I think Schiano is sort of a tool, but I think he'll be a good hire for whoever gets him, especially if it's a program in the Big Ten.


I'm still not sold on him. 68-67 at Rutgers which is admirable but I think his 11-2 season with Ray Rice was perhaps an anomaly. I've been wrong before though

He also won 9 games twice and 8 games another two times, and he's 5-1 in bowl games. Plus, Rutgers has a terrible recruiting footprint and was an absolute dumpster fire when he got there. Before he got there, they'd only gone to 1 bowl game in their entire history and that was when Jimmy Carter was president -- he took them to 6.

He's a tool, but what he did at Rutgers was extremely impressive.

Got to remember that when he took over Rutgers they were bar none the worst "big" school program in the country. Nobody else was even close.

1990 : 3-8
1991 : 3-8
1992 : 7-4
1993 : 4-7
1994 : 5-5-1
1995 : 4-7
1996 : 2-9
1997 : 0-11
1998 : 5-6
1999 : 1-10
2000 : 3-8

Schiano
2001 : 2-9
2002 : 1-11
2003 : 5-7
2004 : 4-7
2005 : 7-5
2006 : 11-2
2007 : 8-5
2008 : 8-5
2009 : 9-4
2010 : 4-8
2011 : 9-4

Once he got things turned around they averaged 8-9 wins a year. At Rutgers. The only other time that happened in program history was 1976-1980.
