One of our own has been named the Home Depot Coach of the Year for 2006. Way to go Greg Schiano. Way to make your fellow NJ paisans proud!
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 tonight from 7-9 p.m. ET on ESPN.Plus, my man turned down "The U" to stay at RU. What a guy!
Sophomore running back Ray Rice is one of three finalists for the Maxwell Award, honoring college football's player of the year, which will also be presented at the award show.
"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.
