Here are the details of Greg Schiano’s historic contract to return to Rutgers | Inside the changes that got the deal done

VJBRPM4PBRD3RLNILHEORDDIK4.JPG


Salary and years: Schiano signed an eight-year, $32 million deal, but it is not fully guaranteed. He was asking for a full guarantee when talks originally fractured. The retention bonuses from the original deal - $400,000 every two years - are also out.

Schiano will make $4 million a year. If he is fired without cause at any point in the contract, he will be paid 76.875% of his remaining salary; the payout from that point will not exceed $24.6 million. Schiano’s buyout to break the contract begins at $8 million if he leaves Rutgers prior to Dec. 1, 2020, and it decreases as the contract progresses. Schiano will have a $6 million buyout in his second season, a $4 million buyout in his third, a $3 million buyout in his fourth and a $2 million buyout in his fifth. Schiano will have a $1 million buyout for the final three years of the deal.

Staff pool: Schiano’s Year 1 assistant and support staff salary pool is $7.7 million - unchanged from before. That total will increase by no less than 3% each year. Schiano has the ability to designate, hire and fire members of his staff with the consent of athletics director Pat Hobbs - that consent “shall not be withheld without reason.”

Private jets: Rutgers and Schiano met in the middle on one of the more controversial sticking points. Schiano will be entitled to use private air transportation for recruiting purposes, according to the contract. If private funding is available, he will be able to use private air travel for other university business. If private funding is not available, Schiano is entitled to first-class tickets on commercial airlines. Schiano’s wife and immediate family are entitled to fly on team charters to all away and postseason games at no cost to him.

Facilities: The biggest change. Schiano’s original request for an out clause that would allow him to leave with no buyout penalty if Rutgers did not meet deadlines for facilities improvements has been struck.
Instead, Rutgers has acknowledged a new indoor practice facility and football operations center “would be both necessary and desirable” and has committed to developing and acquiring cost projections and conceptual designs “as soon as reasonably practicable” for recruiting and fundraising purposes. Rutgers has also agreed to move forward with facilities plans once Schiano and Hobbs can raise 50% of the projected costs in private donations. There is no timetable set for facility improvements. Early estimations indicate the projects could cost $150 million.

Relocation expenses: Rutgers will provide Schiano with temporary housing for 60 days if required, plus temporary transportation and a maximum of two flights to New Jersey for the purpose of purchasing a home. He will also receive up to $25,000 in relocation expenses.

Incentives: Here is a rundown of the incentives in Schiano’s deal:

Big Ten titles: Schiano will receive a $100,000 bonus if Rutgers wins the Big Ten East and plays in the conference title game. He will earn $200,000 if Rutgers wins the Big Ten Championship Game.

Bowl games: Schiano will earn $75,000 for a non-College Football Playoff “Group A” bowl game appearance and $75,000 for winning the bowl game. The Belk, Music City and Quick Lane Bowls (and successor games) are considered “Group A.” All other non-CFP bowl games are considered “Group B," and Schiano earns $100,000 for appearing in one and $100,000 for winning one.

Schiano will earn $150,000 for appearing in a New Year’s Six bowl game and can earn another $150,000 for winning one. He earns $200,000 for qualifying for the College Football Playoff, $250,000 for appearing in the national title game and $350,000 for winning a national title.

Awards: Schiano is due a $100,000 bonus if he is named Big Ten coach of the year by the conference. He will receive another $100,000 if he is named national coach of the year by one of nine specific outlets named in the contract.

Final rankings: Schiano will receive a $100,000 bonus if Rutgers finishes in the final CFP Top 25 at the end of the season and $150,000 if in the top-15.

Season tickets: Schiano can earn up to $200,000 annually in season ticket sales incentives. He earns a $50,000 bonus when Rutgers crests the following sales milestones: 20,000, 24,000, 28,000 and 32,000 season tickets sold.

Academics: Schiano is due a $25,000 bonus for Rutgers having a multi-year APR of 960 or above beginning with the 2020-21 school year. He will earn an additional $25,000 if Rutgers is among the top-10 nationally in APR.

Other: Schiano will earn an annual auto stipend of $15,000 and have an annual $5,000 apparel allocation. Rutgers will pay initiation fees and monthly dues for a country club membership. Schiano will receive use of a private box or suite at all home games in addition to 20 premium-level tickets and parking passes. He will also receive 12 tickets to all road games and either a private suite or box or 24 premium-level tickets to any postseason game.

