Greg Schiano has agreed in principle to return as head coach of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights' football program, according to Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel and NJ Advance Media.
Negotiations between the Scarlet Knights and Schiano resumed over the weekend after the school received heavy criticism when the two sides previously failed to reach an agreement.
NJ.com reported on Saturday that New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and his chief of staff, George Helmy, had been in contact with Schiano in recent days. A source said they wanted to make sure Rutgers succeeds in the Big Ten and they believe Schiano can make that happen.
