Greg Schiano Says Rutgers Has 'Meant the World' After Being Announced as HC

The Rutgers Board of Governors officially approved contract terms Tuesday, resulting in Greg Schiano's return to the program as head football coach.

Schiano said the following Tuesday after being announced as the Scarlet Knights' new head coach:

"Rutgers University and this football program have meant the world to me and my family. I arrived here in 2000 with the goal to build a program that would be a source of pride for the state of New Jersey and develop great young men. I look forward to embracing that challenge once again. This is a great opportunity for all of Rutgers to pull together to get us back to where we all know we belong.
