2017-18 Coaching Hot Seat/Carousel

Sucking off Lawn Guy Land hobos.
Agreed. I don't think it's an awful hire at all for a school like Tennessee. He took Rutgers to bowl games in 6 of his last 7 years. They won 5 of those. He had an overall winning record despite starting 3-20 and 0-14 in conference. He is easy to make fun of because of the CHOPPIN' and the Tampa Bay weirdness and failure but a lot of coaches have flamed out in the NFL and done well in college. What's so apparently bad about this? He also left Rutgers in good shape as they had success for a couple more years before tailing off in major way recently. I wouldn't want him because his teams were pretty boring but he is likely going to try to be SMASHMOUTH SEC CORCH which will be attractive to a lot of Vol fans I'm sure. This could end up being a decent hire.

Ignored kiddie rape, “Schiano Men” nonsense, completely aloof. Also, it’s Tennessee, anyone taking that job is going to end up with diarrhea shot in their grill 24/7.

So WWE wrassler Kane is a state rep in east TN.



Also the rock on UTs campus is painted with "schiano covered up child rape"

The backlash is getting bad.


I was listening to the live stream of the Fox Sports station in Knoxville and it was hilarity central. People calling in threatening to become Kentucky fans, others calling in from the protest talking about not leaving until the AD resigns, some yokels talking about firing everyone in administration that’s not a UT alum, some guy talking about picking us the rock and cruising over to the presidents hacienda “to send a message”.

Couple of people called in to talk about getting on the LANE TRAIN. I do not want to live in this world.

Funniest thing is seeing PSU fans on reddit defending Schiano's allegations. HMMMM

Probably same numbnuts that think Franklin was “tough” playing gay dad with the rapists he corched at Vandy.

It's actually a combo of tOSU and PSU fans ironically



pretty much every thread on that page devolves into doubting McQueary's motivations or something

That sub is super defensive of PSU so it doesn’t surprise me that’s how the conversation is going

On the campus of the University of Tennessee, at the corner of Volunteer Boulevard and Pat Head Summitt Street, not far from Neyland Stadium sits a near-100-ton stone, known locally as “The Rock.” Just about every day, some group on campus paints a message on it.

On Sunday, as news broke that Tennessee was on the verge of hiring Greg Schiano as its new head football coach, this was painted on it:
Schiano covered up child rape at Penn State.”

It was part of a backlash from Volunteers fans angry over the possible hiring of Schiano, the former head coach at Rutgers and the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is currently the defensive coordinator at Ohio State. Schiano, 51, was also an assistant coach at Penn State from 1990-95. The defensive coordinator at Penn State then was Jerry Sandusky, who in 2012 was convicted of 45 counts of child molestation.

Only each Tennessee fan taking part in this knows for sure if they really researched the Sandusky scandal and found Schiano disqualified because of it, or if they are latching onto something because they wanted a different coach. It worked. The school broke off talks and won’t hire Schiano, per Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel.

The real question is, did Schiano really cover up child rape at Penn State?

The answer: Only Schiano and maybe Sandusky know for sure, but that allegation has most certainly not been proven, no matter what the clickbait headlines of the Internet claim. To make such a definitive statement is flat-out false at this point and a terrifying, lynch-mob reach against a possibly innocent person’s reputation.
Here’s where it all stems from.

On Aug. 25, 2015, former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary was deposed as part of a civil suit between the university and its insurance company over liability for payouts to victims of Sandusky.
McQueary is famous in the case for being a then-graduate assistant who said he walked in on Sandusky and a boy in the shower in an otherwise empty coach’s locker room one Friday night in 2001. He walked out, but reported what he saw to head coach Joe Paterno the next morning. Nothing happened to Sandusky for years. McQueary was later fired but was the attorney general’s star witness in criminal trials against Sandusky, as well as Penn State’s president, vice president and athletic director. McQueary also won a multimillion-dollar whistleblower lawsuit against the school.

During the deposition, McQueary said he once discussed Sandusky with another Penn State assistant, Tom Bradley, who most recently was an assistant coach at UCLA. He said Bradley was not surprised by what McQueary told him because Bradley had heard similar.

From the deposition:
Q: “Did [Bradley] tell you that he had had information concerning Gerald Sandusky and children?”
A: “He said he knew of some things. … He said another assistant coach had come to him in the early ’90s about a very similar situation to mine, and he said that he had — someone had come to him as far back as early as the ’80s about seeing Jerry Sandusky doing something with a boy.”
Q: “Did he identify who the other coaches were that had given him this information?”
A: “The one in the early ’90s, yes.”
Q: “And who was that?”
A: “Greg Schiano …”
Q: “And did he give you any details about what Coach Schiano had reported to him?”
A: “No, only that he had – I can’t remember if it was one night or one morning, but that Greg had come into his office white as a ghost and said he just saw Jerry doing something to a boy in the shower. And that’s it. That’s all he ever told me.”

That is the extent of allegations involving Schiano, which first surfaced in 2016 during the unsealing of documents in the civil case.
Schiano immediately denied the accusation to ESPN: “I never saw any abuse, nor had reason to suspect any abuse, during my time at Penn State.”

Meanwhile, Bradley’s attorneys issued the following statement at the time:
“At no time did Tom Bradley ever witness any inappropriate behavior. Nor did he have any knowledge of alleged incidents in the 80’s and 90’s. He has consistently testified as such. Any assertions to the contrary are false. When he became aware of the 2001 incident it had already been reported to the University administration years earlier.”

Well you can read my first post in the thread when he was mentioned. I was against him due to these allegations not because he is a shitty corch.

I am merely posting (what appears to be) the relevant information so that people can form their opinion based upon those facts. I thought it pertinent to show the substance of exactly what the catalyst to this series of events is.

I don't really have an opinion one way or the other. As far as allegations go, those read in a way that seems credible. But it is double-hearsay. So, there you go. One can make an argument both ways.

I mean, if it was Bill Bellicheck with a sketchy hearsay story (in fact, I'm sure they exist), I don't think there'd be a big uproar about it. But why risk the moral or ethical hit for Greg Schiano?

Will know soon if he stays or goes. I hope FSU ponies up and makes him untouchable like Dabo. It is like a band aid. You just have to rip it off and pay the guy. He is a top 5 coach at the bottom of the top 5 coaches for pay. Of course he is the first target for every major opening because he is the most attainable.

The guy who’s had Charles Kelly as his DC for four years is not a top five corch

Kelly was not his first pick but Pruitt blindsided him after the national championship and no quality candidates were available. Or he wanted to keep the staff largely intact. CK is gone after this year. Somebody must believe he is a top 5 coach other than Noles fans. These schools keep lining up to pay him top 5 money. A&M is reportedly getting ready to plop down 8 million a year for him.

My BIL told me about some local yokel #INSIDER (@Orlando) on the Knoxvegas radio tom bout Terry Schiavo to Get Blown Out CONFIRMED. Ordinarily he told me this would be some delusional clown selling used Pontiacs on Rutledge Pike just calling into escape their life in Strawberry Plains but this the same #INSIDER that knew about Lance Kitten. I’m still hoping it’s Le Smiles so I can watch the Vololololols run the off tackle dive 35 times a game.

He’s definitely a good coach, I was just messing with you

Kelly does suck, though

Never liked Kelly from the beginning with Okie State game. The feel of the defense is just soft and reacts instead of attacks. Then that whole season and the Oregon game confirmed he was not fit for the role.

Apparently Peyton Manning signed off on the Schiano hire. They are all pawns of the shitty Haslam that is running the Browns.
