I am very happy for RutgersAl, a great guy who deserves a little hope.

Schiano is no longer a young man (53).  He has a massive rebuild on his hands, very similar to the last time he took the job.

The difference is that Rutgers is now in a much better conference than the one he was coaching in before.  He didn’t have success at Rutgers until Miami and BC left, Syracuse collapsed and bad programs like USF and UConn were brought in to allow the conference to survive.

I don’t see this affecting Syracuse much.  We might lose a recruit or two in Florida to them, though I expect he will have a harder time recruiting there with no conference members based in  Florida.  Our current staff has essentially stopped recruiting NY, NJ and PA, so any success he has there will not matter to our program.

Great news for NYS HS football though.  Many of Schiano’s best players came from New York and he understands there is value in recruiting the state more than many others.  I bet a couple of his assistants will have very strong ties to New York State.
