The former Scarlet Knights coach was hired Thursday, more than three weeks after the Bucs fired Raheem Morris following a 4-12 record.

“We are thrilled to introduce Coach Schiano as the new head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,” Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer said in a statement. “During our thorough search, we met with numerous impressive candidates, but Greg Schiano surely distinguished himself. From his leadership skills to his impressive track record, he is, simply put, the right man for the job.” — ESPN

Rutgers Athletic Director Tim Pernetti says the search for his replacement is underway. He has appointed Kyle Flood as interim coach.
