NFL: Schiano to Tampa Bay

I was going to post this but I couldn't stop laughing. No offense to Rutgers, hes a good fit there, but this move has failure written all over it for TB.
That is a HUGE blow to Rutgers football. He is pretty much the only reason they are where they are now. I can see them falling off quite a bit with a new coach, even with the talent that Schiano has brought in.
Interesting to see if this affects the pursuit of Rutgers in conference realignment scenarios.

it won't. CPR just signed a huge extension. No school is going to pony up the buyout at this point. A few years from now, when the buyout is lower, maybe, or possibly if he wins a BCS game, but not now.
Do they have any recruits that would be worth ISU trying to pick off? I know it's not likely that any would switch to ISU but it would be a very minor payback for the bowl game.
Wow, Rutgers must have been his favorite school growing up with those kind of offers.
I think his recruitment had as much to do with proximity. I think he stays with Rutgers. I think the ever switching JJ Denman will see some teams get back on him.
Logs like most of their commits are from NJ and Penn, not really where we recruit. So I doubt we had much communication with most of them. They do have a lot of quality kids committed, for now at least. Hawk fans are wetting their panties over the idea of poaching some of them.
They have a very solid class coming in. It could be devastating to watch them scramble a week from NSD. I think the question to ask is has he built the program up enouhg to stand on its own 2 feet or do they need to go after a "sexy name" for a coach?
I think you are right about proximity. He was down to Rutgers, Neb, and Iowa. Sounded like Rutgers played the staying close to home pitch pretty hard. I hope the Hawk coaches at least test the waters with Schiano leaving.
Bucs go from everything but hiring Chip Kelly to hiring Schiano? Anybody else think that this is an strange move? I feel pretty bad for the RU fans. After beating us their coach yelled up to the player who was paralyzed and said "this ones for you" and then he leaves the program. I bet no RU fan saw this coming.
