Aaaaannnd, in true Vol fan fashion, you ignore year 6, when he was 11-2 and was 6 points away from a perfect season.
...Aaaaaannnd...he was 0-14 in the Big East his first 2 years at Rutgers (3-24 in Big East play his first 4 years).
quote:
Schiano averaged 8 wins a year his last six years at Rutgers
During that 6 year period, he was 21-21 in Big East Play.

there's precious little about the Tennessee football program that resembles those last six years of Schiano's.
Cherry picking again, I see. Pruitt isn't in his last 6 years. His first 2 years are eerily similar to Schiano's first two at Rutgers.
Do you honestly think that Pruitt would get 5 years to reach .500 at Tennessee? Do you think any coach would?
You can't focus on the year he was 11-2, without focusing on the 3 seasons when he had a combined 1 win in conference play (that single win was during that "magical" 6 year stretch you are saying he should be judged on).
Mike Dubose went 10-3 at Alabama in 1999 and won an SEC Championship, (and was 2 points away from being 12-1). By your criteria, he should be hailed as one of the great coaches for the tide (he also won his conference all 4 years he coached at Millsaps). Why didn't he get a shot at another big time program?
You know why.

Rutgers had only 2 winning seasons in the 20 years leading up to Schiano. They had won a total of 11 games in the previous 5 seasons.
Rutgers was easily the worst major college program when Schiano took over.
Rutgers had never won a bowl game, Schiano won 5.
