Rutgers coach Greg Schiano details letting offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson go and Nunzio Campanile's elevation to the role. From ChrisNalwasky:
Rutgers Football and head coach Greg Schiano moved on from offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson on Sunday.
To put it simply, Schiano, on a call with reporters Sunday night, believes this team can win games right now with a competent offense the way the defense and special teams has been and can play. Nunzio Campanile is taking over as the interim OC and quarterbacks coach. “Certain things over time build up and I gave it a lot of thought obviously since the end of the game Friday night. But it wasn't as a result of Friday night that this occurred,” Schiano said. “I really gave it a lot of thought all day Saturday and well into Sunday and just felt like this was the time.”
“Several things that have occurred that we don't have enough hours in the day to go through all the small errors to all the structural issues that you can get into with the question. A lot of times you question things and after the question, we realize, you know what, this is the best way. At the end of the day in college football, you need to score points and we just don't score enough points. I want our offense to be as much of a weapon as our defense.
Rutgers is on its bye week right now, and it has two weeks to make any alterations to the offense and try and get things on track. If Rutgers wants to make a bowl game, and score points, and play complimentary football in all three areas, it starts in practice and in meetings now even before the home game versus the Hoosiers on Oct. 22.
