The Tampa Bay Buccaneers hire Greg Schiano as their new head coach

The Buccaneers have hired 45-year old Greg Schiano to be their new head coach.  Schiano rebuilt a Rutgers’ football program that was in the dumps when he took over.  He compiled a 68-67 (50.4%) record during the regular season in his 11 years at Rutgers.  He was also a very impressive 5-1 (83.3%) in bowl games at Rutgers.  Schiano was a defensive assistant coach for the Bears from 1996-98, so he does have some experience in coaching in the NFL, but, it was a long time ago.  College coaches usually have a lot of trouble in the NFL as they can’t make their own schedule and they all have the same amount of money to spend on salaries.  I think the Bucs should have hired a veteran NFL head coach.

    Don’t jump the gun. It’s not official yet. More than likely, but not 100% official just yet.

    Hey Bucs Fan….it’s official now. This is likely going to be a disaster for the Bucs. They should have hired Mike Sherman or Marty Schottenheimer.
