Barring a last-minute Chip Kelly hit-and-run, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers hope to introduce Greg Schiano from Rutgers as their new head coach as soon as today.
Schiano had been rumored for the past few years as the eventual replacement for the late Joe Paterno at Penn State and might have ended up there had it not been for the scandals that led to the firing of the coaching icon.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are about to make a shocking move for their next head coach.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Rutgers University coach Greg Schiano is the man they plan to hire:Schiano has been rumored for many jobs since his breakout year with Rutgers in 2006, but has remained loyal to the Scarlet Knights. If things hold up, that is all about to change.
What It Means?
Schiano has been at Rutgers since 2001. He took a completely miserable program and made them relevant again. He led the Scarlet Knights to six bowl games in the last seven years and won five of them.The program has turned out numerous NFL stars under Schiano’s rule, including superstars Ray Rice and Kenny Britt.
College football coaches will do just about anything to land the best recruits in the country, even if it means going to jail. That’s what Mark Richt did for 5-star linebacker Josh Harvey-Clemons, but it isn’t as bad as it sounds.
According to Michael Carvell of the Atlanta Journal Constitution, Richt and offensive coordinator Mike Bobo found themselves at a Valdosta jail making a last-minute pitch to their No. 1 priority.
Richt and Bobo were visiting with Harvey-Clemons and his family on Wednesday. They all had dinner together and went to church, but then things got a little strange.
