I remember the first time I heard Greg Schiano’s name. I had just arrived on campus for my first year of college and some upperclassmen were talking about the newly improved football team and coach. We were at a frat party and they were commenting on how the football players no longer showed up at parties because Schiano was such a disciplinarian. Apparently, that was a regular occurrence under the previous regime.
I learned two important lessons that evening. One, showing up to a college party at 10 o’clock is a rookie mistake. Two, Greg Schiano was a name I should remember and apparently a tough cookie that had his players under wraps.
