What would Schiano have to do to.......

I agree with you VK in terms of what he would need to do...I posted this on the RT and it applies here:

assuming he's willing to hire a top notch staff...I always though Greg was content being the "smartest" guy amongst his staff...I would want a guarantee that he would get the best guys we could afford...not guys who are going to genuflect to him

he does that, and that will show me that he has grown. I always said that wanting to be the smartest guy (vs. surrounding yourself with smarter guys) was one of his biggest - if not THE biggest - weakness. he does that and it will show me he has grown.

I always thought he didn't have enough salary to higher top assistants so went young and had to replace as they got offered more money. I wondered if he was to focused on his salary / facilities to negotiate competitive assistant/coordinator salaries.

win you over if he was hired? Obviously, he is pretty polarizing and many here either idolize or are against him with very little middle ground. For me, he would need to bring in some new staff. I get he might need to keep a few for cost, a few because they are good, but I don't want to see a retread of our entire 20011 staff. Second, I would like to see him hire a competent up tempo style OC that he could feasible leave alone to run the O. For example, Charlie Strong has always run a pro set but they are about to hire TCU's co OC. That shows growth as a coach.

Bring in good and expirienced assistants on both sides of the ball and let his coaches coach
