Greg Schiano has just announced another monstrous addition to his team, as he tends to solidify his team walls with this monumental deal.

Greg Schiano, who prefers to fortify his team walls with this massive contract, has now revealed another gigantic addition to his team.

Greg Schiano, who returned to Rutgers as head coach in 2020, will lead the team to its second bowl game. Schiano’s contract has been extended through the 2030 campaign.

About two weeks before the Scarlet Knights (6-6) take on Miami (7-5) in the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium on December 28, athletic director Pat Hobbs made the announcement about the arrangement on Wednesday.

Schiano’s salary for the upcoming season is $6.25 million. When he assumed leadership for the 2020 campaign, he inked an eight-year contract at $4 million per year.

Before the game later this month, Schiano, who leads the program in wins all-time with 86, has led the Scarlet Knights to eight bowl games. Under Schiano, the Scarlet Knights had a 5-2 record in bowl games. Thirteen players were named All-Big Ten by the end of the 2023 regular season, which is the second-highest number in the program’s history.

“In four years, Coach Schiano has transformed our program, this year resulting in bowl eligibility,” Hobbs stated. “Building successful programs requires consistency. To guide the Scarlet Knights in the upcoming years, we have the ideal personnel and captain.”

In his two years at Rutgers, Schiano, 57, transformed a dreary program into a worthy one between 2001 and 2011. He took a break from football to serve as head coach of the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers for two seasons. From 2016 to 2018, he returned to Ohio State as a coordinator and coach.

After Texas A&M was forced to withdraw due to a outbreak, Schiano led the Scarlet Knights to the Gator Bowl in 2020 against Wake Forest. “Rutgers is home to my family and me, and we are blessed to have the opportunity to build a championship program right here in New Jersey,” Schiano said.

Rutgers not only won all six of its non-conference games in 2023, but they also tied the team record for most Big Ten victories (3-6) in a season. It had a four-game losing streak towards the end of the season.

Rutgers ranked 27th nationally in opponents’ average points allowed, averaging just 21.0. The team has the ninth-best red zone defense, is ranked 11th in passing yards allowed (175.9), and ranks 19th overall in the nation (313.7) in total defense.

The Big Ten’s top rusher, Kyle Monangai, leads the Scarlet Knights offensively with 1,099 running yards on 217 carries.

Schiano-led squads continue to be distinguished by their academic achievement in addition to their athletic accomplishments. During his first term, the Scarlet Knights led the country in academic progress rate in 2010 and placed second in 2011. For each of Schiano’s final five seasons in his first tenure, the program was the only state university to be ranked in the top 10% nationally in APR. The Scarlet Knights have had 195 honorees named to the Academic All-Big Ten list since his return.
