It has been official for a week now. Kirk Ciarrocca is the new offensive coordinator at Rutgers.
The board approved Ciarrocca’s salary at $1.4 million per year, making him the highest-paid assistant in program history. Ciarrocca is an experienced offensive mind in the Big Ten, previously working with Penn State and Minnesota. Of course, this is not his first time in Piscataway and will reunite with Greg Schiano.
There are many holes in Rutgers’ offense and it was among the worst in the nation this past season. Now that there has been time to digest the hiring, let’s take a look at some of the discussions surrounding Ciarrocca.
