Schiano is a good coach, but he's not the only one out there. Now that Rutgers is in the B1G and along with a fertile recruiting area has generated more interest from a strong crop of good coaches. No longer is the job viewed as a wasteland and with that in mind Schiano is no longer the ONLY options. One thing I've notice with Rutgers going back 30+ years is the recycle mindset of the fans, administration and local media. Too many Rutgers fans always look at things as if the "sky is falling all the time", so we run to bad habits like only certain coaches are best for us. Are you guys convinced Schiano, Golden and Cristobal are flat out better than Narduzzi, Ash, or even Mullen (used RU) who all showed interest in the job.
FYI: Schiano was never offered the job. Even if offered I doubt Schiano would have taken it. Some of the things Flood did and got into trouble were copied from Schiano. Now, I'm not saying Schiano was on Flood's level, but there are buried bones that would have surfaced if he had returned due to recent events. It appears Schiano just wanted some distances between Rutgers and himself. Too bad he got a reality check when all the HC jobs went to other people. Schiano had to take a step back by taking a DC position. It's more like college football spit in the face of Schiano.
