I agree. NJ produces so many excellent football players and if Rutgers is able to secure at least half of them, Rutgers could be a very dangerous team in the Big Ten
Well, a 5-7 Brady Hoke-coached Michigan, but yes they did. 2014 was a very surprisingly strong season for the Scarlet Knights before they started totally falling apart. Have a veteran squad seasoned from competing hard in the Big East definitely helped them that year though. No Rutgers team since then has had that luxury. Plus, the Big Ten East Division is a lot tougher than it was 5 years ago, so Schiano has a huge mountain to climb.
He is simply correcting the narrator of the video who said Rutgers has failed to beat Michigan since joining the Big 10 so I don't know why you are arguing.
I hope Rutgers gets back on track. It'd be cool to see them do well again. They're the "Birthplace of College Football" so they really should be a good team.
RUTGERS scheduled for decades a mix of opponents that now participate in the IVY and PATRIOT leagues so au courant BIG TIME COLLEGE football is not on the porogram's DNA. Besides FRANK BURNS only GREG SCHIANO has had success there worth mentioning beyond NJ's boundaries. Best of luck to RUTGERS in B1O.
HJG HJG uh yeah I know that what I was saying was UNC had so many opportunities to win that game and shot themselves in the foot every time. Essentially summed up the entire John Bunting era. So glad Mack is back.
Do you think that the fall has a lot to do with recruiting? Look at Nebraska. Doesn't matter who Neb hires as HC, they will never recruit the same as they did when they were in the Big 12. When they were in the Big 12, Neb used to recruit top players from TX and OK. Now in the Big 10, they compete badly for top players on the midwest (players would rather Ohio T or Mich). With Neb out of the Big 12, TX and OK players are no longer interested in going there. Lack of top recruits has led to lack of success on the field making it less likely to attract top recruits.
Generally a good recap, but it was odd that you mentioned Langan as a transfer QB, but not Vedral, the recent transfer QB from Nebraska who is now the presumed starter.
Funny, I actually was at Rutgers' 2019 season opener against UMass when they came back and ended up blowing them out. They looked pretty good at the start, and then fell off the rest of the season. I seriously do hope the program becomes more respectable in the long run
7:40 To elaborate, players were robbing students at gunpoint and Flood pretended not to notice even though I know that at least one assistant coach found a gun and weed
Just discovered your channel and I like the content you’ve been doing, keep up the good work. I’m a Utes fan so I hope someday in the future I can see a video about the rise of Utes football (hopefully they don’t fall in the near future lol)
Rutgers Football has had a rough last half decade, but things may be starting to look up. How long do you think it will be before they make their next bowl game?? Thank you guys so much for watching as always! Leave a suggestion in the comments on a player/team you want to see covered in a video! See you guys next time!
@@maxdeborde6772 I am sorry but I think it will either be 2025 or 2030 the big ten is just way too rough for Rutgers and they still don't have good enough recruits and players to compete yet in the big ten but this is my opinion.
First of all I’m loving the videos Second of all i think it would be cool if you did a video like this on Maryland football they went from 3 straight 10 win seasons in the early 2000s to acc mediocrity then to being the one of the worst teams in the big10 along with Rutgers
User Name yeah they’ve always produced good nfl talent and always recruit pretty well too since the Maryland-DC area is loaded with players but they haven’t really put all that talent together to win since the acc days when they had Stefon Diggs, CJ Brown Etc
Oh yeah it’s been rough, take it from someone who sat through 78-0 to Michigan and 56-0 (I think?) to penn state. It’s been a rough stretch for this team but I’ve got at least some hope that things will get better. I miss went we had Grant because at least he’d provide huge highlight worthy plays. (Was also at the game he broke his leg).
@@939sports7 I know he’s a qb now.. just saying he’s not going to be an nfl qb.. but I’d bet a lot he ends up in the nfl as a te.. similar career to kelce in college so far
What happened? They joined a conference they have no business being in, competition wise and geography wise. The real purpose was so the Big Ten Network could pressure cable providers in NYC into carrying their channel (and ditto for Wash DC by adding Maryland). But fewer and fewer people are paying for cable tv now anyways. It's like the equivalent of putting characters in a superhero movie just to create more merchandise tie ins, even though they don't serve any plot purpose.
