Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 279717, member: 837"] I agree to a large extent on Schiano as a game-day coach but feel it should be pointed out that being a successful college coach is probably as dependent -- if not more dependent -- on non-game day related activities than it is on Xs and Os. Especially if you consider that coordinators can handle those details. So while I think Schiano did indeed fail to translate all the success he had Sun-Fri on Saturdays, I tend to think it had more to do with not quite finding the right mix of coordinators. I mean, it's not like his teams didn't play hard or lacked talent. He was obviously a driving force behind stuff like the facilities upgrades the acquisition of a helicopter (which we can make fun of but I guarantee it impressed several 17-year-olds). I mean, the guy may have played weak schedules and had something of a house of cards, but rescuing RU from the depths to which they had sunk was a minor miracle. [/QUOTE]
