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.
Rex Ryan isn’t going to kiss Bill Belicheck’s rings.
He also isn’t going to play “Little Brother” to Tom Coughlin and the New York Giants.
Super Bowl XLVI was supposed to feature the New York Jets, or so thought Rex Ryan. But then again, Ryan also thought Super Bowl XLV would include his team and the same with Super Bowl XLIV.
Instead of his team making it to the big game, Ryan will now be forced to watch the two teams he despises the most both play in the Super Bowl he was supposed to win.
