Rutgers’ Schiano Says No Thanks to Michigan
December 7, 2007 |
Man, what is going on with Michigan? It’s starting to seem like nobody wants to coach there. The latest coach to turn down the traditional Big 10 power is Rutgers’ Greg Schiano. Schiano said:
“I was contacted earlier this week about the Michigan coaching vacancy, but I have decided to remove my name from consideration,” Schiano said in a statement released by the university Friday. “I look forward to our third straight bowl game and to bringing a national championship to Rutgers and the state of New Jersey.
So he didn’t want to leave Rutgers. That’s right, Rutgers. When you have coaches choosing to stay at Rutgers rather than come to your school, you’re in biiiiig trouble.
Schiano finished a disappointing 87th in our rankings, but has been responsible for taking a woeful Rutgers team and turning them into perennial Big East contenders.
And in case you’ve missed the whole Michigan coach-search debacle, here’s a video from The Palestra that sums it up nicely:
