Message: [QUOTE="Townie72, post: 101417, member: 780"] I have just sent a letter to the Washington Post stating that I am not interested in becoming the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a member of the Supreme Court or the next Archduke of Sarajevo. The fact that I am not a credible candidate for any of those jobs, is of no importance. By saying I am not interested, I can fool a few people into thinking I might have been actually considered. With his lackluster record, there's no way Schiano is a candidate for any good college job. Unlike the desperate Rutgers fan base, Big Ten ADs aren't stupid. The guys record is poor and is loaded up with wins over the worst IAAs and lots of What losses. Greggie knows there's no way he'll get a job like this, so he says he isn't interested. It's a transparent ploy. Schiano's great talent is as a shameless sales person. He takes recruits from Florida on field trips to NYC and suggest to them that somehow this is an extension of the RU campus. With all those campuses and those buses ferrying students between them, its almost plausible. Schiano saying he's not interested in the Illinois job is akin to his statements on winning a NC. It's pure nonsense. He's got two huge problems. The first is that Rutgers appears pointed directly at C-USA II. Their future conference situation is an upcoming disaster in terms of both "visibility" and revenue. And he's the one that insisted on the stadium expansion RU couldn't afford before the latest conference shake-up. Of course, he continues to BS the gullible by telling them "Rutgers will be fine" suggesting that there's a ticket to the B1G or the ACC or The Big12 that he knows about and is on the way. The other big problem is that the "someday" he's been telling people about since he got to Rutgers seems no closer than it was 10 years ago. It was always an empty promise, but the dopey Rutgers fans --- most of them new to college football --- bought it. And now some of them are starting to ask when will this "someday" actually get here. Most of these them, however, are still grateful for Schiano's lifting them from horrible to mediocre. But even they have thought that "mediocre" was a station on the way to being great. They didn't realize that it was the end of the line. [/QUOTE]
