Greg Schiano has "agreed in principle" to return to Rutgers for his second stint as its head football coach, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.
The Scarlet Knights finished a 2-10 season with a 27-6 loss to Penn State on Saturday.
Rutgers fired head coach Chris Ash after a 1-3 start, and Nunzio Campanile took over as the interim head coach, going 1-7. Rutgers went 0-9 in Big Ten play.
Schiano, 53, went 68-67 for Rutgers from 2001-2011. The record is mediocre on paper, but the Scarlet Knights won just 24 games from 1993-2000 and markedly improved under him.
