I respect the fact you love and support your team.  Good fans always do, through thick and thin.

I question your logic and reason.  You credit Schiano with the ability to get great recruits, I disagree as most of his recruits are overrated.  However, for the sake of argument, I will play your game.

Schiano has never done anything with the recruits he gets.  Sure, he pulled off a 10 win season - once!  In a run-dwnn Big East.  His won-loss record in the run-down Big East was far less than impressive for a great recruiter.

Schiano never won a Big East title outright.  In fact, Rutgers never won a Big East title outright.  And Schiano coached in the run-down Big East.  Not an impressive showing for a great recruiter.

You have not transitioned your arguments to address the fact, the proverbial elephant in the room, that Rutgers is now in the B1G East.  Schiano's won-loss record is built solely on beating historically bad teams and teams in down periods.  He has no top 10 wins, top tier bowl wins, sole conference titles, and no significant wins, except Louisville ( I disagree this was significant, but I am playing your game).  How do you translate his past and great recruiting into a sustained winning program against the B1G and P5 teams?

There is a common disclaimer when purchasing financial investments that past performance is not an indicator of future returns.  This made with a stable fund manager, stable corporations, known competitors, etc., while Rutgers is in a completely new world for Schiano coaching wise.

Like I said, I respect that you love and support your team, but I simply do not see your arguments holding any sway.
