Apparently, a local radio station in Tampa has bought some "Fire Schiano" time on a highway billboard. Sounds like a bad situation getting worse.
Anyone remember back a few years when Schiano turned Michigan down, leading very quickly to the desperation hire of Rich Rodriguez? I used to think Schiano would have been a better option. Now I'm not so sure. Well, I am sure. He would have been a better option. But not by much. |

He's a program builder, not a high level winning coach. I don't think Kyle Flood is the answer for Rutgers heading into the B1G, but I know, seeing how he coached over his last couple years here, that Schiano would not have been successful in that league.
Outside of the story of Schiano personally leaking the Freeman/drugs thing to the media, I've believed every word of what I heard coming out of Tampa, and wasn't surprised by any of it. You can't be a bad coach AND treat millionaire professionals like they're 19 year old kids. Tom Coughlin got away with doing that because he actually was a good coach. Schiano was a micromanager to the fullest extent, and that turned away coaches from wanting to work for him. It's why he needed to bring so many Rutgers coaches with him to Tampa...the pool of coaches that could tolerate him was very small. He's a great defensive mind but he also knows nothing about offense yet refused to turn that area of the game over to his assistants and not meddle. Once he's fired, he could probably join Belichick as his DC as they run the same system (a reason so many Rutgers kids are on that team). If a big program school makes a run at him, I'll laugh and laugh. |

Its quite simple. Some coaches and their coaching techniques do much better in college than pro. Some coaches are the opposite. While football might be football, coaching a 19-22 year old walk on or scholarship player is nothing like coaching a grown man making millions of dollars.
Spurrier comes to mind, good with NCAA, poor at NFL. Schiano is the same. He will be a fine NCAA coach as he can be the hard ass 'my way or the highway' with kids. His shit doesn't fly down in TB, and it wont work anywhere else. The only way you get to operate like that is when you have an established body of work at that level of pro sports. Coughlin and Bellichick can get away with things that say Kubiak would not. Schiano is no Kubiak. In three years he will be a HC in a mid level NCAA program. Bank it.

Find it very odd that Logan and I mentioned the same 3 coaches in our answers, as I was writing before seeing his post.

My favorite example of this was Jerry Tarkanian. He was all world at UNLV, and didn't make it 40 games in the NBA. His assistant coaches however, Ron Adams and Tim Grgurich(sp?) stuck in the NBA. Adams to this day, and Grg..err..Tim, until he retired. When Tark was coaching at Fresno State, I'd occasionally see better coaches take total advantage of Jerry's kids. I was lamenting that Tark left his brain in the NBA. To give Tark credit, he'd occasionally fire his team up such that they stuck with better coached teams, like Bill Self's teams at Tulsa. |

RR likes to talk about how he almost because 'Bama's coach which led to Saban going there instead. He would have gown down in flames there as well. I remember people here talking about how Schiano was more of a recruiter than a good game management type of guy. My response was he was being asked to do the one thing he wasn't good at and wasn't allowed to do the one thing he was good at. I'm not surprised he's failing there. I know Rutgers likely has some sort of ceiling in terms of how far the program can go, but he seemed like a guy who needed to build the program more before getting an NFL job. At least with Saban, he had more years in the NFL and a higher position.

Mike James might be an ok back though, from what little I saw of him. He picks up blitzes really well, seems to have decent hands, and runs effectively.

I saw Steve Mariucci tonight and I said, "Hey Coach! The weather sure is nice in Tampa. Think about it." and he was about to say something, then just smiled, shook his head and slapped my back as he walked past.

How different would we be viewing the Panthers right now if Williams hadn't fumbled in the red zone at the end of the Seattle game or if Rivera had just gone for a damn 4th and 1 to seal the Buffalo game.

I see them as a legit threat anyway. Their defense is so consistently good and Kuechly might be the best LB in the league.

Well, at least we have fans with a sense of humor. A Schiano Breaking Bad Chem Suit (ref to MRSA drama). And the most damning sign in the endzone that read "Schiano is worse than MRSA"

How do the Pats do it? I swear someone has a deal with the devil for the way teams fall apart playing them.

One of the worst calls I have ever seen in an NFL football game. A defensive lineman battles for the football, dives to the ground and hits the ball and it's a penalty? Holy hell, that is just comical. "Well, they've had some good breaks today" Phil Simms Ummm, understatement of the history of the planet. What a joke. |

The Chiefs just recovered a fumble by a Browns punt returner (and good thing, because the Browns would have had the ball at the Chiefs 40 down 3 if they hadn't. First play after the fumble, they call a flea flicker and get sacked.
At least it turned out better than the Theisman one. In typical Browns fashion, they allow a screen pass to go for 20 to the clearly hobbled Charles and give up a first down. (sorry for the sarcasm, but the guy has the third most carries in the NFL and the second most touches. They just showed the the replay of the Dolphin. He didn't bat that ball. I stick with what I said. That call was terrible. Just terrible. |

At least the Dolphins went ahead a cleared up the rest of the football season for me. No sense in watching them crash and burn yet again.

It'll be interesting to see if the Chiefs can hang with some of the high-scoring teams.

Another week, another win. The trick play by the Browns made it a game, but another great final quarter for the defense as they shut down the Browns when they need to do so. The penalties in the 4th quarter caused by the crowd noise were also crucial.

Lions have out gained the Cowboys by 300 yards and are losing.
Or not.

wow what a scoring drive by Detroit and the fake down call by Stafford for the TD. Dez Bryant screaming at Romo and Witten, and Megatron clearly shows who's the better receiver. What a game by him.