When they had Mike Teel at qb ray rice at rb and Kenny Britt at wr they were fun to watch. I’m about as far away from them as possible (Oregon) and they got my attention back then and were fun to watch. Sad to see them fall off
I'll tell you a fun fact about Rutgers football. Their starting QB in the 2018-2019 was a true freshman named Artur Sitkowski who was the BACKUP his senior year of HS at IMG. He backed up Zack Annexstad, who was a WALK-ON at Minnesota. Maybe if you want to win games you should get actual players
Their recruiting this year is awesome, and they will be fantastic in 3-4 years love underdogs like this team...Also, a big investment into the program go knights
Rutgers moving to the Big 10 really hurt their football program. At least their basketball program is looking really nice. They were in the top 25 before March Madness.
Ever since i found this video, and watched more of your videos from the past. Im subscribing, but can you make a video about Michigan State bc that would be really cool in my opinion
What’s weird is that the only college football game I ever attended was Louisville VS Rutgers in either 2013 or 2014. Louisville completely destroyed them
Great video, again. I think another good video to do would be the decline of Pitt football. They were one of the top programs in the country in the 70s and 80s but have fallen off a cliff since and haven’t been able to get back to that point. If you do a video on them and need some info/backstory, feel free to reach out.
Came for a recruiting visit that was cool with a couple of other guys from Florida (i graduated in Jacksonville). we all came in a group and just kinda toured the campus and facilities with some of the players (shout Mo Sanu). it was cool,but then later, Tom Savage came in and he got a highlight reel on the titantron, a swag bag that was monogrammed, and just a bunch of other stuff that wasn’t offered to us . Like, show us who you really want.
The major conference realignment year provided them with money for their transition. But it never came with consistently productive or winning seasons.
The problem was that Rutgers thought the realignment would help them get out of state recruits. What was really going on is/was the Big 10 knew that there’s a stupid amount of NJ talent and could get more influence if they got Rutgers. Rutgers basically got conned. The state has the lowest percentage of any state retaining college prospects and prospective recruits coming out of high school (me included... as a regular student). I mean, imagine if they could’ve retained Kyrie or KAT, for example?
"the Ash hired proved to be a backfire"......... understatement of the 21st century. Great video - but it's not that complicated. Flood did well with Schiano recruits, but could never recruit any where close to the same level (and sorry - Big East football was as good or better than ACC football at the time). Ash could neither recruit nor develop - he was a waste. Schiano has already improved recruiting massively.
Lots of Jersey kids going to better football schools in the Big 10, PAC 12 , Big 12 & else where. Not many choosing to stay close to home. They, I feel, are going where they have better exposure & the ability to go pro. Same thing has been happening to Florida & Texas & Cali. These States are not a big of pipeline for the schools in those States., like they used to be.
It’s really sad, Jersey is a great area for football & they have great support out there. I think Schiano is going to at least fix some of the issues at the school & gain more in state recruits & in time they’ll be respectable.
@@JKJ002 Jason, the issue is that Chris Ash came in and completely ignored the NJ HS coaches, not even bothering to visit some of them during his 4 year tenure. He didn't build relationships and could not navigate the NJ landscape and culture.
Northeastern schools outside of Penn State simply have a hard time fielding nationally competitive teams anymore. Most of the best high school talent (and certainly the most speed) comes out of the Sun Belt, especially Texas and Florida, and it's been that way for over a generation. Kids in Texas and Florida as well as much of the rest of the Deep South train year-round and are enmeshed in a culture that exalts high school football above all else. There might be a good number of kids with talent in Jersey and the Tri-State area but there isn't the concentration of talent because there's many other activities and sports these kids are in. There also aren't the same facilities or opportunities either as the Sun Belt.
I'm positive a lot more Jersey kids would opt for Rutgers if they were even DECENT but they've literally been a dumpster fire for almost a decade. Like I'm not an athlete, but living in NJ I probably would have seriously considered going to Rutgers if they had a fun team to watch back when I was deciding on colleges.
I wonder what happened to ole miss. They went from close to a natty to being not bowl eligible. Hope you could make vid about this. Also love your content
@@vikingsbuckeyesfan um I am sorry but I really think it will be at least another 100 or 200 years there is no way rutgers can compete with ohio state or even get to the conference championship
". . . while rutgers made the jump from a weaker conference." the acc was a joke back then. before they poached teams from the Big East, WVU had more total BCS bowl wins than the entire acc. losing schiano was the death knell for rutgers. i guess people don't understand how important he was to RU's success. he was a solid coach and a complete maniac recruiter, especially in talent-rich new jersey. he's already made strides in the recruiting game this off-season. rutgers will be relevant again. until he decides to leave, of course.
