The drama continues, as NJ Advance Media’s Steve Politi, Keith Sargeant, and James Kratch reported on Wednesday afternoon that there is “a growing belief all hope is not lost between Greg Schiano and the university and his return as head football coach can still be salvaged”, citing several sources.
After Schiano withdrew his name from consideration last Sunday, it became clear that Rutgers was back to square one in the coaching search to replace Chris Ash. With all of the obvious advantages in the short term to make a reunion happen, it drew outrage among the fan base, donors, and former players that Rutgers wasn’t willing to do what was necessary to close out a deal.
