The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to hire Rutgers head coach Greg Schiano.
In doing so, they're gambling that he can buck the trend of college coaches crashing and burning in the pros.
By our count, only three college coaches have succeeded in the NFL in the last 20 years.

Nick Saban was 48-16 with one national title at LSU. He was 15-17 in two seasons with the Miami Dolphins
Steve Spurrier was 122-27-1 at Florida. He was 12-20 in two teams with the Washington Redskins
Butch Davis was 51-20 and revived the University of Miami. He was 12-23 in three seasons with the Cleveland Browns
