New Tampa Bay Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano appears to be making good on his plan to bring some of his former Rutgers assistants to Tampa Bay.
P.J. Fleck, who coached Rutgers wide receivers each of the last two years under Schiano, has agreed to join the Bucs in the same capacity, according to an ESPN report.
Fleck left Rutgers earlier in the week to take a job as the offensive coordinator at Northern Illinois, his alma mater, but resigned a day later to join forces with Schiano, the report said.
Schiano was named the ninth head coach in Bucs history on Jan. 26. He is in the process of hiring his staff, but no official announcements regarding staff hires have been made.
Fleck was a receiver for the Huskies from 1999-2003 and with the San Francisco 49ers from 2004 to 2006. Following his playing career, he returned to NIU as a receivers coach in 2007 and stayed until 2009.
Several reports have also suggested that Rutgers offensive coordinator Frank Cignetti and Rutgers defensive coordinator Bob Fraser will eventually join the Bucs staff under Schiano.
