Coming off a 4-8 record last season, Schiano knew a shake-up was needed in the off-season. He brought in a trio of seasoned and proven coaches to help on the offensive side of the ball.
Kirk Ciarrocca, who last year was the offensive coordiantor at Minnesota, was brought in for the same position at Rutgers. He also added offensive line coach Pat Flaherty, who spent over two decades in the NFL and won two Super Bowls with the New York Giants as their offensive line coach.
He also hired wide receivers coach Dave Brock, who spent his previous five years coaching in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons.
These hires show significant investment on the offensive side of the ball, an area where Rutgers struggled greatly last season.
One area where Schiano hasn’t received enough credit is recruiting, especially this year. According to 247Sports, Rutgers football is ranked No. 27 in the country for their 2024 recruiting class under Schiano.
