Schiano posdibly to Tampa Bay

He had 2 impressive interviews. Yeesh....Shady could sell a Mac computer to Bill Gates.

I wonder if he will want to meet with current Buc's parents to tell them about his NC plans.
 
Back to irrelevancy for Rutgers. Being mid-pack in the Big East for the past decade will be the high point of the program.
 
Paging Mr Brodie! Paging Mr Brodie! Mr Brodie, please pick up the white courtesy phone for a call from Mr Pasqualoni.

I like the part of the article where it said the Glazers called Bill Belichick, who "spoke highly" of Schiano. I LOL'ed.

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

Bunch of tweets about Brodie possibly switching to UConn if this is true

Tweets from speculators?? ...or from those that have some connection to Brodie??

I'm speechless. What dopes the Glazers are. High comedy. I wonder how the chopping wood gimmick will go over in Tampa.
 
NFL Network is not reporting this at all. Is it really true?...
 
Brodie and Giacone would be nice. UConn came in second with both. Don't think Rutgers can open up the wallet and give Shiano anymore money given the financial issues with the athletic department. Schecter said that he also interviewed for the Rams job, so it seems pretty clear that he may have tired of the college game.
 
Love RU fans -- most still claiming that this rumor was a plant from SEC country because they're upset that Schiano is recruiting so well down there.

Still, Greg loves to play this game -- make people think he's in line for a job, "turn it down", then trumpet his loyalty to RU in recruiting.
 
The fact that the story WAS NOT broken by Joe Schadd tells me there could be some truth to this.

The only tweet I take with any seriousness is from Scott Stump who is from down Brodie's way...here is his tweet "I'm assuming UConn js dialing Long Branch's Ryan Brodie as we speak. That was his other finalist with Rutgers". The rest of them I take with a grain of salt.

If Schefter is correct and this is going to be a done deal...watch this class collapase. KC Keeler of Delaware being mentioned as a replacement on twitter...that's almost as funny as Schiano taking an NFL job
Expand ...

I'd be shocked if the recruiting class collapses. Many of these guys already wanted to go to State U...and Schiano just reinforced their feelings and sold them on it being the best place for them. Of course, I'm sure he didn't mention that HE had other higher aspirations! lol Perhaps a few will seriously consider other options, but I'll bet many of them stay on board! I can only hope that I'm wrong! lol

Well why wouldn't he? He has 4 Rutgers players on his roster, all who played under GS in the last three years, not to mention his SON played for Schiano as a walk-on. The other college coaches BB prefers include Nick Saban, Urban Meyer and Pat Hill (Fresno St.). Not a bad group. I can see why the Glazers would put weight on this. I don't see GS having what it takes in the NFL, but who knows.
 
tweet from Chas Dodd...@RUcdodd19 What!!!!!! #speechless

Thanks FDNY...that would certainly be a logical assumption. Hopefully we are and hopefully we hear something from someone connected to Brodie later on!

I also wonder how the TE Giacone is feeling right now. Didn't he have us in his final two as well?

You know, the funniest comment in this thing is the one about the good ice-fishing at Syracuse Bay. I still haven't stopped smiling. :)
 
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
 
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.

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.
