Bucs going after another college coach...Schiano from Rutgers to be announced soon

[rayzor]

DaveLozo This Greg Schiano news makes me sad and happy all at once. I hope for him Tampa Bay never has to beat WVU to reach the postseason.

:lol:

fwiw, that dave lozo is a NHL writer, but lives in new jersey and is a rutgers alum.

why? neither guy has any real experience in the NFL, but at least kelly has a progressive football mind that is in keeping with the direction the league is going. schiano is a throwback.

i wasn't really worried about either, but schiano is like jeff fisher. overrated and essentially heading towards being obsolete.

A run first coach in a pass happy div should be interesting. Hope he knows how to play small ball or his run want last long.

it must be true- its already on wiki pedia :D

Greg Schiano calling staff meeting now at Rutgers.

Must be to tell'em he's Tampa Bay bound

Ok good this Chud Watch is over for now. He will have atleast one more year here to help us get to the SB this coming year. Because we all know there will be other teams next year looking for a HC. Chud will most likely be right back on that list. Don't be to surprise if it happens. But that is a year from now. Chud start working on this coming year plan for Cam and this offense.:p

...of course we'll be so far into the playoffs next season, most HC hires will take place before other teams have a chance to talk to Chud...just ask Perry Fewell, DC NY Giants, how his HC job search is going! :cool:

Per The Pewter Plank@ThePewterPlank:

"Here's one thought, Rob Chudzinski was OC at Miami while Schiano was DC, making Chudz assistant HC could lure him from Carolina. #Bucs #NFL"

Please make it stop.

Slightly better than Petrino was for the Falcons

[Chaos]

Freeman + Schiano = ???

[CaptaINCrunchKing]

Wish we had a competent OC who had envisioned more of a longterm future with this team....rather than the uncomfortable situation we're in now. Oh well, we'll see what happens

[rayzor]

Freeman + Schiano = ???

Freeman + Schiano = perennial top 10 draft pick
