True, but in the NFL you may only be enjoying it for one or two seasons.

You mean like Turner Gill? It's all about money nowdays. Could happen to us some year

And never having to worry about recruiting again.

Yep. In the NFL, the offseason is truly the offseason. College recruiting is a year around job.

Mario Cristobal would be a good hire for Rutgers IMHO.

Really hurts Rutgers, but its a no lose for Schiano. He is already considered a good college coach whose name has been bounced around BCS openings. Now he can go to the NFL and either succeed, or get fired and end up back in college with a BCS school. Nick Saban and Bobby Petrino survived awkward, short NFL coaching stints to have great college success again afterwards. I think he can join Harbaugh as college coaches who transition to good NFL coaches. I like the hire for Tampa Bay, I am a Greg Schiano fan. Really a win-win for Schiano...the money aint bad either folks.

Actually folks forget his parents were pushing Notre Dame the whole time....especially his dad....had nothing to do with Callahan....

Turned out to be a huge mistake on his part....and perhaps he wouldn't have blossomed at Nebraska either....

Have to smile a little at this, as I got caught with the same thought and then realized that Rutgers is a BCS school! (guess that shows the power of the Big East).

You think Trevor Robinson had a bad career? He played in 48 games and had 40 starts. He became just the fifth freshman to start on Notre Dame's offensive line since 1972.

Something tells me we really could have used Trevor Robinson.

Nothing special in my opinion....

Greg Schiano was supposed to be at Don Bosco Preparatory School promptly at 8 a.m. Thursday morning to recruit some key prospects.That never happened.
As scheduled, five Rutgers assistant coaches showed up at the Ramsey, N.J., school, which showcases several highly rated prospects each year. The coaches were focused on securing current commitment Leonte Carroo, a three-star receiver, and Darius Hamilton, a four-star defensive end who is primarily considering the Scarlet Knights and Florida.
"The coaches were kind of shocked," Don Bosco coach Greg Toal said. "They said 'Coach Schiano, he's never late for anything.' "
At first, the coaches thought Schiano might have gotten caught up in another meeting, despite the importance of the Don Bosco appointment.
"They didn't think it was any big deal," Toal said of their initial response. "They didn't know that he was in negotiations or anything like that."

This is the part of things I don't get... I'm thinking it had to do with secrecy/confidentiality surrounding the offer and negotiations.

It's very unfortunate, to the point of being downright wrong. You don't treat people like that.

IMHO he would have started at least 2-years at Nebraska at RG. Sure he is no All-American, but 40 starts is 40 starts. Nebraska could have used him for sure....not to mention Riley Reiff and Dan Hoch.
