Rutgers needs a few things when they hire the new coach.
1. A Jersey guy (should go without saying but there I said it)
2. An offensive minded guy with a philosophy that creates players with talent in open space.
3. A phenomenal developer of talent (top players in Jersey rarely want to go to Rutgers so the players you get need to be developed physically and mentally)
4. A great recruiter that can unearth talent in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic.
5. A guy with good character and no hints of scandal

I honestly think that the Scarlet Knight faithful need all 5 of those to not only get the program moving but to get to a mid to long term goal of 8 wins per season. It's tough with this division but if you cede Ohio State, Michigan, & Penn State you have 9 games you can win (BTW Sparty is on a downward trajectory that's why I include them in mid range winnable)

I am not one of those fans that hates Rutgers. I think they have potential they've just been mismanaged for a long time and lacking money for even longer. That reminds me. The "B1G trial period" is almost over. Rutgers has borrowed some but their B1G payouts are about to get handsome. The athletic director Pat Hobbs has made astute moves with the most obvious being the hiring of Steve Pikiell.
Some people only focus on what a thing is and not what it can be. If you took a look at all of the assets Rutgers has (local talent, media market, visible conference, every game televised you may start to think as I do that 8-9 wins per year is attainable if they get the right guy in there.