Terry Shea went 11-44 in his 5 year tenure before Greg Schiano was hired, with many games over by halftime. He was a west coast guy who had no understanding of the dynamics in NJ HS recruiting. He left the cupboard bare for his successor.
2004 and 2010 were outliers due to accidents. 4-7, 2004, traffic accident involving a drunk driver caused the loss of 3 DB's after starting 4-2. Greg Schiano spent every waking moment he could by Dondre Asberry's bedside until he was no longer in critical condition. We were not a strong team, but without that loss we would have chalked up at least another 1-2 wins. 4-8, 2010, Eric LeGrand neck injury leading to full paralysis happened during the Army game which brought us to 4-2. The team was never the same after that.
The Big East was definitely not a weaker conference through the mid-to-late-2000's, but at the very end (before Rutgers' jump to the Big 10) with the exodus of so many teams the conference was gutted.
The comments about 2015 and the players constantly getting into trouble was incorrect and over blown. There were 3 separate incidents - one happened in April of 2015 involving a group of players and football alumni who were with an ex-player who got involved in a fight over a parking space in which he severely injured a much smaller student. Because NJ has certain laws on the books for incidents that involve more than 8-10 people, all of those present at that time were eventually charged. The second incident involved 1 player, 1 former player and several other students who were in a burglary ring that ripped off drug dealers. All of the players involved in these 2 incidents were arrested in a coordinated procedure by the local prosecutor on the Thursday before the first game in 2015. These players were suspended from the program, eventually all but 2 were reinstated. The third incident involved their star WR Leonte Carroo and his ex-girlfriend after the 3rd or 4th game of the season outside the stadium. Charges were filed against him for assault after she confronted him, but eyewitness accounts exonerated him. That didn't stop him from being suspended for several games.
RUTGERS whiffs consistentky on 4 and 5 star in-starmte high school recruits. Reminds me of TOM SEAVER -- the needed top NJ recruits -- against overmatched coaching staff.Until that changes losses will mount to heretofore unknown heights versus MI MS OS and PS. RU might play 20 seasons at this rate with 0 -80 collective record versus that quartet.
I really thought they'd get better eventually. Even thought they could be a trap game for top teams in the league. Wow was I wrong. But yeah every reason you gave is exactly what's going on. No one wants to play in the B1G east division.
I've said for the last couple of years that Rutgers joining the Big Ten was the greatest thing to ever happen for Indiana football. It's given them the needed sixth win to go bowling multiple years now, and their recruiting has improved incredibly. There's more excitement around that team than I've almost ever seen. Combine that with Northwestern's disastrous 2019 season, and the Hoosiers really have momentum now.
NJ kids are leaving the state because they grow up dreaming about playing for the Giants, Jets, and the Eagles, it's not like that in places like Georgia where kids grow up wanting to be Bulldogs.
Rutgers should have stayed in the American. The only reason why they are there is because the Big Ten wanted the "New York market" They could have gotten that more with Syracuse than the have with Rutgers.
When Syracuse was kicked out of the AAU, that pretty much blew their chances of being invited by the Big Ten. And Syracuse is 5 hours away from NYC in the 83rd TV market in the country. Rutgers main campus is 35 minutes away from NYC and their Newark campus is 10 miles away from NYC.
"...its suprising to me the New Jersey recruits are going elsewhere..." Have you ever been to NJ? Lived there? That's your answer. Plus, Schiano poached a few Syracuse committs after Pasqualoni was fired. He rode those players, and did well...then they graduated.
Rutgers was good for 3 years in the late 2000's. Other than that they have never been good. Their fall is the equivalent of falling off of a step stool.
Tom Jurzynski ..never been good ? ...1980 played #1 ranked Alabama in the meadowlands both teams were 4-0 going in ..Bama escaped with a 17-13 win...Bear Bryant after the game said we won the game but Rutgers Beat us. They went on to win back to back national championships.. Year before we we beat Tennessee 16-7 at volunteer stadium..Took down Louisville who was #4 in 06..to name a few games that a GOOD team played...to say they were only good for 3 years in the late 2000's is Bullshit ...
