Good coach, available, won at Rutgers, would be a great fit at PSU, Miami or Louisville.

I think he would be a great hire at Penn State.

Him, or maybe Ty Willingham. :)

What makes you think that Schiano can win at the places you mention?

He benefited from a weak schedule at Rutgers, didn't exactly set the world on fire there and got fired by Tampa Bay.

Why would anyone want Schiano? All he did for Tampa Bay is prove how stubborn he is and have his players quit on him while losing most of his games. He would look a lot better if Rutgers had turned into a dumpster fire again after he left but they are still solid and went to two bowl games without him, granted, with his players. His stock is falling and he will probably have to take a G5 or FCS head coaching position and work himself up again.

Actually, he's been mentioned a plenty for PSU, as well as Miami if Golden gets PSU. Nothing regarding Louisville though.

Actually, Rutgers basically is a dumpster fire at this point. A bunch of his best players he recruited left for the NFL right after last season, Flood has been losing recruits left and right, and the team went from one of the nation's best defenses to a below average one. The offense is also a mess, our QB situation is very hazy, our team has become extremely undisciplined, and the fans HATE Flood as a coach. The only reason we made the bowl game this year was due to our cupcake OOC schedule and the fact that the NCAA rewards 6 win teams with bowl games. I would take Schiano back over Flood any day, he's not the best coach, but at least he's extremely competent as one and a solid recruiter in NJ, PA, NY, CT and FL.

Well as a Rutgers fan then you'd know better than me. All I know is that he probably won't get another head coaching job in the NFL after that disaster.

What exactly did he win at Rutgers? I don't ever remember Rutgers winning the conference under him, and he consistently underperformed against my Bearcats with much better recruits.

He did turn out to be right about the QB situation .

He won a game in 2006 with the aid of the refs...does that count?

People said the same about Josh McDaniels, but he's still getting interview calls. If Greg doesn't get a college HC gig this year, he probably will be joining Belichick's staff in some capacity (they are pals) and eventually gets another shot.

That jersey guys ways in.

Quote:Things a Jerseyguy noted this week:
NEWPORT, Ca.–Don’t be surprised if by the time the college football recruiting period ends on January 15th, that we have a major tsunami involving coaches changing jobs.
Here’s what will trigger it:
Texas–The Longhorns did not get Alabama coach Nick Saban to come to Austin. But according to reports coming out of Austin, they did get Louisville coach Charlie Strong.

After looking at a list of candidates which included everyone from Alabama coach Nick Saban to Florida State coach Jimbo Fisher, new Texas athletic director Steve Patterson apparently went to Strong, who has done a terrific job of pushing Louisville into Top 20 prominence.
With the Texas situation settled, the next question mark is Penn State which must replace Bill O’Brien, who took the Houston Texans job earlier this week.

The second wave could come if Miami coach Al Golden listens to the voices in his head that could be telling him that it is time to come home to Penn State.

If that happens, Miami and Florida State would be open and another domino affect could take place. Don’t be surprised if former Rutgers coach, recently fired by the NFL Tampa Bay Bucs, re-emerges on the top of the Canes’ wish list.

As a UMass fan there are some very interesting things but not related to this thread.

Hope he has fun recruiting "Schiano Men" to Coral Gables. That would be a disaster for the Canes.

I've heard talk of Schiano to Penn State. Not sure how serious it is. But he seems to be a good coach. He turned Rutgers from a doormat into a perennial bowl contender. And not just by getting to 6 wins. You can see Rutgers getting worse since he left. It usually takes a few years for all the recruiting classes to graduate (see Dennis Erickson and Al Coker for winning with other people's recruits), but the signs are there. I'd have a hard time believing no ACC/Big 10/SEC school would want Schiano (he seems to be an East Coast guy).

The rap on McD was that he was immature, not ready, and had poor people skills. Those are possibly fixable.

The rap on Schiano from TB is that his players despised him, he has low character, and treats everyone like crap. I'd think he has more of an uphill battle.

As a Saints fan, I hated to see Schiano let go by Tampa Bay. Now they have hired an excellent head coach in Lovie Smith, along with two solid coordinators in Telford and Frazier. I don't want to see him go to Penn State, but Miami would be good.

All I know is, if it were my university looking for a head coach I wouldn't hope for Greg Schiano.

Schiano is a douche. I hope that no school ever hires him again, but someone will.

Secondly, UMass will no longer be able to take non-qualifiers if they get an invite to the AAC. UMass will have a basketball player on their roster (Dontae Clark) next year that did not qualify to get in VT. The acceptance of non-qualifiers is the reason that Marshall will not be in the AAC.

The AAC not taking prop players is a shame. Even as adults how many of us make mistakes and this is especially true for young people. We have a big education support system for our athletes and very proud in America, we give young people a chance or a second chance to get on the right path.

UMass is a top 100 National university so don't agree with the snide comment on the ACC blog.

You are going to be surprise, UMass has some donors that are stepping up in both Football and Basketball. We're waaaaay behind, but you will see some significant improvement.

Now looking forward to the NCAA and home opener against Boston College at Gillette.

Greg Schiano is a mediocre coach at best and if I were in charge of hiring a new head coach for one of the schools mentioned above, I would not give any thought to hiring him.

I have to admit, that UMass scenario would be absolutely perfect. UMass-UConn on thanksgiving weekend would be great for both schools.
