Greg Schiano to be Named The Home Depot Coach of the Year

ATLANTA, Ga. ? Rutgers University head football coach
Greg Schiano, who has been the architect of one of the best turnaround stories in college football, will be named The Home Depot "Coach of the Year" during a live telecast of the 2006 Home Depot College Football Awards Thursday, Dec. 7 from 7-9 p.m. ET on ESPN.
"It is an honor to be recognized as The Home Depot Coach of the Year," said Schiano. "This award is a true reflection of all the great people here at Rutgers."
Schiano guided the Scarlet Knights to just their second 10-win season in school history (137 seasons) in 2006, including a thrilling, come-from-behind 28-25 victory over then third-ranked Louisville on Nov. 9 at Rutgers Stadium.
Rutgers achieved its first top-10 ranking in school history this season as the Scarlet Knights have been ranked for 10 consecutive weeks, the longest stretch ever for a Rutgers squad.
The Scarlet Knights can capture their first BIG EAST Championship and the conference's berth in the Bowl Championship Series with a victory at West Virginia Saturday. The game will air live in primetime on ESPN at 7:45 p.m.
