Greg Schiano '100 percent staying at Ohio State,' not ready to talk Tennessee yet

Greg Schiano is staying at Ohio State, he's not joining the New England Patriots and he won't talk about Tennessee - yet.

The former Rutgers coach officially committed to the Buckeyes for a third season as defensive coordinator despite reports he would join Bill Belichick's Patriots staff as defensive coordinator and return to the NFL.

"This has become home," Schiano told reporters Wednesday at a national signing day press conference in Columbus. He also made a "promise" to the press he will discuss his aborted hire as Tennessee's head coach in December following immense (and many would argue unfair) public backlash after his planned hiring leaked, but said he wasn't ready yet.
