Greg Schiano could be returning Rutgers after all.
A source close to the New Jersey university, the coach and insiders in the football program, told The Associated Press on Wednesday night there is now optimism an agreement can be reached. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because the information was not authorized for public release.
“I think there is a chance of getting it done,” the source said.
The source said no talks have taken place since the university announced Sunday that an eight-year, $32 million deal—with $25 million guaranteed, along with $7.5 million to spend on coaches and football operations staff—to bring back Schiano had fallen apart.
