Rumor: Rutgers Coach Greg Schiano A Candidate In Tampa Bay?

PrintAfter the Tampa Bay Buccaneers were turned down by one college head coach (Oregon's Chip Kelly), it appears the team is focused on another one. No, not former Green Bay and Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman, but instead, Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano. Reports this morning indicate that the Buccaneers are eyeing Schiano to replace Raheem Morris who was fired after two seasons.
620 WDAE, a sports radio station in Tampa, reported this morning that the Bucs want Schiano and have already informed some candidates, such Titans defensive coordinator Jerry Gray, that they would not receive the job. Instead, the Bucs have turned their attention to Carolina Panthers offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski and Schiano. Schiano has coached just two years in the NFL (second coach with the Chicago Bears) and for the past 11 seasons has been the head coach at Rutgers.
Schiano making this move now would come as a major surprise. He has previously turned down inquiries from high profile college jobs such as Michigan and Miami, and is on the cusp of landing his best recruiting class in his time at Rutgers with national signing day just one week away. Leaving now would be a major blow to a Rutgers program enjoying a big rebound from a disappointing 2010 season.

Schiano is the best thing that would ever happen to the Bucs.

On a football stand point, it might be an ok hire. Time will tell.
From the my personal perspective, I hate Rutgers and Greg Schiano (mainly for the whole repeatedly whooping our asses thing).

I'm with Leavitt Town
Keep Schiano the hell out of our stadium.

Wow.
I have a feeling this is gonna have a huge negative impact on their incoming recruiting class. I’m obviously not a Rutgers fan, but I don’t dislike them either, and that’s a big disappointment.
I really thought after turning down those college jobs Schiano was at Rutgers to retire. I guess the big $$$ from the NFL can be alluring though.

At least you're pointing out the positives
Rutgers potentially falling apart for a few years makes me a little happy
Go Bulls!
