Greg Schiano was the collateral damage of a butthurt fan base who somehow convinced themselves John Gruden wanted to coach there. They created faux outrage because they were so disappointed in what they perceived to be their administration’s lack of ability to land Gruden.

In reality, they should have been upset at the “insiders” and media members who perpetuated the nonsense that Gruden was “the guy.”

That was one of the most pathetic, bizarre sequence of events I’ve ever seen surrounding a college football coaching search.

Laughable. Tennessee would’ve been more than happy to land Mullen, but Florida snatched him up at the last minute.

Honestly I think a lot them just didnt like the idea of Schiano. Didnt even have a real reason. They already failed on Gruden before butch and Dooley I think.

This is what really happened in that coaching search. They were so convinced they were getting Gruden that any other name was unacceptable. When Schiano was announced, they were so embarrassed that it wasn't Gruden that they used Schiano's very frail ties (at most) to the Sandusky situation as an excuse to reject the hire. It was really because his name wasn't Jon Gruden though.

That was a prime example of what happens when you let Clay Travis and a bunch of mouthbreathers from Twitter run your coaching search.