@@jimchironna8075 you lost to non division 1 William and Mary the next week after that Alabama game. I mean if you consider 7-4 or 6-5 seasons good than knock yourself out.
@@tomjurzynski5407 Yes we did..big let down..we fumbled 4 x inside the 10 yard line going in..out gained them by 200 yrds but lost. So your saying 7-4 or 8-3 is not a good team..What do you consider good ? 9-2 ...10-1..
Should be labeled, Rutgers Football is Still The Same. Had a couple years blip of success, but it is back to normal. On top of that, they were in the Big East. It was kind of a pseudo power conference. Greg Schiano will never win in the Big 10. Rutgers will never win.
they need to get the NJ guys, the high recruits, they turn out great football players every year they just don't get them
I agree. NJ produces so many excellent football players and if Rutgers is able to secure at least half of them, Rutgers could be a very dangerous team in the Big Ten
Rutgers will get them now.
Need " money" to keep them in New Jersey
They've actually beaten Michigan in 2014
Well, a 5-7 Brady Hoke-coached Michigan, but yes they did. 2014 was a very surprisingly strong season for the Scarlet Knights before they started totally falling apart. Have a veteran squad seasoned from competing hard in the Big East definitely helped them that year though. No Rutgers team since then has had that luxury.

". . . while rutgers made the jump from a weaker conference."
the acc was a joke back then. before they poached teams from the Big East, WVU had more total BCS bowl wins than the entire acc.
losing schiano was the death knell for rutgers. i guess people don't understand how important he was to RU's success. he was a solid coach and a complete maniac recruiter, especially in talent-rich new jersey. he's already made strides in the recruiting game this off-season. rutgers will be relevant again. until he decides to leave, of course.
Schiano quickly turning SHI(t) Stadium into SHIano stadium
Some notes and corrections as I watch the video.
Rutgers had 2 winning season in the Big East before Schiano took over.
1991 (6-5-0) (2-3)
1992 (7-4-0) (4-2)
Terry Shea went 11-44 in his 5 year tenure before Greg Schiano was hired, with many games over by halftime. He was a west coast guy who had no understanding of the dynamics in NJ HS recruiting. He left the cupboard bare for his successor.
2004 and 2010 were outliers due to accidents.
4-7, 2004, traffic accident involving a drunk driver caused the loss of 3 DB's after starting 4-2.
Greg Schiano spent every waking moment he could by Dondre Asberry's bedside until he was no longer in critical condition. We were not a strong team, but without that loss we would have chalked up at least another 1-2 wins.
4-8, 2010, Eric LeGrand neck injury leading to full paralysis happened during the Army game which brought us to 4-2. The team was never the same after that.
The Big East was definitely not a weaker conference through the mid-to-late-2000's, but at the very end (before Rutgers' jump to the Big 10) with the exodus of so many teams the conference was gutted.
The comments about 2015 and the players constantly getting into trouble was incorrect and over blown. There were 3 separate incidents - one happened in April of 2015 involving a group of players and football alumni who were with an ex-player who got involved in a fight over a parking space in which he severely injured a much smaller student. Because NJ has certain laws on the books for incidents that involve more than 8-10 people, all of those present at that time were eventually charged. The second incident involved 1 player, 1 former player and several other students who were in a burglary ring that ripped off drug dealers. All of the players involved in these 2 incidents were arrested in a coordinated procedure by the local prosecutor on the Thursday before the first game in 2015. These players were suspended from the program, eventually all but 2 were reinstated. The third incident involved their star WR Leonte Carroo and his ex-girlfriend after the 3rd or 4th game of the season outside the stadium. Charges were filed against him for assault after she confronted him, but eyewitness accounts exonerated him. That didn't stop him from being suspended for several games.
I went to the Texas Bowl against K-State. Felt like RU won the Super Bowl.
RUTGERS whiffs consistentky on 4 and 5 star in-starmte high school recruits. Reminds me of TOM SEAVER -- the needed top NJ recruits -- against overmatched coaching staff.Until that changes losses will mount to heretofore unknown heights versus MI MS OS and PS. RU might play 20 seasons at this rate with 0 -80 collective record versus that quartet.
Greg Schiano left.
Now he's back.
