Urban has (at least at Ohio State) always requested a 2 year commitment from the assistants he hires. I won't guarantee anything, but I would expect he'll be here at least 2 years. And Urban is not going anywhere. [winking]
Schiano to OSU replacing Ash

Yup. It's another example of people here being too insular here thinking Schiano was still the hot name he used to be. Thinking DC in college is beneath him or even mid major HC and only DC in the NFL would be the lowest he should go. Could he have gotten a job? Sure because all it takes is convincing one, just like the TB owners but the likelihood wasn't good.
This is very good spot for him to learn from Urban, rehab his image and then for sure he could get another HC job in college and he'd probably be better off having done it. I didn't want Schiano this go around but the next go around for someone I think he could make a good candidate after a 2 year stint or so with Urban.
Now if we can get an OC like RR we'd be set.
Ha, I was just thinking how delicious it would be to go spread on his D and OSU fans be like WTF when he has LBs cover every WR.
Who said he was a god? Hyperbole much? Jesus, if you don't think he won't help OSU recruit NJ then I don't know what to tell you. The point is, OSU just picked up someone very familiar with our main recruiting base and who has ties here. OSU and Meyer could probably out recruit us anyway, but adding a guy who knows OUR turf and is respected by NJ coaches just adds fuel to the fire. Feel free to disagree.
Coming from the guy who heart attacked his way out of Florida. I don't believe a word what he says. Schiano is his boy so I'm sure no hard feelings when he leaves after 1 year.
I disagree. This just means we should definitely switch to the spread offense. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
Exactly right. Urban didn't need Schiano to help him recruit NJ. His name and OSU's name are enough.
It's not as much of a doomsday as you are all making it out to be. tOSU is going to cherry pick no matter who is there.
I'll be happy to see Schiano in the 3rd quarter and beyond since we know he can't make an adjustment.

"I mean, come on, if Meyer and Schiano knock on your front door together, are you not going to open it?"
Yep. The Buckeyes are right in the thick of things for the recruitment of quite a few 4 and 5 star defensive recruits and this might be the swing factor. Urban and GS are very good friends but this one surprised almost everyone. Huge, huge, big-time get. I thinks its safe to say that after this year;s disappointing results (think about that, 11-1 is disappointing by their standards), the Buckeyes are serious and aren't about to regress backwards.

Gonna be very interesting to see how coaches in NJ react to Greg selling "the state of Ohio" to them and their kids. Thinking it might not fly as well as some of you are thinking it will. Hopefully I'm right.
Also puts to rest the notion of sitting back and collecting the last of his 3M like some were saying. He could have but I've said this was the year to take a job, any job somewhere because the longer you're out the more stale your name becomes just like any other profession. I'm sure there's some offset and he'll still get his money but he needed to get back into the swing of it.
Why does everyone think GS is going to be recruiting NJ only? Maybe Urban wanted him to help out in Florida too since he's lived there for the last several years.
Biggest freaking headache.Cannot believe this was not preplanned. Hate on Delaney, Meyer and Alvarez. One week later OSU owns Jersey. Little hope now.
What does Ash say? I worked for Urban? GS says Urbn replaced him with me and I can get you to the NFL. Majorly pissed.
So Ash's potential edge was being an expert DC / DB coach. Schiano now nullifies this edge. Schiano probably now pulls the Michigan /PSU Nj recruits back to OSU where we are still are going to be fighting Temple UCONN Syracuse Maryland for scraps after the big boys clean up.
Umm, yea. So I'm a 4 star NJ football player and not sure if I was going to go to OSU or not until Greg Schiano knocks on my door? Urban Meyer wasn't going to convince me to go to one of the best programs in the country but Greg will.
You people are too funny who are panicking. This will not have much of an effect on our NJ recruiting. There will always be kids who want to stay home and play in front of their family and there will always be kids who want to get away and play for the name brand. Greg Schiano isn't going to make a difference in any of their decisions.
This may also be short-term good news for us. With Schiano there now, Ash might be able to bring in some OSU assistants for his staff. He might also decide not to coach in the OSU bowl game.
I agree with the general consensus this is not the "worst case scenario" based on tOSU not always going after the same recruits as us sans a couple.
But to think we will get any of the NJ Top 5 or NJ Top 10 that Urban ALSO WANTS is pretty unrealistic now.

I agree with this 100%. The worst case scenario would have been Schiano at UVA or MD. Schiano at MD isn't ideal for RU, but much better than having him go to at one of those schools.
Meyer can land pretty much any NJ player he wants, they only have so many scholorships to give, its not like they will take 20 NJ players. In grand scheme of things its means little really. OSU will do what OSU does
and for the guy that said GS will take over as head coach for Meyer...LMFAO keep thinking that
I'm really worried we're not going to be loading up on any of those top 10 Jersey guys like we have the last few years...
Believe what you want, no skin off my nose.
Withers: 2012-2013 before leaving
Herman: 2012-2014 before leaving
Ash: 2014-2015 before leaving
Good for him. I am not worried about the recruiting angle. We need to lock down NJ against TTFP, Wisconsin, South Carolina, MD, BC etc. first before we worry about OSU, UM, Bama and USC. If we do the former and get inspired coaching the latter will take care of itself.
This post makes absolutely zero sense. OSU is recruiting 4/5 stars from all over the country. They only have about 25 spots each year.

I was talking about big-time recruits around the country. Their in on several Southern and West coast recruits. Like it or not, GS is still a popular name out there especially as a defensive coordinator. I really don't think he influences any 2016 NJ recruits but who knows after that.

The Buccaneers allowed the second-fewest rushing yards per game (96.3) under Schiano during the 2012 and 2013 seasons, but Tampa Bay allowed the most passing yards per game (267.6) during his two seasons with the team.
All we need is a good passing game!

Not without the Pitt guys, recruiting wasn't all that great here until they came on board. OSU will get whoever they want no matter who is over there,
Damn it, I used to think his initials, G.
S., stood for Garden State. I now know his initials stand Go Screw. C.A. on the other hand stands for Caroo Assault. For the love of Pete this has been planned all along. There really is a Rutgers screw plot going on. Schiano has been part of it all along. With that said, EFF SCHIANO! Who cares where he goes. Are guy either gets it done or he doesn't. Schiano is now a glorified Cristobal in my oppinion. Fight or Flight baby!

So how much you guys think OSU is going to pay greg? I cannot imagine it is going to be over $1m. Even if he is at that amount the fact that he didn't even give RU a sniff means he left at least $1m on the table.
It's not any more or less realistic than it was before Schiano to OSU. If a recruit opts to go to RU over OSU, it will continue to be for the same reasons it would've been before Schiano became their DC. Because (a) better chance for playing time, (b) staying close to home, (c) other.
OSU always has good coordinators and a great head coach. And they can always recruit because they're recruiting to a program with a legitimate chance to win a NC each and every year (at least right now). Schiano makes no difference to this either way.
They are good friends and Schiano and Meyer talked regularly and worked together at clinics or camps. Schiano will build a scary good defense at OSU.
