier job. Do you honestly think any of the big east coaches wouldn't ditch their jobs for an opening at say...Penn State or Florida State (both likely in the near future). Rich Rodriguez would gladly jump at the 'Nole job, considering his connections with the bowden family. As would petrino. Dont even bring up alabama or miami either. As you yourself said, the 'Bama situation is !@#$ beyond belief. Between all the sanctions, the fact that the boosters cant keep their hands off the players, the irrational fan base (tho not quite as irrational as you ed) and that 'bama has to fight to get any decent recruits and really have no "home turf" in recruiting, the school is a mess. what kind of school fires a coach who went 6-6, and was onyl 1 year removed from a 10-2 season? Miami is a better option, but that program is in rough shape, especially after the end of last year and this season. Neither of them are particularly attractive jobs. While the big east has made strides in the right direction compared to where they were a few years ago, they arent a top tier conference, and dont field top tier teams. They cant hang with the big dogs. As someone said before, how come the old big east teams dont smack around everyone like they used to? BECAUSE THEY ARE PLAYING BETTER COMPETITION! Now Ed, since you wont be able to come up with a rational response to this, i'll save you the trouble and post your next statement here. "FSU sucks and went 6-6 this year" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
