Rutgers to keep coach Schiano despite back-to-back losing seasons
Rutgers coach Greg Schiano will return to coach the Scarlet Knights in 2027, the school announced Tuesday.
It will be his 19th season as head coach at the school over two stints. Rutgers is 2-7 amid back-to-back losing seasons.
Athletic director Keli Zinn said the results are "not acceptable" and told ESPN there were a "number of factors" that led to Schiano's retention.
"Most specifically, the plan Coach Schiano and I were able to at length visit about and review," Zinn said in a phone interview. "I do believe he has an opportunity in the offseason to really strengthen the roster and make changes to position us to a higher level of competitiveness for next season."
