| NEWS BREAKING NEWS: Greg Schiano returns as Rutgers coach after miraculous reversal

[rick4bama]

Jones still not a coach at Bama right now? Right?

Why take the gig...……. 3.5 million for 5 years gets you 17.5 million bucks

That seems like a really big number for Rutgers.

That seems like a really big number for Rutgers.

It's the Big 10 right? The liberals in that shithole state can tax with the best of them.

It's the Big 10 right?

I'd have to look so this is a guess. I suspect the average in the B1G is about 3.5MM. However, that's skewed by the 9MM Harbaugh is getting. I saw Ash was getting 2.3MM.

I'll admit there are some strange salaries in the B1G. Lovie at 4MM from Indy. Ferentz has a contract that's never been easily understood.

I'm considering two other things as well. One, 9MM buyout and two, the school is already operating in the red.

In the end, I'd put Rutgers on par with Maryland. Locks is getting 2.5 I believe.

Say it isn’t so! Wrong move by BJ if he takes it IMO.

 

[XXL TideFan]

If he could show steady improvement for 3 years he could get a better gig.

Schiano turned it into an NFL HC gig.

Smart move by CBJ to stay on staff as an analyst and continue to be paid by the viles.

Has Rutgers fallen all the way to the bottom? I think we have some on here that could go and coach the S. Knight? I mean these guys had a lot to say about how Coach Saban is coaching! But to the best of me. How in the world could Rutgers try to hire someone they fired the during middle season?

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Is Rutgers the worse HC job in P5? And big 10 gifted them into conference...lol

 

[planomateo]

So a previous AD (Dolan) is undermining the existing AD. That's an ugly look.

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

There was a time when 4 million a year was a lot of money. Schiano must be in pretty good shape in the ole checkbook. Hard to understand why anybody would offer a 8 year contract this day and time (even at Rutgers)

Let's count the ways:

1. No fan base
2. No facilities that can compete with the rest of the conference (indoor practice facility, modern weight room, stadium)
3. No chance to win the conference (annually competing with Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Wisconsin)
4. Must compete with two NFL teams (Jets, Giants) for fans and attendance
5. No history of success

So, a definite maybe?

 

[alabama mike]

I'll take the job for $1.5 million a year as long as I can use the remaining $6.5 to hire assistants.

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

Rutgers needs something crazy to get them going. How about some Houston Nutt over there?

 

[mando]

Seems like a good place for Fulmer or Tubbs to go to..
