Current AP thoughts

A few things stick out here:

1) Yes… Pruitt was STILL better for this program than Schiano would have been.

2) Auburn hasn’t been ranked in 55 weeks of football?? Yeeeesh.

3) Awful lot of Big10 in there for all that big boy talk lately…

He should have never left Rutgers the first time around. Some people don’t realize they had a good thing going until it’s gone.

I think he probably made more $$ in the NFL

He only finished ranked once in his first stint. In 2006.

My first wife said that to me once.

I’m not sure Schiano is worse than Pruitt. They both suck. I guess there are different levels to Dante’s hell but you’re still in hell. Both sides Wood have a pretty good argument.

His salaries were basically the same. The opportunities were different for sure. Rutgers versus the NFL and Jersey versus Tampa Bay.

In 2011, Greg Schiano was the head coach for the Rutgers University football team. His contract with Rutgers at that time was for a base salary of $785,000 for the 2011 calendar year, according to ESPN.

He signed a deal with Tampa for 5 years and $15 million.

So no, the money wasn't anywhere similar.

Schiano is a better football coach than Pruitt but probably would have ended like Butch. Couple decent but overall frustrating seasons and then a bad QB year crashes it down.
