I like Schiano but this is a weird hire
I don't like it.
I think he had a real chance to continue to put the Knights on the map.
I think he was a great fit for R.U.
And to go to the Bucs?
I think "weird" is too polite.
Head-scratcher to me.

Ok, my point is/ was that History shows that most of the time a College Coach jumping to the NFL typically ends disastrously.
Rutgers had been a blip, that's all. But the relative, that is relative, success that Schiano had with them in a span of what? 4 or 5 years (Bowl Games) could have been the start to something big.
With all the conference re-structuring and what not, in some ways the Big East was open game. (though there are some rumors to joining the ACC)
anyway, I think Schiano going to TB is a mistake.
