Related Topics: Defensive coordinator

From now through September 3rd, I am posting a daily reason why it is great to be a fan of Rutgers football. There are a lot more than thirty, but I picked my thirty reasons, and hope you like them. If not, be sure to let me know.

If there is a common theme among the youth of the new coaching staff at Rutgers football, it is that they are savvy regarding social media. That is, except one. Defensive coordinator Jay Niemann is quiet and being-the-scenes when it comes to working with media. In fact early on his name was sometimes misspelled, being called Coach Riemann instead of Niemann, as he was by Associated Press reporter Matt Sugam.
