Madison Square Garden is the venue for the Annual Frank McGuire Foundation High School Coaches Seminar | 7th
Annual Frank McGuire Foundation High School Coaches SeminarMay

| Rutgers
head coach Greg Schiano envisioned the 2006 magical season “On the Banks” from
the first day he became the leader of the Scarlet Knights on Dec. 1, 2000.He said
then “We're going to win at Rutgers and we're going to do it the right way.”
According
to Rutgers, Schiano's impact as head coach is evidenced in all aspects of the
Rutgers football program. Schiano and his staff have continued to upgrade the
level of talent by recruiting student-athletes with outstanding athleticism and
great character, all part of the building process that continues to result in
on-field success. Schiano,
who grew up in Wyckoff, New Jersey and graduated from Ramapo High School, is the
27th head coach of Rutgers' Scarlet Knights, the nation's oldest college football
program. According to Rutgers media sources, on taking the job Schiano said: "This
program will be built on a rock foundation. It will take longer than building
it on stilts, but when it's built, it will be built forever. This is where I started;
this is where I was striving to get back to. I'm thrilled to be here. It's time."
Success
appears to be part of Schiano's career. When he was the defensive coordinator
at Miami (1999-2000), the Hurricanes posted a 20-5 record, including an 11-1 record,
the No. 2 national ranking and the Sugar Bowl championship in 2000. During his
tenure there, the Hurricanes boasted one of the top scoring defenses in the nation
and were the stingiest defensive squad in the BIG EAST Conference. Visit
