Around the NFL - 2012

Greg Schiano is supposedly the Bucs next HC.

[DH]

Good, he's one of the most overrated coaches in the country. To not have been able to go to a BCS bowl out of that zesty conference is an embarrassment.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Interesting hire. I, for one, am happy for him.

[Zanshin]

Bad timing for Rutgers, though. They need a great hire.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Juan Castillo? 

[ice grillin you]

rutgers "needs" a great hire?

when did rutgers football ever need anything...they need to not be completely irrelevant...then worry about things like good coaches

[Zanshin]

To not be completely irrelevant, they need a great hire. That's the idea.

[ice grillin you]

yeah but completely irrelevant schools dont make great hires...a rutgers or a syracuse i suppose could hire someone who ends up being good for them...but they arent going to get someone where when announced everyone is like 'wow what a great hire'

its gonna be more like hmmm whats his resume look like

i think they would be really lucky to get someone like schiano circa 2000 or whenever they hired him...altho im not sure they would have even gotten him if not for his north jersey roots

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Tom Bradley?

[ice grillin you]

sounds about right to me

[DH]

rutgers needs someone who can recruit better than schiano did - he was great at what he did; establishing and building the brand, getting a local tv deal done w sny to air programming, naming rights to the stadium, etc...

but his recruiting has lacked heavily. aside from the obvious guys - rice and britt - and some lower level guys - leonard and mccourty - there has been a lack of talent. the best qb he ever recruited left after his freshman year to go play for arizona.

granted, college football is dead in this area of the country, but there is no reason why rutgers should not have at least been in a bcs bowl once in the past 11 years.

That's my point...I think we're talking different languages a little. They need to make a great hire, but that's all within perspective for the school. A great hire for them would be different than a great hire for, say, USC. They need to make a great choice, at least for recruiting purposes.

[MDS]

so he couldnt win in the worst bcs conference in college football, but hes going to beat drew brees, cam newton and a considerably average falcons team.

no.

[ice grillin you]

this goes for any BE school that would be put in position of hiring a coach this offseason...not just rutgers...i cant imagine how hard it is to make even a solid hire right now with the conf. in a shambles and not even guaranteed of a bcs bid in the future

[DH]

which makes it even worse because you can make a case that if rutgers had the same success as wvu has had over the past 10 years, there is a good chance they would have left the big east. whatever, go army.
