Just got fired at Ohio State. Has ties to Belichick.

His twin boys will be playing football at Amherst College in the fall. 

 

 

I am THRILLED by this move. Last season Barrett handcuffed our offense. This season, Schiano handicapped our defense. 

 

If you would have told me after last season that Daboll did a much better job than Schiano in 2018, I would have been shocked.

He’s probably a better NFL DC than college DC. His defense is too complex and pro style for the varying levels of talent and experience at the college level. Conversely i think he is a better college HC than NFL HC.

I just hope he finds a way to neutralize the Pats LBs like he did the Bucks!! Hope he gets Bill Davis on the phone

LOL.  Despised by his players.

 

Will field an all Rutgers D.

His college players liked him. I think he’s a better fit for college kids. But just not as DC. He will inherit the McCourty brothers for the Rutgers flavor.

In Tampa, he thought he had to exhibit discipline, but never worked.  He most likely will not do well unless BB is really calling the plays.

He does now, I think. If he assumed Flores “DC” position he basically be LB coach and def assistant.

I'm thrilled.  Terrible human and a terrible coach.  

Yes if not an even bigger reason to dislike the Patriots. This guy when he was at Rutgers had one good season, was about a .500 coach his tenure there but thought he was God.  I heard a giant douche as well behind the scenes

could compete for the post belichick era. 

Let's be real.  McDaniels is being groomed to take over.  If him turning down the HC job in Indianapolis last year and him taking himself out of any Head coaching jobs this season isn't an indicator of that, then I don't know what is.

I agree that he’s the heir apparent.  But he did interview for the Packers job, he just didn’t get it. And he was reportedly interested in the Browns job, but they didn’t reach out to him.

he probably would've turned those down too.  I honestly think he's just selling himself short during that interview and throwing smoke in what he's interested in.  He's definitely their heir apparent.

I’m guessing the Packers interview involved free brats. 

 

That’s a weird deal up there. You want a Franchise QB, but do you want to deal with Aaron Rodgers? Of course there’s the weather to consider. My sister lives nearby. They are getting above zero most days this week for the highs.

What sucks about this news is that I take it to mean Belichick probably isn’t thinking of retiring just yet, even with a Super Bowl win. 

 

I hope I'm wrong. I’d love to see Brady go into his age 42 season without Belichick as his head coach...

Yeah, it’s a shame he had to work with all of that sub par talent at OSU. That school just can’t catch a break.

That’s why he got fired. Can’t field the worst defense in program history. It wasn’t because of all the 4 and 5 star players. The nuance here though is that the players are not all at the same level, despite how highly they were recruited. You can’t run the exact same defense with Damon Arnette , Kendall Sheffield, and “Safety of the Week” that you ran with Marshon Lattimore, Gareon Conley and Malik Hooker (all 1st rd picks). All the players you reload with have potential,  but they are not the same. Those guys might play in the nfl but they aren’t 1st round picks. He had true freshman out there hung out to dry in 1:1 coverage because he can’t not be super aggressive. You have to adjust to your talent and he never did.

He actually had 6 good season at Rutgers, factoring in that Rutgers was historically terrible prior to his arrival. https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/coaches/greg-schiano-1.html

He was DC at the U of Miami in 1999 and 2000, and the defenses were excellent.  For instance: https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/miami-fl/2000.html .

 

 

Just sayin' -- there's a lot of false info floating around in this thread. People need to at least a little bit of research! (not referring to you, @YoloinOhio)

One game when Tampa played the Giants & the Giants were in victory formation he had his D linemen go over the line & tackle Eli Manning.  He said afterwards that the game wasn't over.  The Giants were smoking hot after he pulled that stunt.  Right then I said he wasn't NFL head coaching material.
