Schiano spent the past two seasons with the Buckeyes and had previously coached at Rutgers from 2001-11, which included six bowl game appearances during his final seven seasons, as well as a a 68-67 (28-48) overall record.
After being linked to several notable college coaching positions, Schiano took over as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' head coach in 2012 and went 11-21 before being fired after his second season.
The Vols reportedly turned their focus to Schiano after focusing on Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen, who is expected to accept the head coaching position at Florida.
