Schiano to Tennessee
- Thread starter Mikemarc
- Start date
No coach will take that job. Maybe a high school coach who lives in Tennessee will get the job.
Unless you are running for President or Senate. LOL
Tennesse is in disarray and I think that’s where he can excel...in gaining control of the program and getting it to mediocrity or just barely better than that. Then, he will get out coached by the usual suspects in the SEC, but he should get them back to minor bowl status.
Would love to see Greg go to Arkansas and beat Tennessee by 50 every year!
You should go check Tennessee's record in the 21st century
It's been a long, long time since Peyton Manning and Reggie White.
I don't know who they think they are....but they're not.
Well, I guess that's that...
"Tennessee officials have called Greg Schiano’s representatives and told them they are backing out of their agreement to make him the next football coach at Tennessee. There’s a signed Memorandum of Understanding between Schiano and athletic director John Currie, which they agreed to and signed in Columbus earlier today.
Tennessee’s reverse course came after significant backlash online and on campus to Schiano’s hiring. Some of the backlash was tied to Schiano’s link to the Jerry Sandusky scandal, which Tennessee officials vetted while pursuing Schiano. In a deposition, former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary said he was told by another assistant coach, Tom Bradley, that Schiano had told Bradley that he had seen Sandusky “doing something” with a boy in a shower. The allegation was hearsay and Schiano was never charged with a crime or sued in civil court. Schiano and Bradley have publicly denied the allegations. Bradley has testified under oath he knew nothing of Sandusky’s actions.
“I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like this,” said a veteran athletic director. “Within the industry, there was an understanding that he’d been cleared. But now with the way the fan base has responded, who will be willing to take that job?”
With Schiano out of the picture, Tennessee’s search will now become the most followed in all of college sports. Considering Currie, who is in his first year as athletic director, received considerable criticism for not firing Butch Jones earlier in the year, he already has a rocky relationship with the Tennessee fan base.
Currie’s credibility as athletic director will be tied to the quality of candidate Tennessee can bring in, as Tennessee’s switch on Schiano won’t be attractive to potential candidates. Currie’s accountability for the failed hire will likely come into focus, as prominent politicians around the state got involved in speaking out against Schiano."

Yes, I know and already responded to that fact. Made fun of myself even. C’mon, keep up.
Boy, can't wait to see who they can convince to take the job after this debacle. I really enjoyed rooting against the Vols this year, and it will only be easier going forward.
It would be awesome to see Schiano coach an opponent to a win in Knoxville.

People in the Deep South are fing nuts. These tribal folks will vote for someone like Roy Moore and Trump but throw a fit for a guy that was a GA how long ago and was rumored to have known about Sandusky along with the rest of the staff.
This is nuts. People talk about places like PR waying down the US but the real problem are with folks in the Miss, AL and the Tennessess of the world. I’m no Greg S apologist but this is bullsh*t.
GO RU

Then there's rumors that Tee Martin wants the job who did what Peyton couldn't do and bring a National Championship home for the Vols, but most likely won't get the job due to racial undertones.
Wouldn't be shocked to see them to try and get David Cutliffe from Duke.

Greg Schaino is a good coach and good man.
It's Tennessee's loss.

For some context, you should probably make a list of all of the coaches that preceded GS since Rutgers made the move to "The Big Time" and all of the ones who came after him, along with a list of THEIR accomplishments...or lack thereof. I especially would like to see how many bowl wins each has and how many NFL players they produced.
Perhaps when you are done and see the dearth of achievement by this football program before and after GS you will have a better understanding of how much he DID achieve here and why so many Rutgers fans look back on the good old days when GS was at the helm of this program.
Racial undertones? If he’s qualified and the only reason he’s not hired is because he’s black then that’s straight up discrimination. There’s nothing undertone about it.
McQueerey didn't know anything. He testified that he had *heard* from someone that Schiano said he saw something. That's triple fking hearsay.
It would be soooooooooo awesome if Tenn owed GS for backing out
