The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have hired Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano.  If your a Bucs fan does this hire excite you?  Schiano did take a struggling Rutgers program and made it relevant, but for some reason this maybe a bad hire for the Bucs.  In 11 years at Rutgers Schiano had a 28-48 conference record in a weak Big East and a 68-67 overall record.
