Personally I would not mind seeing Greg Schiano added to the staff as the Rutgers Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach, I think he has a lot of good qualities that could help this team on both sides of the football.

Belichick said that it was known that Scar was done after this year. BB said that he actually stayed on longer than he was supposed to and that they were preparing for his departure.

As for Pepper, I haven't seen anything saying it was planned. But BB's comments lead me to believe it was mutual. He probably wanted the DC shot here but obviously wasn't going to get it with Patricia in that role.
