“Leading up to the draft, I couldn’t help but think that this should’ve been Eric’s draft class. This small gesture is the least we could do to recognize his character, spirit, and perseverance. The way Eric lives his life epitomizes what we are looking for in Buccaneer Men.”

“Well, I love this place. I love Rutgers. It was 11 years of everything I had. Saying goodbye to the players was the hardest part – they’re my sons. I really feel like from the day we got here that we were going to do it the right way and build it the right way, and make it last. And I just think this program is set to go.”

You can say all you want about the glaring holes on his resume:

Greg Schiano never won a Big East title.

Greg Schiano never beat West Virginia.

Greg Schiano never did much more than break even in 11 seasons as head coach at Rutgers.

I say this: Schiano rescued Rutgers football. He turned a longtime doormat into much more than just a respectable program. He turned the Scarlet Knights into winners, all while graduating his players and turning out more than his share of NFL prospects.

For that, he should be forever embraced in New Jersey.

“That’s, for a lot of reasons, the big one, the biggest, is respect for Army, Army football, really for all our armed forces both overseas and back home,” Schiano said. “The class that coach Rich Ellerson and Army football program showed towards Rutgers this past year has been incredible.”

“The NFL’s good. Money’s good. But I never had money growing up. My family didn’t have money. My mom’s an accountant. My dad’s a cable guy. They don’t care that they weren’t rich. They’re the two happiest people on the planet. They live life the way it should be lived and passed that onto their kids. Money doesn’t buy happiness. I’ll tell you what is happiness to me: Jumping up and down on the 50-yard line, right on the ‘R’ surrounded by three cops and my teammates. That’s happiness.”
