Gregory Edward Schiano (born June 1, 1966) is the Defensive Coordinator and Associate Head Coach for the Ohio State Buckeyes football team. He served as the head football coach at Rutgers University from 2001 to 2011 and as head coach of the National Football League's Tampa Bay Buccaneers from 2012 to 2013.
Schiano was born and grew up in Wyckoff, New Jersey, and attended Ramapo High School. He then attended Bucknell University, where he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, and graduated in 1988 with a B.S. in business administration. Despite being a 190-pound linebacker in high school, Bucknell assistant Joe Susan felt he was a perfect fit for the defense. Susan would later join Schiano at Rutgers.
Playing at linebacker, Schiano was a three-year letterman at Bucknell. In his junior year, he led his team with 114 tackles and was named to the All-Conference team. In his senior year, he was named team captain, and was named to The Sporting News Pre-season All-American Team.
He and his wife Christy have four children: Joey, John, Matt, and Katie.
On September 22, 2016, Schiano hit a bicyclist with his car, seriously injuring the bicyclist.
Schiano began his coaching career in 1988 as an assistant coach at Ramapo High School. In 1989, he served as a graduate assistant at Rutgers. In 1990, he took the same position at Penn State, and later served as the defensive backfield coach there from 1991 until 1995. From 1996 to 1998, Schiano was an assistant coach in the NFL with the Chicago Bears. For his first two seasons there, he was a defensive assistant, and then was promoted in his third and final season with the Bears to defensive backfield coach.
