Recruits!
Wow, a week before signing day and he bolts, BOB should raid those recruits right away. Nobody should want to go to school at rutgers and play football if Schiano is not there.
Nobody should want to go to school at Rutgers and play football PERIOD.
Run.

Fuller and Denman I think.
I am not an expert in this stuff though.
If they ever tell my story let them say that I walked with giants. Men rise and fall like the winter wheat, but these names will never die. Let them say I lived in the time of Bradley, tamer of offenses. Let them say I lived in the time of Paterno.
Mmmm... Leftovers.

Classless Move
5 days before national signing day, and you bail out as head coach. That is classless. What a way to wreck a program that you were building.
He's been there for ten years, he isn't building anything anymore.
When it comes to anything concerning the Big East, there’s only one thing to day:
“Forget it Christof, it’s the Big East.”
Run.

But what's worse?
Bailing 5 days before
OR
Bailing after they’re already stuck there?
Good question
And its not like he’s been sitting on this for weeks only to spring it on them now. It just happened. And its not like he can’t be the coach of Rutgers for 1 more week until signing day is over (or maybe even the new coach is hired).
Plus, who here really wouldnt do the same thing in his position? If someone came to you offering a much better job, but it was a week before some big project or something, would you really say no? I doubt it. You’d just hand it off to the next guy to take over the best you can and then move on to greener pastures.

I'm happy about this!
There were some Schiano fans who thought he would be a good HC for us. That hymen is broken, I hope, based on this classless move by GS.
Any chance Rutgers will call Scrap? I’d rather see him there than elsewhere in the B1G.

If Rutgers has half a brain they would....
They should have seen all they needed to know the last 3 months..
You're a nobody.
Apparently, quite a few of us are nobodies.

You are all cool AND handsome,
except for the Divas, who are ultra-cool and hot, at the same time.
Leaving a team and a bunch of recruits FIVE days before NLOI strikes me as being the same as inviting a bunch of underage kids to a kegger, then leaving before the cops show up.
I guess this steams me, too, because for years people have used the “Joe won’t be coaching you for your entire four years — better not go there!” argument to sway recruits. He outlasted — what? almost 900 HC changes — in part because they lied or misled recruits as to how long they would be at their respective schools.
JMO.
Oh, and your Moms are all hot, too.

i know but hes supposed to turn down this offer cause of the timing?
It could be the only one he gets in his life to jump to the NFL. I cant blame a guy for going to the NFL if that is what he wants. Its a promotion. Its a dream a lot of these guys have. If he was leaving Rutgers for Utah, then yea its stupid.
Is it unfortunate for Rutgers, their fans and their recruits? Yes. But classless is over the top in my view. He was offered a better job, one that could be once in a lifetime, and he took it. Plain and simple.
I can see your point, swiggy.
I guess it just seems ironic because, just in this recruiting class, Denman dropped us to go to a “stable” program and Pinnix-Odrick (Jared’s half-bro) supposedly said something about not picking Penn State because of the age of the staff or whatever. Maybe I am being unkind . . . wouldn’t be the first — probably not the last.
Maybe those guys will look at us (again) now that our staff is settled.

I still feel it's a horrible thing to do.
He could at least give notice internally and allow the athletic department to proceed how they see fit (which might have been the case). I would think they would want another coach in place before announcing he’s leaving, especially with this timing.
It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one's steps to the upper air - there's the rub, the task.

Well
TB is under pressure to announce who their coach is, they have fans, players, assistants, support staff, etc. who are affected by a coaching vacancy/new hire, and especially with pre-draft and free agency work to be done, they needed to announce the hire. In turn, that means it would also be made known that he was gone from Rutgers.
Due to the timing, somebody was going to get burned here, and it’s hard to really criticize Schiano for taking the once-in-a-lifetime chance for a middling college coach like himself.

Precisely.
You guys act like a job is a lifetime commitment. It’s a job. He stayed at Rut-freakin-gers for 11 years. Seems to me like he’s done enough time.
