Schiano running out of choices

If the guy is still getting $3 mil from the Bucs this year, with no state tax in Florida what's the rush? Schiano has all the cards. Either someone pays him equal or more or he waits till next year. Worst case he could take over for Kirby Smart at Alabama.

The rush is the more he sits out the more his star will fall. Next year is the last year of the Tampa Bay gravy train. Teams aren't stepping over one another now to hire him, what makes you think they will with another year removed from coaching. He's not going to take a coordinator job in college his ego won't allow it. Maybe the NFL but not college. He will be relegated to lower G5 schools. He and his agent have overplayed their hand and it's going to bite him in the ass. He's no longer a hot name in college football circle's that time has passed.

BRG: But he would win that 9th ranked bowl the right way, with integrity and pride. If and when he's asked about better bowls or winning key games he'll tell you it's about building a tall fence around NJ and making sure all his players are "in the mix."

On a serious note: He did take the job seriously and I believe that the administration to a certain degree handcuffed him in terms of recruiting key athletes. I thank him for making us semi competitive but we need a coach to take us to that next level. If TCU and Houston can do it so can we.

TCU and Houston "did it." True. But the pressure at RU is to "do it" the right way. And that is the challenge. Some coaches don't want to deal with that.

Nuts,
You are 100 percent spot on. I was waiting for Greg on Monday with arms wide open. He is overplaying his hand and thinking too highly of himself. He's as stubborn as Flood, but in a different way. Maybe most coaches are stubborn. That SI article he planted last year had many of us fooled. He blew his chance to come back here with a groundswell of support. He may still land here, but everyone knows RU wasn't his first choice. Instead of coming home to a huge party, he will just get some congratulatory emails.

But not from me .

FINALLY!! A man who speaks the truth!! Thank you Pinehurst, I agree with you 100%. No HC will come here for that reason which is why we're always looking at a "B" list of head coaches. Until the culture changes at Rutgers we will never attract "A" list coaches. Rutgers is a tale of two fan bases and while that exists elite athletes and HC's will avoid us.

Schiano might take the job if... you could move RU to Florida. He is not coming back. Why all the hate ?
He did a great job here, he moved on. The RU community needs to move on too.
There are other coaches out there. I just hope we hire the right one.

People here will never move on -- especially those who always hated him. They hope to God he never gets another job because, in their mind, it validates everything they ever thought of him as a coach.

I think he over played his hand. He'll be on the sidelines again this off-season unless an NFL team scoops him up as a DC. His only job offer was UCF, despite interviewing and throwing his name around everywhere.

Poor use of metaphor in this case.

Funny. Also true of the last guy.

 

[BOGDANOVICH]

Media pressure? Not like his last year with the Bucs. He can sit in his waterfront home in the Tampa area, collect his severance, do his TV commentary and await next year's dominos.

He has quite a home on the Tampa waterfront. Why would he want to leave there for anywhere else?

 

[RURM85]

I find it very strange that he's not on the list of candidates interviewing for the Virginia HC vacancy. I would think it would be a perfect landing spot for him. I just don't see him at USCe. He doesn't fit the culture. Their fans would run him out of town in the blink of an eye.
