COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Greg Schianos office is also set up to be a meeting room for Ohio States safeties. There are a couple of tables, eight chairs, and neatly set out at each spot is a binder with the weeks game plan.Schiano is three quarters of the way through his first college football season as an assistant coach since 2000. As defensive coordinator and associate head coach of the Buckeyes, Schiano is working for -- and learning from -- his good friend Urban Meyer, helping the Buckeyes contend for the College Football Playoff and adding to a resume that should be good enough to get him another head-coaching gig.Maybe.Schiano performed one of the great makeovers in college football history during an 11-year stint as Rutgers head coach. He took the Scarlet Knights to six bowl appearances after the school previously had made just one. But his two seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers produced only 11 victories and complaints from players that he was heavy-handed and uncompromising as the team flailed. He was fired after the 2013 season. At a time when many schools are looking for the next big thing and coaches are defined by last season, there are some obstacles between Schiano and another stint in the big office.Any relationship is about fit. Ive had opportunities that just werent a fit for me to be a head coach. If and when the fit is right thats when Ill do it and the same for them, Schiano said. Some people are looking for a younger guy that doesnt have a whole bunch of experience, but is kind of catch the rising star so to speak. Where other people are looking for something else. Its the same for me. At this stage in my career, I dont need to be a head coach. Would I like to be? Yeah, I would like to be again someday.Schiano and Meyer have been friends for years. They have traded ideas and dropped in on each others programs. When Chris Ash left Ohio State to become head coach at Rutgers, coincidentally, Meyer talked Schiano into filling the opening.I have kind of gone back for a masters degree in coaching under someone Im very close with, said Schiano, who drew interest from both Southern California and Miami last year.Schiano, who was defensive coordinator at Miami under Butch Davis before he went to Rutgers in 2001, said he understood he was not coming to Columbus to fix the Buckeyes defense. His focus has been more on attitude.What he did was try to add a little bit more swag to the defense, junior linebacker Chris Worley said. Not just thinking about making a good play but thinking about making a great play. Not just thinking about stopping teams, but becoming a smothering defense.The Buckeyes are currently third in the nation at 4.3 yards allowed per play.Schiano and Luke Fickell both hold the title of defensive coordinator at Ohio State. Meyer had to be confident the new guy could work well with the incumbent.Zero issues, Meyer said. I thought that would work out well. Its worked out even better than I thought.Schiano said Meyer is a genius when it comes to empowering assistant coaches and he hopes to take that to his next stop -- wherever that might be.He makes it crystal clear -- we have a saying clarity of purpose -- he makes it very clear what your role is what your job is and what overall the organizations mission is, Schiano said. And then he creates a real urgency to get that done.There are already five schools in FBS looking for a head coach, three at the Power Five level (LSU, Baylor and Purdue). Unless some openings create a trickle down of more vacancies the market is not likely to be as active as last season, when 26 schools hired new coaches.Columbus could be more than just a quick detour for Schiano. He said thats OK because it is making him a better coach.At 50 years old you say, well Ive done this, but theres some many things that if I ever do it again as a head coach that I will incorporate into what I do, Schiano said. And I think weve done a lot of good stuff over the years, but I think meshing the two together will be really powerful.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas -- Myles Garrett isnt about to tip his hand. Not with top-ranked Alabama next on the schedule.The sixth-ranked Aggies star defensive end said he felt much better Tuesday following Texas A&Ms week off after admitting to being only 65-70 percent healthy against Tennessee. Garrett is dealing with an unspecified leg injury.He broke into a huge smile when asked for an update.Well I cant let them know, he said. Im good enough to play well.The Aggies (6-0) will need him and the rest of their star players to be at full strength as they put their undefeated record on the line on Saturday against the Crimson Tide (7-0), the Southeastern Conferences other unbeaten team.Garrett and fellow defensive end Daeshon Hall have formed a dangerous combination this year with nine tackles for losses each, helping the Aggies rank third in the nation with 9.7 a game.While Alabama was dismantling Tennessee 49-10 last week, the Aggies had time to recharge before traveling to Tuscaloosa, Alabama, this week.It was a good situation for us ... I thought our guys were at a point where they needed it, coach Kevin Sumlin said. It came at the right time after getting through the two weeks prior.The Aggies got a 24-13 win at South Carolina on Oct. 1 despite playing without Garrett and three other starters. The next week, Garrett played almost exclusively on third downs when they held off a late charge by Tennessee to get a 45-38 victory in double overtime.Texas A&M also used its break to evaluate what its done so far and how the team can build on that success in the second half of the season.You spend about a day looking back and do a midseason report on where were at, the receivers did it, receiver Christian Kirk said. Just where werre at and what we can work on to go through this last stretch and win every game.dddddddddddd. So it was good to look back and see what we need to improve on.Kirk leads the team with 40 receptions and his 352 yards receiving rank second for the Aggies. Kirk and Josh Reynolds, who is first on the team with 488 yards receiving, have been Trevor Knights favorite targets with senior Ricky Seals-Jones out the last two games with an injury.Knight has been solid in his first season at Texas A&M after joining the team as a graduate transfer from Oklahoma. He has thrown for 1,500 yards with nine touchdowns and five interceptions. Hes also proven to be a threat on the ground, rushing for 502 yards with nine more scores.Its been a nice bounce-back season for Knight, who was benched last year in favor of Baker Mayfield before leaving Oklahoma. He also spent some time last week reflecting on his first six games with the Aggies and came away with an encouraging conclusion.I still dont think weve played our best football on the offensive side of the ball, he said.The defense is also looking for ways to get better after giving up some big leads before coming back to win in overtime in a couple of games this season. Despite those lapses, defensive coordinator John Chavis has been impressed with much of the work his unit has done so far.When youre in situations to finish a game, weve got to be able to do that, he said. We have not done that as well as I expect and our players expect. But our players are giving great ... effort and thats a good starting place.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
