Life champs of the Big Ten

I hope Rutgers either hires a coach worth a damn or do the right thing, try and join the MAC.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:00 AM ^
Rutgers is 1-3 against MAC teams since 2012
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:21 AM ^
Well, shit. I got nothing for you now my friend.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:58 AM ^
...FCS?
November 2nd, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
I'm in the minority on this, but I'm totally fine with Rutgers being a perpetually-incompetent doormat. Our division is already hard enough, it's nice having one guaranteed tune-up game midway through every season.
Every conference has an awful team (see Kansas, Oregon State, etc). I don't buy the argument that Rutgers is actually embarrassing/hurting the Big Ten
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:05 AM ^
Butch Jones is actually a very solid coach, he’s not a world beater but he would elevate Rutgers. He’s a very solid recruiter.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:07 AM ^
He's also a guy that publicly thrashes his own players because they defend a woman that was sexually assaulted and harassed by other teammates. Fuck Butch Jones.
November 2nd, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
I didn’t get into his character
November 2nd, 2019 at 3:22 PM ^
Exactly! Helping and supporting a rape victim was considered betraying the team. Butch Jones can go to hell.
November 2nd, 2019 at 9:07 PM ^
Let’s not be so quick to judge. We’ve had our own issues with Taylor Lewan and the dumb ass punter.
November 2nd, 2019 at 12:00 PM ^
Elevating Rutgers to what exactly? 3 wins?
November 2nd, 2019 at 12:02 PM ^
5 wins is a good year for Rutgers
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:05 AM ^
Oddly enough, I think Jones... Oh, never mind. He's a crap person and shouldn't be coaching anywhere.
I really don't know what available candidate could do anything redeemable at Rutger. They are in so far over their head with the B1G it's not even funny anymore. They will never attain a level of respect that even Purdue and Illinois can get in the conference.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:09 AM ^
Why would anyone take the Rutgers job? I would take any group of 5 job like Colorado state or FIU over Rutgers. I just don’t ever see them being successful enough to get more than 6-7 wins as long as Michigan penn state and ohio state stay dominant.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:25 AM ^
Colorado would be an awesome job. I would have turned down a much more prestigious (ivy) academic job had boulder offered.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:56 AM ^
I think the reason they didn’t offer is because you couldn’t read the application...too bad
November 2nd, 2019 at 12:01 PM ^
Colorado State isn’t in Boulder though...
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:46 AM ^
RX said Colorado State not Colorado. Can't you read.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:12 AM ^
He doesn't have an Italian last name. That shit won't fly in Jersey.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:31 AM ^
I should apply then. I don’t know shit about coaching, but I’ll give it a go.
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:32 AM ^
Well, as this news has made the rounds, Tennessee fans have been nothing but complimentary regarding Jones, as some of you may have seen on social media....
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:38 AM ^
Where is Schiano at, they havent been the same since he left? Just think, the B1G could have "choppin wood" and "row the boat" all in one conference. Hooboy!!!
November 2nd, 2019 at 11:59 AM ^
Why do we want Butt-gers to have a good team/coach?
Just so we have 1 more rival?
I hope all teams except Michigan lose all games.
Exception - Slippery Rock.
November 2nd, 2019 at 12:06 PM ^
Maybe so they don’t embarrass the conference on a weekly basis...
November 2nd, 2019 at 12:23 PM ^
Wonder if that means Schiano has told them he’s not interested.
November 2nd, 2019 at 4:33 PM ^
Can’t blame Schiano. I’d rather be a coordinator on a contending team than relegate my career into nothingness at Rutgers or Maryland.
November 2nd, 2019 at 1:33 PM ^
I am all for reducing the Big Ten by at least two teams (you know which), but assuming that is not going to happen, I am happy to have a couple breathers in what is otherwise a pretty relentless yearly schedule. So, yeah, Rutgers can suck forever as far as I am concerned.
November 2nd, 2019 at 4:32 PM ^
Butch isn’t a terrible coach. Rutgers could do worse. I live in TN and some UT fans already wish they stayed with the Life Champ
