Rutgers Makes Assistant Kyle Flood Interim Coach
Rutgers offensive line coach Kyle Flood will be the program's interim head coach until a permanent replacement for Greg Schiano is found.
Schiano accepted an offer to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday. He leaves after 11 seasons at Rutgers and a 68-67 record.
Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti says a new coach will be hired "as soon as possible" but did not guarantee that a hire would be made before signing day Wednesday.
Flood, who is also the assistant head coach, has been at Rutgers for seven seasons.
