Hurricanes? He don’t need no stinkin’ Hurricanes! Greg Schiano is staying at Rutgers, rejecting overtures from Miami in favor of building something lasting at the The State University of New Jersey. (Hat tip: Patrick.)
Good for him.
Rutgers is a young team. Ray Rice is only a sophomore, and so will be around for at least another year. Quarterback Mike Teel is a redshirt sophomore. And now we learn that Coach of the Year candidate winner Schiano is staying, instead of leaving for greener pastures like so many successful coaches at upstart teams do. So while the loss to West Virginia was heartbreaking and “The Drop” was crushing, the Scarlet Knights should be a Big East contender again in 2007-08, and beyond.
But first: the Houston Bowl. Go Rutgers, Beat Kansas State!

Way for that columnist to blame one kid for Rutgers “dissapointing” season. Or at least their loss to WVU and corresponding loss of the “grand stage” of the Orange bowl. What a dick.

I blame one kid for us losing to USC last year. Reggie Bush.

Good for him, although as far as prime coaching jobs I can’t say i’d pick Miami as a school to go to. Who would want to deal with that kind of behavior problems..wait…i’ve got an idea….send Rick Neuheisal! Its a match made in heaven!

Two jobs in the Pac 10. Neuweasel should be mentioned for one, as should Price

Heard a rumor that Schiano is angling to be Paterno’s successor at Penn State. Now that actually makes sense….

Joepa has apparently devised the job to his defensive coordinator via will. Technically, the coordinator has been the head coach for over ten years.
