With the news that Rutgers is hiring Greg Schiano as head coach of the football program, athletic director Pat Hobbs issued a statement on Sunday that stated the following:
“The next great chapter for Rutgers Football is about to begin.”
“There are many people to thank for where we are today, particularly Coach Schiano and his team, as well as everyone here at Rutgers. They all played important roles in bringing these complex negotiations to a close.”
“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.
