It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Hes a FoBB (friend of BB) used to coach Rutgers and his son.That would be a surprise. BB usually promotes from within. Does he have some kind of connection to Schiano or is this a slight change in philosophy?
I respectfully disagree, Schiano completely rebuilt the Rutgers program and got their ranking up all the way to #6 in the country (even if it was for just 1 week). That team was primarily built around the defense and Schoano is known as a defensive guru. You can see for yourself how far and fast that program dropped after Schiano left.
Right -- specifically the head coach from Rutgers when Steve Belichick was there, plus the head coach of a lot of the Patriots current Rutgers crew.That would be a surprise. BB usually promotes from within. Does he have some kind of connection to Schiano or is this a slight change in philosophy?
Edit: I finally see how it makes sense! He's a Rutgers guy!
Rutger HC from 2001-2011
I hate this stupid league that a coordinator has one good year and he’s immediately poached for a head coaching gig he’s likely not ready for. Flores should be our coordinator for at least a few years.

Plus there is the added bonus of having 3 Rutgers DBs already on the team.
uhhhh.....yeah, explain that to his checking account
We still don't know exactly what his role will be yet. It could be the Dom Capers "defensive assistant" role from 2008 where he really provides general guidance and advice but someone else actually takes on the typical DC duties (if not actually named DC).Schiano runs a primarily zone-based scheme. Variations of Cover-2 Zone (reminiscent of the Tampa-2 in ways) and Cover-3. I'm not a fan. His appointment doesn't seem to make much sense due to the Patriots being such a man-heavy defense in the last couple of seasons, and especially this season. But, like I said, it will still be Belichick's scheme in the end.
I think it likely could still be. Flores was never named DC and Bielma was brought in. I hear Bielma could be following Flores. So this could be a similar pairing Daly & Schiano with no named DC.Personally thought it would of been Daly, but I suppose it depends on what Bill thinks. Wouldn’t surprise me if it’s a one year deal sort of thing
