Schiano posdibly to Tampa Bay

[mets1090]

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?

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...

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!!

So it's done done? McMurphy said GS accepted, here's the cbssports.com report.

I was in a meeting surreptitiously checking twitter and the yard... had to suppress laughter at the Syracuse Bay thing.

That article lost all credibility when it said Shady turned Rutgers into annual Big East title contenders.

Who knew?

While I understand the schadenfreude over this, I'm still a bit sad at how this all hammers home the point that none of this is about the student / athletes at all. To his credit Schiano won't leave Rutgers in the midst of a brewing NCAA investigation (ahem, looking at you Lane Kiffin and Pete Carrol) but when a coach bolts just a few days before signing day, the kids who had just made one of the biggest decisions in their lives to that point get their world turned upside down. I suppose it is better than bolting right after signing day since the kids still have a choice.

I don't know how much more room we have in this class (it seems huge already) but I definitely don't think of HCPP as one of these kinds of coaches. I get the feeling that he'll stick around as long as we want him and there is something to be said for that.

 

[mattp]

say what you will about Pasqualoni, he batted a thousand lifetime against Schiano at UConn. in yer face jersey!!

 

[cryjeremiah]

in case anyone is interested, ESPN and 247Sports show 9 RU commits that Uconn also offered.

OL - Denman, Muller, Brodie, Arcidiacono
TE - Giacone
LB - Longa, Lambert
DL - Pinnix-Odrick
ATH - Jacobs​

this has some extremely crazy potential.
1) bc has a very small class, they are going to try to get nj kids but will have trouble becuase they are bc
2) cuse has a big class already, they wil only have a couple spots at best to give
3) i bet PP is thinking sec type class for us if he can. go to town PP!!!!! i want 30 recruits on feb 1st!
4) PSU needs some guys, they will def get some no doubt. schwan may not get a psu offer now.
5)tosu is filing spots quick but i bet they land a couple
6)pitt can squeeze a couple more in also

-we need to loc down schwan and the kid we talked about last night(jazz). we should be the choice now for both.
-go after giancone/brodie 1st
-getting atleast 1 of ^ opens the door for others much more easily.
-if there was some coaching changes to be made, this weekend is the time. give me a couple recruiters PP, they guys are valueable!!!

im worried about a couple things:
-who the next coach is down there
-how they are going to fill seats this season
-most importantly, this can only help us being some 1's pick in another confrence. no way the b12 is taking rutgers. for once that school didn't suck at everything and it seemed like GS had something, now its back to basics with them. lol.
-lastly, i'm worried that GS waited it out as long as he could and the b12 wasn't interested. Maybe he knows the acc/b10 are never going to happen either and so fianlly when the last option was a def no, it was time to get out....scary for us

I WANT A 30 KID CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sportsart]

If we get 30 then 5 are going the prep route.

how so
we have 21 now so we can get 9 more. we have 5 already enrolled so they count for 2011 class. so really we brought in 25. the transfers coming in dont count for the class technically. were going to have some transfers out and other guys we didn't know just left, we all saw the spring roster. easily doable. maimi has 31 kids coming in. why cant we?!?!

 

[zls44]

I am now expecting Broadie to flip to UConn.

Also, I think they have to go with Cignetti, immediately. Even if he stinks as an option. You play the hand you're dealt.

I took 30 as the number for this class. The 5 on campus now count towards the 2011 class. So yes we can have a total of 30 counting the 5 already here.

 

[epark88]

NFL Network is breaking in to announce the hire.

It's officially official now - WOW!...
