From a story headlined Rutgers football opens training camp: 6 notes from 1st practice of 2025 season (LINK):
New strength coach switches things up The booming voice on the loud speakers at the practice fields sounded a bit different on Monday. Spencer Brown, who replaced longtime strength and conditioning coach Jay Butler this offseason, participated in his first training camp practice in Piscataway after leading the Scarlet Knights' summer conditioning program. "Spencer has done an unbelievable job, really, galvanizing the strength staff and the players, so I'm really, really pleased with where we're headed," Schiano said. While Brown has helmed the sports performance department for a few months, the former Dartmouth strength coach has made his mark.
One of the things that I believe in is you hire great people and then you let them do their job," Schiano said. "You give them direction and you give them a vision, but you have to let them do what they believe is best. That's why you hired them. So I listen to them, and unless l'm vehemently opposed, I usually let people lead their area of expertise. So he's nade some changes already and he's talked to me about other things he'd like to change, and I'm all for it."

Brown will host its game against Rhode Island this year under the lights at the new Centreville Bank Stadium, a 10,500-seat soccer facility in nearby Pawtucket. The game has been moved up one day to Friday, Oct. 3.
It will be one of a record three Friday night games this fall for the Bears, who also play at Bryant on Oct. 10 and at Penn on Halloween. (LINK)
EXTRA POINT
With the mercury (silicon?) expected to hit the mid-80s today I got up and hit the trail early this morning. There's something to be said for finishing your daily exercise routine before most of the world has gotten out of bed. But while it was great to beat the heat, there's still the (not-so-) little matter of hopping on the lawn tractor before rain rolls in later this week.
