The quote "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it" comes to mind when thinking if Schiano would be a good choice as our next coach.
What has history shown for head coaches who have returned to their former school to coach again?
Some examples from modern times
1. Petrino (Louisville) - too soon to tell
2. Snyder (Kansas State) - successful for the most part
3. Robinson (USC) - successful (conference championships, bowl games)
4. Johnny Majors (Pitt) - only lasted 4 seasons
5. Mike Riley (Oregon State) - now at Nebraska
