BEDMINSTER, N.J. — John Perry is back with Rutgers football, a very under-rated (and perhaps under the radar) addition to the coaching staff on the offensive side of the ball. He is a coach with significant time spent in the NFL.
Having spent the 2021 season at Rutgers as an offensive assistant, Perry now has a role with quality control on the Rutgers staff. He had originally been hired as the offensive coordinator at Lamar, but left the program just a short time after joining the program. Now he is back with Rutgers and working with offensive coordinator Kirk Ciarrocca and wide receivers coach Dave Brock.
Perry is very much the mold of the recent hires on offense from head coach Greg Schiano. He has strong college experience at the FBS and FCS level and boasts seven years in the NFL.
Beginning in 2014, Perry spent three years as the tight ends coach with the Houston Texans. Then he was their wide receivers coach for the next four seasons.
It is quite a resume he brings as a quality control coach.
“John Perry came back. He’s in quality control, working with the offense. And he works with Dave Brock – with the receivers and you think about it… There’s not many college programs or any in the country where the receivers coach and then his QC both have extensive NFL experience in coaching receivers,” Schiano said on Monday.
“So certainly, something I think that’s helping in recruiting. But more importantly or as importantly, helping on the field. (We) Went through spring practice now we’re in summer training. And I can see that group getting better and better and better.”
The Rutgers football head coach spoke at his annual Greg Schiano Charity Golf Classic, The Monday event, held at Fiddler’s Elbow, raised funds to benefit Chop4Change, Athletes in Action and the Robert E. “Bob” Mulcahy Football Scholarship Fund.
