- true, he put in eleven years. Could have opted for greener pastures after the '06 season, their strongest effort.
- however, there's something called "advance notice". Excepting termination, if you're planning to leave, let the team know in a timely manner. The fact is,the day before he left, he recruited a Baltimore high school player. You think the players he signed in the eleventh hour, chose Rutgers because they thought they were going to play for the man who visited their home?
- So the final chapter has been written. Are they better than they were in the years prior to 2001? Of course. Although that wasn't exactly hard to overcome. Just remember former HC Dick Anderson, had some strong seasons without the resources, budget.
- After 2006, it was not hard to recruit. You didn't have to beg anyone to come to Rutgers. Some of the players went all the way to the NFL. But what did the program do? 8-4 against such powerhouses as North Carolina Central, Florida International.
- West Virginia. What was their record against them?
- Going to bowl games: I remember a time where, after your 2nd loss, you were eliminated. Today: seventy-two teams go to bowl games. Big deal! The Papa John Bowl. Meineke Car Care Bowl. Frito Lay French Onion Dip Bowl. The Tidy Toilet Bowl. Whoever heard of these?
But the fact is, when you put so much money into a program at the expense of of other interscholastic sports being eliminated, 8-4 in that league, falls short of expectations.
