Rutgers football: Using ‘one word,’ how did Aaron Lewis describe Greg Schiano at Big Ten Media Days?

Aaron Lewis was serious – and had some fun – at Big Ten Media Days when describing head coach Greg Schiano.

Aaron Lewis didn’t play by the rules of the game at Big Ten Media Days, but he got the message across about Rutgers football head coach Greg Schiano.

During last week’s Big Ten Media Days, Lewis was asked by Adam Breneman to describe his head coach in one word. A former Penn State tight end, Breneman now works for the Big Ten Network as an analyst.

Primed for a breakout season, Lewis had 54 tackles and 1.5 sacks as well as a forced fumble last season for Rutgers. He was the only Rutgers player named to an All-Big Ten team by PFF.

Lewis was one of several players that Breneman interviewed during the media event. He answered the question: “Describe coach Schiano with one word.”

“Tough,” Lewis said. “Oh, no no no no. Italian.”

 

This leads one to wonder if Schiano does in fact know how to fist-pump. Does he ‘GTL’ before the weekend? What’s his favorite episode of ‘The Sopranos’?

And can he say ‘gabagool’ better than Michael Scott?

Breneman asked a number of players around the Big Ten about their head coaches, getting varied responses. Some were serious, some were lighthearted like Lewis.

Breneman is a rising star of the broadcasting ranks. This past summer, he sat down with coach Schiano for a thorough and revealing interview.

The interview was well worth the watch.