I just saved you 9:33.
RUTGERS IS BACK
I really thought they'd get better eventually. Even thought they could be a trap game for top teams in the league.
Wow was I wrong. But yeah every reason you gave is exactly what's going on. No one wants to play in the B1G east division.
I've said for the last couple of years that Rutgers joining the Big Ten was the greatest thing to ever happen for Indiana football. It's given them the needed sixth win to go bowling multiple years now, and their recruiting has improved incredibly. There's more excitement around that team than I've almost ever seen. Combine that with Northwestern's disastrous 2019 season, and the Hoosiers really have momentum now.
@@thunderbird1921 I actually think Indiana has a lot of talent and could potentially be very good this year. That schedule is rough though.
Rutgers will come back with Greg Schiano & Covid doesn’t knock down society. Go Rutgers
Do umass 🙏🏽🙏🏽👀👀
Rutgers beat Michigan their first year in the Big ten
NJ kids are leaving the state because they grow up dreaming about playing for the Giants, Jets, and the Eagles, it's not like that in places like Georgia where kids grow up wanting to be Bulldogs.
Rutgers should have stayed in the American. The only reason why they are there is because the Big Ten wanted the "New York market" They could have gotten that more with Syracuse than the have with Rutgers.
Agreed.
When Syracuse was kicked out of the AAU, that pretty much blew their chances of being invited by the Big Ten. And Syracuse is 5 hours away from NYC in the 83rd TV market in the country. Rutgers main campus is 35 minutes away from NYC and their Newark campus is 10 miles away from NYC.
@@dantesinfernopurgatory7826 What’s the percentage of Syracuse grads in NYC vs Rutgers grads?
They joined the big ten thats what happend . Cincinnati beat Rutgers with a 3 string qb when Rutgers 11 0 saying they were #1
Selective memory. Rutgers was 9-0 and ranked 12th.
You should do a temple football video
I’ve Been thinking about it! Also, Trust the Process
Big ten the 2nd best conference in football not the first Rutgers would go winless in the sec period no questions asked

"...its suprising to me the New Jersey recruits are going elsewhere..." Have you ever been to NJ? Lived there? That's your answer. Plus, Schiano poached a few Syracuse committs after Pasqualoni was fired. He rode those players, and did well...then they graduated.
I could sound completely dumb... but ever was Rutgers football?? That’s what I’m confused about. Love the channel also!
They’re in the wrong part of America. Top hS football prospects don’t go to the northeast schools for college...🤷🏾♂️
Rutgers was good for 3 years in the late 2000's. Other than that they have never been good. Their fall is the equivalent of falling off of a step stool.
Tom Jurzynski ..never been good ? ...1980 played #1 ranked Alabama in the meadowlands both teams were 4-0 going in ..Bama escaped with a 17-13 win...Bear Bryant after the game said we won the game but Rutgers Beat us. They went on to win back to back national championships.. Year before we we beat Tennessee 16-7 at volunteer stadium..Took down Louisville who was #4 in 06..to name a few games that a GOOD team played...to say they were only good for 3 years in the late 2000's is Bullshit ...
@@jimchironna8075 you lost to non division 1 William and Mary the next week after that Alabama game. I mean if you consider 7-4 or 6-5 seasons good than knock yourself out.
@@tomjurzynski5407 Yes we did..big let down..we fumbled 4 x inside the 10 yard line going in..out gained them by 200 yrds but lost. So your saying 7-4 or 8-3 is not a good team..What do you consider good ? 9-2 ...10-1..
Do Temple Football nexr!!
I just might have to
Do the fall of WVU
I might just have to
They hired Ash. That's all you need to know.
My cousin plays for Rutgers
DO GEORGIA
Next video????
Not next, but in the future for sure! Their recent success with Kirby Smart is worth a video
My cousin plays for rutgers
The school is in Jersey so that's a problem from the get go
Rutgers should have joined the ACC.
Do UConn!!!
There’s a video coming on them for sure!
How can there be a fall if there was never a rise?
Did you watch the vid
Should be labeled, Rutgers Football is Still The Same. Had a couple years blip of success, but it is back to normal. On top of that, they were in the Big East. It was kind of a pseudo power conference. Greg Schiano will never win in the Big 10. Rutgers will never win.
CHOP 2020
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
what happened..? were they ever that good..?
