A person familiar with the negotiations says Rutgers is in contract discussions with Florida International's Mario Cristobal to become the Scarlet Knights' football coach.
The person spoke to The Associated Press on Monday on condition of anonymity because the deal, first reported by The Star-Ledger, is not complete.
Rutgers is replacing Greg Schiano, who left the school last week to become coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cristobal, a former Rutgers assistant under Schiano, just completed his fifth season at FIU. He is 24-38 with the Panthers but has led them to bowl games the past two seasons.
Before taking over at the Miami-based school in 2007, Cristobal was an assistant at the University of Miami.
