Pat Forde just posted a piece on SI about high-profile alumni head coaching hires.
With that in mind -- and fully granting that Schiano isn't going anywhere, anytime soon, no matter what the latest Coaching Hot Seat chart says -- who would be the leading Rutgers Football alumni candidates to step in as the new head coach if a change happened and the AD/BOG went that route? Who's your pick for head coach if that happened? Let's stick with living, working alumni, please.The ultimate athletic scenario for a university president is to have a successful coach who is an alum of the school and will stay there for the long haul, winning big while declining overtures elsewhere. That dream scenario takes a problematic twist when controversies arise and a power struggle ensues.
