Schiano posdibly to Tampa Bay

[FDNY99]

Yeah UConnRock posted above that we came in 2nd to Rutty for Giacone. More than the kids though...P HAS to make a call to Jeff Hafley if this is true! That would be a HUGE hire for us! That guy is one of the BEST recruiters in the business (he is from Montvale NJ in Bergen County...DIRECT correlation to Rutty's improved haul in NJ this year)!

tweet from Eric LeGrand: @BigE52_RU Really? Not going to lie I am a little bit shocked right now

Article from the Tampa Bay Times re; Schiano being the next coach! Has interesting additional info regarding his association with Bill B of the Pats and thoughts from Peter King of SI.

Damn! This site even replaces Tampa with Syracuse in links too! lol Well...if you sub tampa in where syracuse is listed (2 times), you'll pull up the article.

Ray Rice tweet sounds like Schiano is a goner
@RayRice27 the Bucs are getting a great man and a great coach. #salute

Jason Baum Assoc. AD of Comm. at Rutgers just tweeted this:
I wonder if my cell phone will have enough power to get through lunch.

Aren't they already pretty much irrelevant in any month other than February?

Depends on your definition of irrelevancy I suppose. Maybe they're irrelevant now, and are on a crash course with pitifully awful again? But can one argue that by being so awful they'd be relevantly awful?

Their boards on the TOS's remind of all the posts after Edsall left. Unless Pernetti gives Cignetti the job permanently..that staff will be gone by this time next year.

This is going to be a train wreck for Rutgers recruiting. Time to bust out the popcorn. :>)

No edsall left after he accomplished something, schiano just left, always the opportunist.

I agree with you FDNY. You may recall that Schiano was NOT doing great recruiting in the Bergen County area. Schiano had even had a falling out with the HC at Don Bosco and hadn't been getting any of their kids for the last several years. Then when the Pitt staff blew up with Wanny being fired, GS grabbed Hafley. Things turned around almost instantly and the Don Bosco pipeline magically reopened. Imagine what could happen here if we were able to get him!!

Linked is an article about Hafley PRIOR to him joining Rutgers. Seems the author may have underestimated Hafley's impact.

If Schiano is gone it's time to start working the phones and try to swipe some of their recruits if we have room.

Does the NFL frown on scheduling Division II teams?

 

[WhereistheDove?]

Let's hope that recruiting class just falls apart. PP and the staff have to feel like it's Christmas morning right now.

Start with hiring Jeff Hafley to head up recruiting.

According to CBS: DONE DEAL...

 

[ktuck911]

Holy Schnikes! I just got out of a meeting and this... speechless

Total shock..

Come on Coach P... Start working the phones bro...

 

[MattMang23]

His Wikipedia page has been updated to head coach of Tampa bay buccaneers, and we all know, if it's on wiki, it's official.

 

[Scoe]

Wow is TB on crack lol

 

[epark88]

Okay, the Tampa Bay thing where you're trying to type T-ampa Bay instead? It's like the singing mounted-fish thingy: funny as heck for about 15 minutes, then you wanna smash it to pieces.

Enough already! ...

They'll just let him schedule the Virginia Destroyers instead of Norfolk State... hey it's still in Hampton Roads

Virginia Destroyers? Isn't that a KISS cover band?

 

[metsfan2323]

How the heck is Greg Schiano the best candidate for this job? A guy who never won a Big East title. A guy who schedules three cupcake games per year. This is a major head scratcher. Was Rich Kotite not available?

 

[johnhuskies95]

According to the Rutgers rivals writers, UConn and Penn State were the first schools to reach out to the RU commits.

It appears to be official...Schiano has accepted the TB job!!
