"My philosophy is I focus on the things I have control over and can make a difference in," said Schiano, who transformed
Rutgers (10-1, 5-1 Big East) from one the lowliest programs into a national contender in six seasons. "The whole Miami thing, I've said it for six weeks, I'm very happy here, I have no plans to go anywhere else."
"I've said what I said about this place," Schiano said. "I'm not going to talk about other jobs. This is a special place to me. This is where I want to be. We're going to leave it at that.
"I want to take the focus off of me and that job," he added. "This is my job.
Rutgers is my job. At this place, the sky's the limit and I plan on being here to see it."
University of Miami head coach Butch Davis denied a report Sunday that he planned to meet with Cleveland Browns president Carmen Policy.
"That was news to me," Davis said. "That was a shock. I didn't even know they fired the coach. I know Bernie Kosar owns a piece of the team, but other than that, I don't know anybody."
The Browns have not made a decision on head coach Chris Palmer's future, but ESPN reported that Davis will meet with Policy on Wednesday, the day after the Hurricanes play Florida in the Sugar Bowl.
Dwight Clark, the Browns' vice president of football operations, said he had no knowledge of a meeting reportedly planned between Davis and Policy. "I have not heard that in our building at all," Clark told The Plain Dealer for story printed Sunday. "I don't know anything about it."
Since Miami's final regular-season game, Davis has also denied interest in coaching the expansion Houston Texans or the Redskins.
"To be honest with you, my intent today is to stay at the University of Miami. The only thing I'm going to do when I get back is try to interview three guys for one of our defensive positions," Davis said.
