Football: Rutger's Shiano signs new contract.

[E.T.]

He's signed through 2016 . . .

We need to continue donating to USF Athletics to pay our coaches. In the next few years with our expected success, there may be some crasy numbers thrown Leavitt's way  

Go BULLS !!!  [smiley=GoBulls.gif]

$2.2 Million a year, is what they were saying in January. Is that what it came out as?

he is worth every penny

he took one of worst programs ever and made them a top 25 team

[Greg Auman]

Looks like $1.5-million a year, which is good now, but can't imagine that contract staying intact even five years. The buyout is $1-million, which is double Leavitt's right now ...

When the Penn State job opens (probably after 2008) I would think it would be between Tom Bradley and Schiano for the position. Schiano will be getting another raise that year, mark it down.

[JoeB]

Yep, PSU will be all over Schiano I would think when Paterno finally retires.  Not sure if RU will be able to compete with the deep pockets of PSU and the facilities they have as well.  Plus its pretty much the face of North East College Football.  

[Triple B]

Does Schiano have ties to PSU? And do you think he would really want to be first to follow JoePa? Following a legend usually doesn't turn out so good...

[Joe]

Ya he was a grad assistant, then secondary coach from 1990 - 1995. He's very close with JoePa.

I don't think he'll follow, but he will use it to get a NICE raise.

[E.T.]

I wouldn't be surprised if Galen Hall follows JoePa.

I just hope Shiano continues making Rutgers a strong team, good for The Big East.

Pumped for that Thursday night game up there, they may be undefeated also.  8-)

Go BULLS !!!