Urban Meyer's advice for Greg Schiano as a Big Ten head coach

Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano triumphantly returned yesterday in his official introductory press conference in Piscataway.

In part of Schiano’s press conference, he spoke of his time and development at Ohio State under Urban Meyer.

In reaction to Schiano’s return, Urban Meyer returned serve in an interview with the Big Ten Network. He offered some advice for Schiano, and probably some bulletin board material for Schiano’s roster at the same time.

“I think there’s only one person that can probably have a chance (at Rutgers),” Meyer said. “The first thing is try to get them over on the other side of the Big Ten. I don’t think that’s going to happen for him. If they can get in the Big Ten West, that gives him a shot. It’s just so difficult in the Big Ten East.”

Schiano knows the Big Ten well enough from his time coaching at Ohio State. He knows the rosters, the landscape and many of the coaches.

Schiano also knows New Jersey more than former coach Chris Ash as a life-long Garden State guy. Schiano recruited New Jersey well as Ohio State’s defensive coordinator, including additions like Tyler Friday, Javonte Jean-Baptiste, Luke Wypler and Ronnie Hickman, who was once committed to Rutgers as a lacrosse player under Brian Brecht.

That, Meyer says, is his edge.

“He’s going to recruit better than anyone in New Jersey,” Meyer said. “He’s from New Jersey. He loves the Bergen County mafia. I love those guys, too. Such good football. Such good players. He’s got to get some of those guys. That’s as good of high-school football as there is in the country. That Bergen Catholic, St. Joe’s and all of the great schools up there. Greg knows all of those people, but he’s got to land a few of them. That’s the only shot they have. You can talk about everything else.

“He’s got to get some of the kids out of Bergen County and New Jersey to play for him. If he does, they’ll make a dent. But are you going to win the Big Ten East? What chance to you really have of beating the Big Three and when Michigan State is hot, the Big Four? I don’t know.”

In Schiano’s re-introduction at Rutgers, he thanked colleagues like Meyer and Bill Belichick for lessons learned since his first stint with the Scarlet Knights.

“(Ohio State) was really unique because Urban is a good friend of mine, like really good friend, very, very close, and you know, initially, there was no way I was going to go be an assistant,” Schiano said. “But he is one of the more persuasive people that I've ever met, and what I learned working there for three years, I thought that I was the hardest working coach in recruiting, right, and I learned that I wasn't.

“And I learned some ways to be a better recruiter and if I said one thing, I would take that away from my time; is that there's certain things that you can do to really exponentially pop your recruiting, so I'm excited to do that. Because we did a pretty good job here of recruiting, but that's the life behind of your program. I learned a lot of stuff and I hope he learned some stuff from me. We're really good friends. But that would be the biggest thing.”

“I've said this before, I thought I was one of the hardest working recruiters in the business. And when I worked for Urban, I saw a guy that that trumped me for sure so, I stole some ideas from him how to do things and the intensity that's required at the upper level and recruiting so great experience and I'm excited about the players we're bringing in the thing that's most important to me is our place isn't for everybody.

“And I want the young people to know that, you know, we're very, very upfront. I tell our coaches: be the same guy when you're recruiting them as you're going to be when you coach, and I think our guys do a tremendous job of that. And we make sure, we're looking for unselfish guys that really love the game. And like is okay, but it doesn't work in our place. And as soon as we make that clear and we identify those guys I think it narrows the pool but it saves us a lot of time and that's what I think our staff has done a great job of so far.”

“He’s a more sedate version of Fitzgerald, the sort of guy who sucks the oxygen out of a room when he enters it,” Jones wrote about Schiano. “He’s calm and direct and about as overtly self-confident as you can be without crossing the border to cocky. Schiano did less than 90 seconds of preface before taking questions and spent it on a brief story of how he told a Big East radio show host in 2002 that ‘Rutgers belongs in the Big Ten.’ Of course, that wouldn’t happen for a dozen more years, by which time he was long gone to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.”

“I saw him a couple times and he’s a good player,” Schiano said of Stroud, via ScarletNation. “Obviously, he won the starting job so Ryan (Day) thought he was the best of the guys. He is surrounded by an extraordinary group of people. Whoever was going to play quarterback, it is going to be a challenge so they have the guy who they think is best.”
