I think the acid test would be for other fans on this board to ask yourselves how you would feel if your AD had hired Schiano? I'm pretty sure he would not have been well received by most SEC fans for a variety of reasons including the fact that he was associated with Penn St. during the scandal. No one ever said life was fair. It is entirely possible that Schiano had no knowledge of what was going on and there is no direct evidence to prove that he did. But much less has placed a cloud over promising careers. And as I said it doesn't seem fair but it is what it is.
This is valid and I will answer. No, I would not want him at Auburn. However, it has nothing to do with Penn State, I wouldn’t want him because he is a raging a-hole. I have no problem with volfan not wanting him, but the character assasination based on a flimsy at best connection to sandusky is complete subterfuge. I just wish they would be honest and say, “ we didn’t want him because he sucks and is a raging a-hole and we used the Penn State excuse because that’s all we had”.

Like I said earlier, it's a shame a once proud football program is now being run by a mob of psycho inbreds.

Go look at the first few pages of the Schiano thread on the CC board yesterday. It wasn't just VOLS fans bringing up his past initially
I get it. I wouldn't want to hire him either, but that's not the point.
If it was a coach like say Chris Petersen there would have been a whole lot of Vol fans having to learn how spell hearsay and you know it.
It is an issue, but it's only an issue to Vol fans because he wasn't a good enough hire.

You make great points. I don’t think any SEC fan base would love the hire, but I don’t think any could stop it like the they did. We would all accept it, hope for the best, and get ready for another hiring cycle in three years. What Tenn did is unprecedented.
I completely agree though about his fate. With millions on the line coaches have to be expected to be judged for actions off the field too. Art Briles isn’t in jail but will never coach again for similar reasons.

The vast majority of the Schiano Rah Rah on the Rant comes from opposing fans that want to see Tennessee kept down. Be honest about THAT.
If UT fans were in favor of hiring Schiano most of these posters who are blasting UT fans now would be ridiculing the hire and blasting them for not objecting to it.

The rant would be flooded with post about how we hired a guy who possibly enabled Sandusky lol

I like your logic. Impressive.

"Potential recruits parent: "I'm supposed to entrust 4 years of my child's life to the guy who got deposed in what case? "
You're fricking clueless if you think Schiano ever gave a deposition. Seriously. And you ask if I'm joking?

Appreciate the kind words but they will mostly fall on deaf ears on this board.
Everyone absolutely despises us for one reason or another. If you’re not a VOL then you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I think there'd be a similar political, media and fan backlash storm at most major universities if it leaked at the 11th hour that their AD was in the process of stealthily hiring and flying back with Greg Schianno to trot him out that evening as their new HC.

Involved in a deposition*
"Hey honey, nevermind. They said its Schiano's and another guys word against another guy who went on the stand and swore under oath that Schiano did in fact witness a child get molested and reported it. It must just be a mix up."
In the court of public and parental perception, that still doesn't pass the smell test, frick boy.
quote:
Schiano, who was an assistant at Penn State from 1990–95, was named in a deposition by former assistant Mike McQueary, the key witness that helped imprison Jerry Sandusky for the rest of his life for raping and abusing a series of boys during his time coaching at PSU. In a 2015 deposition, unsealed a year later, McQueary testified that Tom Bradley, another assistant, had told him that Schiano had witnessed Sandusky abusing a child. From the deposition:
A: [Bradley] 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: Greg Schiano?
A: Yes.
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.

But for real, y'all want us to admit one of the following:
1. We are just pissed he isn't Gruden
2. We thought we could get a better coach on a redo
3. We were just ignorant and thought he actually fricked boys/admitted to seeing someone frick boys/something along those lines, and we thought there was some legal proof
Response
1. Yeah, he isn't Gruden. Grumors are fun, and so is Santa. Do I need to go into more depth here? People get into the spirit of both. Kids cry when they find out Santa isn't real. Some of our fans are children.
2. Cardboardboxer hit this one on the head. If we thought we were going to do better, then we would all be freaking out about how we fricked ourselves this time. No one is doing that. We made our bed, and we damn well intend to lie in it and sleep like babies.
3. We don't want anyone that even liked PSU during that era. I personally hope we never hire another staff member who is a PSU alum, former player, coach, booster, fan or has even been there (hyperbole, of course). Don't want to touch it with a ten foot pole. You can't burn that stink off. Sorry. I don't have any idea if Schiano knew anything. He said he didn't. He probably didn't. Don't care. No thanks, and best of luck at OSU.

The bottom line is with all the other coaches available why even go there? Why take a risk that something pops up down the road? Before he was even hired people on here were calling UT pedophile U. Which one of you wants that on your school?

He didn't deserve the comma between test and frick.

For some reason, that's how I read it the first time. When I quoted it, I saw the comma and decided to edit it for my own amusement. It's just been that kinda weekend. I got food poisoning thursday morning before turkey time so I've been a little grouchy.

That is the bottom line. That doesn’t mean Tenn fans can’t have hope that Tee beats the odds and is a success, but it also means if he doesn’t and they are not going to a bowl next year they have to accept that maybe the other guy might have.
This sort of fan revolt is rare because for most fans getting the next coach is basically the best thing that can happen, and so they don’t want to frick that up when they are hiring the current coach.
But it almost feels like Tenn fans saw that their program wasn’t as desired as it once was, and wasn’t willing to cut corners on their principles to get back on top. I can respect that, most football fans aren’t that way.

[Why has this not been brought up in his over two years of recruiting at Ohio State?]
Thanks to the hillbilly mob it now might be and he might get fired there and never coach again
