re: Why isnt Greg Schiano's name getting floated around for jobs more??

There have been more than a few articles about him as a person,and none were flattering. It's fact, amongst those who follow the NFL, that he totally pissed off the majority of pro scouts who would come to scout his players at Rutgers. He had all kinds of rules & regs that scouts had never run across before & it got so bad that at one point, the word "boycott" was being thrown around by league scouts. His record in the pros speaks for itself. He was a colossal prick according to most accounts.

Which was absolutely the dumbest thing ever, too. Why in the heck would a college coach go out of his way to make life miserable for pro scouts at his school and make teams not want to draft his kids? How did he not understand that there's a legimate coorelation between recruiting and draft picks, and programs like Alabama tout being an NFL factory to recruits (hint: it works).

That MMQB article pointed out that guys like Saban and Urban Meyer are lauded by NFL scouts for rolling out the red carpet for them, which in turn gets their kids noticed/evaluated/drafted, which Saban can then show kids during the recruiting process.

Also, it was so dumb that Schiano tried to explain it away in that article with "durrr well I was so focused on football I didn't pay any attention to scouts and didn't realize I had that reputation or that it was important durr."
