Rashad Jennings rates Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano’s dance moves.
Greg Schiano can bust a move, at least according to former ‘Dancing with the Stars’ champion Rashad Jennings. The former NFL star running back rated Schiano’s dance moves, as seen following Rutgers football’s win at Indiana on Saturday.
Jennings, who won Season 24 of the now iconic ‘Dancing With the Stars’ television show, is a former NFL running back. He played eight years in the league, including his final three with the New York Giants.
A seventh-round pick out of Liberty, he finished with a career 4.1 yards per carry.
In an attempt to uncover hard-hitting journalism, Jennings was asked by Rutgers Wire to rate Schiano’s dancing ability. Following Saturday’s win, which made Rutgers bowl-eligible for the first time since 2014, Schiano cut the rug in the locker room.
“Eight out of 10,” Jennings told Rutgers Wire on Saturday night of Schiano’s post-game dance moves.
“Supreme confidence, great timing, played to the crowd, jus not sure it was dancing – but it got the people going. thumbs up!”
It is good insight from Jennings, who as a former dance competition champion, can certainly understand the difficulties in transitioning from the gridiron to the ballroom. Can Schiano, based on this little snippet, be on ‘Dancing with the Stars’ someday?
“Indeed! The pure confidence and understanding of how to play to the motions of the crowd will lock him in for a chance to develop,” Jennings said.
Jennings has a neat venture out, with the launch of his own podcast that can be found on his YouTube channel.

But now the real question is:
Greg Schiano versus Brian Kelly, who has the better moves?
For those that don’t remember, Kelly, the head football coach at LSU, went viral for his attempted dance moves. While hosting a recruit, Kelly did something that looked like dancing but might have just been gas.
Asked to compare the two, Jennings said that Schiano tripped the light fantastic better than Kelly.
“Not original. Mimicked the athlete,” Jennings said of Kelly’s dancing.
“He did play the camera well but they needed slow motion dramatics to enhance. Dress bad in comparison as well. Overall, both give great efforts and I applaud them but Brian looked out of his comfort zone.”
