Schiano to Tennessee

I would love to chime in and put them in their place but: it has taken some time for him to do so and I disagreed with someone about Greg getting a P-5 job once he returned to coaching ranks. I said he would and the other person said at a mid major at best, but more than likely a DC position at a P-5 school at first.
Kudos to Tennessee and Schiano, but I can't put DOWN those who said it wouldn't get a P-5 HC job after he was fired from TB ,
This from the school that hired Butch Jones and
Sorry, I thought you meant they were hard up and had to settle! Misinterpretation. My bad. Remove tool and we can save it for the Tenn legislature
Not a good fit, imo. Vol fans are going to want results right away. That SEC scheduled will eat him up.
H'll last just like anyone else Tennessee hires, win and stay. Lose and be gone in 3 years or less.
Just that Greg has it harder than most that would have been hired to win the fanbase over .
So he must go into a salesmanship mode right off the bat to recruit the Vol's fanbase to be on his side .
No worries. Their fanbase was all in on Gruden and is in complete meltdown mode. It's really ridiculous for the Tenn legislature to get involved and for some of the fans to be calling Greg "Schiandusky."
I was wondering if that might happen. Rich Rod at Michigan as noted above is a cautionary tale. I mean he doesn't really need the money.
If he really wants to win, it'll be hard with what as of now seems like a very vociferous fanbase against you. Makes me wonder though if he does pass will he get an opportunity like this again and if he does will it be met with similar anger.
And nj . COM will have a 17 part series on how SCHIANO KNEW THAT PATERNO KNEW.Then Hobbs should call him right now and bring him home.
And besides, how long will Schiano would leave Rutgers for Miami, Penn State, or whoever?
And for the record, I thought Schiano would do well in Tennessee before everyone went batsh** insane down there.
It's not hard to understand anywhere but here. First, all their beat writers have been pushing the Gruden possibility. Even today people were saying 10 million a year. Nobody outside of Rutgers is impressed with his overall performance here. Yes, he built the program but that was the ceiling. Tennessee doesn't need a program built, their roster is stacked with 4 and 5 stars. He hasn't exactly crushed it at OSU when playing equally talented teams.
Count me among the surprised if he's truly been offered the position. I think it's a bad fit for both parties, and the reaction of many in Tennessee seems to back that up, at least partially.
In any event, if it's what Schiano really wants, than congratulations to him. He built RU's football program from nothing and deserves our best wishes.
Will be telling, I think, to see who his offensive coordinator winds up being.

Might be a smart move by Greg .
I'm sure having a fanbase that is as vocally opposed to
hiring Schiano as the Tennessee fanbase is will make it hard to recruit the type of talent it takes to win in the SEC .
Hopefully Greg gets the job and wins the fanbase over quickly
Personally I think there were some problems inside the football program that we don't know about and that was a major reason the Tenn AD felt Greg was right for the job.
It would be hilarious if Greg legitimately backs out, and the Vols pick someone else who they despise even more.
He didn't build a program from nothing for them. All they see is his record both in college, and in the NFL and then as the DC at powerhouse Ohio State where our current head coach did a better job as DC than Schiano did.
Nothing bizarre about it. Only RU fans totally adore Schiano. What objective measure would lead anybody else to do so, unless they needed to repeat building a program from scratch, which is not the case at Tennessee?

OSU source says that they they are not as confident that Greg Schiano takes the Tennessee job as they were at 1 p.m., but ultimately thinks he may still take the job.

Talking to someone at Ohio State, says that OSU was always under the impression that Tennessee was inline for Schiano. Says that John Currie was looking at Schiano before Butch Jones was fired. Says that Schiano was not the first choice, but mutual interests.

Says that Greg Schiano is about 75% sure, right now, that he will still take the Tennessee head coaching job still.

He may not have a ton of options at the moment, if he wants to be a head coach. I would guess he absolutely does not have a better option, from a pay scale, program and conference standpoint.
Yeah well, they're using the PSU thing as THE excuse to bash out. Like this asshat. Was Schiano found guilty of something?
I'm not so sure. Just look at our own fan-base and how many of us continue to associate anything PSU-related to Sandusky, no matter how tenuous the link.
We naturally cut Schiano a break because he was our head coach and there is a lot of love for his building up our program, a task many thought impossible. So we're no longer objective about the question.
But to be completely objective and honest about it, none of us knows for sure, but Schiano, what he knew about what happened at the time. Maybe Paterno knew how much Schiano was aware of. Maybe some other coaches know. Probably nobody else.
Point being, it's not entirely unreasonable, if being completely objective, for those with no particular love for Schiano, to wonder.
Seemed like a bad fit culturally even before I read the backlash. The honeymoon will be very short if at all if he and the AD decide to move forward. He is 50/50 at best to be there for more than 3 years. Not sure what the Vol fans are smoking if they truly thought Gruden was coming their way.
Sarcasm? Because all he cited were facts. And we're in big trouble when the citation of facts about football coaching makes one a hater.
If I were Schiano, I'd insist on a pretty long contract and a big *** buyout. Won't be an easy job.
Drunk Vol Fan writes pretty well, if somewhat judgmentally, for a drunk. LOL
I am absolutely shocked as well.
Can’t believe that the Tennessee Boosters will vote Yes on this.
Greg got 5 years, $15M from Bucs. Similar deal w Vols ?
I will believe it when I see it.
I'll get my sarcasm meter checked. I thought it was, but wasn't sure. I should probably take down my avatar for a day as penance. LOL
