re: Greg Schiano has Rutgers 3-0 - same guy UT ran off for Pruitt

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.

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.
