I think you're having fun with us.
 
You have to recall a few things. First Rutgers plowed a lot of money into its program before Schiano became HC.
 
It built a really nice stadium and added additional football infrastructure.  
 
Second, few recall that Doug Graber had developed a solid program that included a number of strong athletes including the QB Lucas, Marco Battaglia and others, before he was fired.
 
I recall one game at Rutgers where last team Graber's team had McNabb on the run and lost in very close game. 
 
Terry Shea screwed up but he inherited a program that was close and well funded.
 
Indeed, by the time Schiano came around the Rutgers administration was fully committed and fully invested in the football program. 
 
So, I think Rutgers was much farther along in the process when it hired Schiano than Syracuse University was when it hired Doug Marrone.
 
I'm pretty sure that Schiano after nine years still had a sub .500 record.
 
And by year two, Marrone was right there with Schiano.  
 
Marrone is a far superior coach and I think the record proves that.
