Published:
Greg Schiano is putting some of the finishing touches on his staff at Rutgers, and his most recent move was to bring an offensive line coach to Piscataway.
Monday, Adam Rittenberg of ESPN reported that Rutgers is set to hire Princeton offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Andrew Aurich to fill the void on the staff. He will rejoin new offensive coordinator Sean Gleeson, who was recently hired away from Oklahoma State after one season.
Aurich and Gleeson worked together previously at Princeton.

Aurich had been at Princeton since 2013, according to his bio on GoPrincetonTigers.com. During his time there, he served as the offensive line coach, offensive coordinator, associate head coach and recruiting coordinator.
Schiano does have some experience working with Aurich, as the new offensive line coach served on Schiano’s staff at Rutgers as a defensive assistant in 2009-10 and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2012.
