He's a special guy. Can tell he really genuinely cares about the person he's coaching, not just the player

[@andrewhatez7955]

Coach Schiano is where he belongs, at my home town University, and, I respect him greatly.

[@Delmarvafishing]

Wow fantastic interview, my brother was working in the ER the night Eric LeGrand got injured. He talked to coach, that was the night he found out that Coach Schinano was the real deal and serious about everything he preached. F.A.M.I.L.Y. absolutely fantastic job subscribed!

[@pj2264]

RU alum. One of the reasons I proudly wear the R is because of Coach Schiano. I was an undergrad student during the first run when we reached our peak in ‘06, and am so happy he’s back. Big Ten is another animal, but we have the right person to stabilize this program.

[@barrypeterson6725]

Impressive coach, I’m a Gophers fan and PJ Fleck has an extremely high regard for Greg Schiano.

[@jackstraw6880]

I love Penn State; but I hope he really gets Rutgers rolling…

[@bigwats1250]

🙏

[@PrimeSportsNetwork]

No doubt in my mind that Schiano will have Rutgers back in the top-20 soon and the top-10 soon after!

[@jacquesoncilien7971]

This guy just fits at Rutgers....PERIOD!

[@CoachDePascale2]

Great Interview …. at the 29:12 as a NJ HS Football Coach I think others in the State need to hear Coach’s approach to recruiting and why more NJ Guys might not have that RU offer !!!

[@__hjg__2123]

LFG!!!!!!!!!!!! Schiano is the f*cking man!

[@Roman-oe3vz]

Great interview Adam and Coach! Have never heard Schiano open up so much

[@arthurn3450]

Adam great interview with Coach Schiano. Love how you were well prepared and asked great questions.

[@tomm4733]

Excellent interview Adam. You were well prepared, had good follow up questions and were able to shed light on many parts of Coach Sciano's philosophies. Coach Schiano is the real deal and an excellent leader of young men.

[@RecruitingBoard]

Bro this may be my favorite interview you have. Schiano is so real.

[@mrjonsey]

Coach Schiano is a real one. Great interview, definitely have him back on the show.

[@ScagsWH13]

As a Bucs fan and a PSU fan I appreciated this interview a lot! Didn't know Adam had a channel, but am now a follower.

[@justinkaram2511]

Adam’s an excellent interviewer. Let’s go!!

[@wtchapman]

Great interview! I have a new respect for Coach Schiano. What a wonderful coach and person!

[@meat5874]

Greg Schiano is wayyy different IRL and with his players than in this interview. Dude is the hardest of the hard asses from multiple first hand stories and experiences from old big East Rutgers and OSU. Dude is tough

[@jiz1918]

Amazing interview! Really enjoyed this

[@charliebaldanza7691]

Respect for Greg for talking about Coach Paterno

[@CatDaddyOfCincinnati]

Adam, well done. I watched the whole thing. Maybe it's just Schiano making you look good but you earned my subscription. Good 👍🏼 luck and Go Buckeyes 😊!

[@breakingbrian0315]

Great interview! Glad you were able to get Schiano to open up and not just coach speak.

[@herfjones3]

I’m subscribed Adam!

Thanks for a great interview.

Great Job guys !

Great interview

[@matthewtropp3529]

Great interview. I wish he asked why GS quit abruptly as the Patriots DC....GS always said family reasons but I always thought it was something else

[@ChaddRussell]

Bro, I love the interview and Greg schiano is a great coach. But you have to stop saying "yeah" every 10 seconds while he's talking. I couldn't pay attention to the interview because all I heard was you in the background lol

[@moneymitch6790]

Bring Urban on your staff at rutgers

Is this only available on KZbin?

[@NextUpWithAdam]

It's available on apple and Spotify as well!

[@averagebloke4474]

This guy just says we're getting close every year. I guess that's the Rutgers standard.

[@vicmojica4240]

What should he say?

[@averagebloke4474]

@@vicmojica4240 just be more honest. You didn't meet the mark unless just trying and failing as a football program every year is your mark.

[@okjoe5561]

Tim Pernetti and Robert Barchi got Rutgers into the Big 10, not Schiano, no matter how often he tries to take credit for it. The way Schiano slithered away right before national signing day was unconscionable. Then when he was unemployed as a .500 head coach, and had the stench of Sandusky on him, he slithered back with a list of demands even Urban Meyer wouldn't ask. Now we're stuck with this guy for another 4 years because the university doesn't have the money to get rid of him.

[@jbenn6338]

oh stop lol

[@seanwilliams2017]

This wont age well lol

[@okjoe5561]

@@seanwilliams2017 True, now we're stuck with this conman for another 7 years. Tony Soprano must be negotiating his contracts.

[@averagebloke4474]

He's a cool guy probably the only cool thing about Rutgers football if there is a cool thing about Rutgers football at all. I'm sorry but Rutgers should not be in the Big Ten.

[@VeriteSB]

Ppl loved college athletics for its exploitation...period
