Rutgers Basketball: Year 3 is Key for Eddie Jordan

The third year of the Eddie Jordan era is officially underway, now is the time the coach has to show some progress.

When a new coach is hired, they are usually given five years to clean up the mess of the previous coach and put his own stamp on the program.

For Eddie Jordan, year 3 starts now, and it is the most important year of his tenure. This is when the program hits the pivot point on the seesaw and things start to swing back in the positive direction.

For the two previous coaches, year 3 was either the first sign of the apocalypse, or the absolute death knell.
