Would Love for the Giants to Hire Greg Schiano
- Thread starter rutgersal
- Start date
Regardless of whether it was his fault, he does not have a good reputation in the NFL.
So would I, as would most Eagles fans.
He went down in flames in the NFL. Was so hated. Not to mention he “disrespected the giants”.
Schiano’s style doesnt work in the NFL. Though I think it is effective in college.

If he truly took Pete Carroll’s example as something to emulate, than perhaps he is ready to coach professionals again.
He says he's learned from his previous mistakes, and Belicheck is a big believer. I don't think he did a bad job in Tampa, he just ran out of time. He deserves another shot, imo.
You also think RU would win B1G championships. Fortunately, no one takes you seriously and Fortunately, there is zero chance of the Giants considering GS
I think so too but Greg's still a defensive coach, and I don't think rescuing a crumbling offense and drafting/cultivating a new QB fits Schiano's profile. Few NFL teams do well bringing new QBs along even when they know offenses.
Once the Giants fix the offensive line, they'll fix the offense. The Giants biggest problem has been not drafting the right talent at that position. This is why their OL stinks. Schiano's eye for talent would help them identify the best players for the offensive line, in the lower rounds. Everybody knows they're taking QB #1, but the OL picks are just as important. He could hire an Offensive Guru to coach them.
The Vikings fixed their OL in one year. No clue how, but it was awful last year, and somehow this year it's making Case friggin Keenum look like a pro bowl QB.
Al, Al, Al, love you sometimes, your enthusiastic nature, optimism, ability to see the world through those Scarlet colored glasses, Rutgers needs more fans like you. But, please stay away from the NYGiants.
Bring back Greg. Dump Eli and Geno. Get Savage in as QB, and Chas Dodd over from Italy to be the backup. Bring in Sanu, Kroft, Coleman, Burton and Agudosi. May as well get the McCourty brothers too.
Belichek flamed out in Cleveland before finding success in New England and Parcels nearly got fired in NY before turned it around. Pete Carroll also fired first at Jets
The Giants will not be looking at Greg Schiano. To add to the other speculations, Saban and Kelly will also not be getting looks. A lot of course is contingent on the GM hire, Abrams will not be given the position, so whomever it is from the outside will clearly have say, but I would be very surprised if Schiano got an interview.
I think a mellowed, second time around GS would be a good head coach. He's a smart guy and I'm sure he learned from his mistakes.
Sorry but to be a successful coach in the NFL, you need to be at least somewhat of a player's coach.
Rumor is Gruden with Butch Jones as OC and and Schiano as DC. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
They need to hire a GM first.
As an aside, Greg got a bad deal in Tampa Bay. Between losing players to the MRSA from their locker rooms and getting saddled with Freeman he did ok. He saved the owners a fortune in cap room when Freeman walked away.

His "mistakes" with Tampa Bay are an essential part of his nature. He can't just change who he is. Let him be a DC in the NFL for a while before giving him the reins again. He would be a very good one and it would get him back in a pro locker room before getting the keys to the place.
And don't underestimate what a disaster he was with the Bucs. It's not about the record -- a lot of coaches have failed before finding success. But that locker room hated and mocked the guy, and largely with reason. Let him earn his way back at that level. He can do it.

Schiano is toxic in the NFL given his era of disaster at Tampa though Belichik can hire him as a DC and no one would blink.
Schiano's tenure in Tampa is widely considered a disaster, but the coach before Schiano was 17-31. The two coaches after him are a combined 21-39.
Toxic?? The Buccaneers are the toxic ones. On their 4 HC in the last 6 years.
