I sure hope, if TD is as successful as we all expect, that he feels this way when others come calling:

Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, a New Jersey kid whose career started as an assistant at his alma mater, Ramapo High in Wykoff, N.J., and who has become the hottest coaching commodity in college football. He has been asked about one day replacing Joe Paterno at Penn State. He has been approached by five-time national champion Miami, where he once was an assistant.

He told Miami no thanks and has said he won't succeed Paterno, likely choosing instead to sign a contract extension at Rutgers when this season ends. He says he has no desire to include any out clauses if a perceived more illustrious job becomes open.

"All along I've said the same thing: What we're doing here, we're just scratching the surface," Schiano said in a Dec. 4 news conference. "The sky is the limit here at Rutgers, and we're going to do great things and we haven't done them yet.

"We've won 10 games and that's great, but the seniors have laid the foundation for really, really big things. We've recruited really great young guys in this program, and this is home. This is my state; this is where I grew up."
