Rutgers arguably is the toughest job in the Big Ten in football, and after the disastrous reign of Iowa-born-and-raised Ash, the Scarlet Knights need a Jersey guy who understands the territory and can recruit the area.
Schiano also understands the school itself, and already has good relationships with many of the boosters and donors whose money can be the lifeblood for a struggling program. Hobbs, according to a source, leaned heavily on one of those boosters in making the ill-fated hire of Ash in December 2015.
As tough a financial hit as that will be, Hobbs certainly realized the alternative of more lost revenue from season-ticket sales, parking, concessions, etc. while the Ash regime continued wasn’t good financially either.
Schiano’s return would change all that in a way that the latest hot offensive or defensive coordinator, or even a young program-building head coach, would not. It would excite a fan base that has been mired in apathy during much of Ash’s tenure.
Sometimes the most obvious choice is the right one. And it is in this case.
