Sources confirmed that Schiano will return to coach the Scarlet Knights in 2027, giving him the chance to right the program after what's turned into a challenging 2026 campaign that started with a loss to UMass.
Rutgers sits at 2-7 heading into its Nov. 14 game against Nebraska.
The Scarlet Knights, coming off a 31-10 loss at Wisconsin, have struggled all season but injuries, notably to starting quarterback Dylan Lonergan and wide receiver KJ Duff, have made the situation even worse.

But instead Schiano will have a chance to build a more competitive roster in 2027.
ESPN's Pete Thamel first reported the news of Schiano's return.
