Greg Schiano is returning to Rutgers.
Athletic Director Pat Hobbs announced Sunday that the university and Schiano had reached a contract agreement, a week after talks to bring back the coach fell apart.
“The next great chapter for Rutgers Football is about to begin,” Hobbs said in a statement.
The contract must be approved by the university’s board of governors. It is scheduled to meet Tuesday to discuss the hiring.
Hobbs called the negotiations complex.
“It wouldn’t be appropriate to prejudge any action that the Board of Governors may take, but I believe today that Rutgers Football is on the path to greatness,” Hobbs said.
