OT: Today, in the world of, 'What have you done?'

I mean the very obvious answer is that he did a fantastic job at Rutgers the first time around? Before he got there that program had literally never won a bowl game, and they turned right back into a dumpster fire the moment the players he recruited left. But over the latter half of his tenure there they were consistently winning 8-9 games, and one year they were even ranked in the top 10.

I doubt this will work out but they’re arguably the worst program in any Power 5 conference right now, so might as well try something.

This.

Yeah. It seems like it should be a good move.

I have some skepticism about "going home again" moves, how often they actually work out. There's a whiff of "tail between the legs" to it: Schiano thought he could succeed in the big bad NFL, but naw. Ultimately I kinda don't want it to work out, because I don't want things to get even harder for Maryland – maybe that's the real reason behind my "skepticism". But he seems the obvious choice for them: the only guy who's actually won there.

Did the move to the B1G happen after he left? Or were they there when he was there?

After he left
