Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano hasn’t delivered the level of success that that Scarlet Knights were hoping for in his first three years at the helm. That has one anonymous coach wondering if he’ll ever have it at all.
In an interview with Athlon Sports, one anonymous Big Ten coach had some major questions for how Schiano intends to move forward. The coach said that the buzz is gone, they have no new quarterbacks with any experience and there’s growing pressure for him to win again like he did in Rutgers’ Big East days.
“Whatever buzz Greg had by going back, it’s pretty much gone. He’s turned over a significant amount of staff, and word is out that it’s a highly stressful environment. They had two quarterbacks play poorly last year, and they changed the coaches but didn’t portal any new QBs. That tells you something. There’s building pressure for them to get it right and back, but that’s not possible. The guys who hired him back think they can have those Big East seasons again,” the coach said.
That’s a lot of potential issues that Schiano is working with.

The Scarlet Knights have had eight straight losing seasons and just one winning season since joining the Big Ten in 2014.
Rutgers did everything in their power to bring Schiano into the fold and it still hasn’t been enough for them to contend with the heavy hitters in the conference.
2023 might be Schiano’s hot seat year if he doesn’t show results quickly.
