I honestly don't blame Tennessee fans

I know I'll get downvoted to hell, but let's say there are 4-6 equally qualified coaches who want to come to Tennessee. If there's even a 10% chance that one of them knew about Sandusky abusing and raping little kids, why hire him? Why not scratch his name and move on to one of the other 4-6 equally qualified candidates?
Removing Schiano as a candidate doesn't necessarily mean you think he's 100% guilty of something.

This is really hard to understand for many on here and our AD is an idiot.

At this point thats a hell of an assumption unless they're equally shitty coaches.

I don't blame them either... They cannot help it...
I do absolutely love the dumpster fire that entire program has become though... This is beyond my wildest dreams kinda stuff... The only thing better would be a giant sinkhole...

That is the problem- there wasn't.
According to those connected to the program Tenn was at the bottom of the list. Now they are considering candidates with no head coaching experience, or who aren't otherwise working at top programs.

I don't blame them for not wanting him, however they were judge, jury and wanna be executioners yesterday.

I like the fact that the powers that be realized that the fans’ support may crumble behind their shitty hire.
I wish LSU’s AD listened to fan complaints like that. We’d get decent concessions, less piped-in thug rap music...

I think this is somewhat debatable. Schiano did pretty well at Rutgers, but even there he never won the Big East in his 11 seasons. He had an uninspiring 2 years with Tampa Bay, and is now coordinating a defense that is more talented than everyone they play.
I think Jeff Brohm, Chad Morris, and Matt Campbell are just as qualified.

Yeah idk that anyone blames them for not wanting Schiano the coach. They are getting shite for the holier than thou attitude they used to justify it rather than just saying he's a shite coach we don't want him.

0% chance they get Morris or Campbell after all this shite.
They might overpay for Brohm, but he is just Bert 2.0.

If there's even a 10% chance that one of them knew about Sandusky abusing and raping little kids, why hire him?
The fact that speculation and hearsay about this man has gone public and has fricked up his reputation is one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in this whole situation.
You don't want the guy as coach? Fine. Don't hire him. But if you do, don't latch on to some bullshite in an attempt to sabotage the hire and torpedo the dude's career.

The scratching of names point in the process is supposed to come before the actual hiring.

That would be a valid point if the hearsay wasn’t already public record. It is. Your point is moot.

I wish I had more than one upvote.

Yep. There's a chance he knew about the happenings with Sandusky and didn't say anything. But whether that's the case or not, I still don't think he's a good hire. This isn't about proving anything. The fact that he's a shitty hire was enough to not want him, his being implicated (true or not) with the Penn State stuff is just icing on the cake.

Yeah, well, there aren't.

Interesting because it isn't fricking credible.

That’s interesting but not all that relevant.
If Clay had gotten leaked documents or something that wasn’t in the public record, it would be more relevant.
Coaches get paid a lot of money because it’s a very public position with a lot of eyes on the program. So the PR part of the job is a big deal. They want the big salaries but not the public scrutiny. That’s not the way it works.

The failure of Currie to see the negative optics of a potential Schiano hire is the sole issue. Keep in mind this is the same guy who ran Frank Martin off from K-State. None of this would have happened to UT or Schiano if Currie wasn't so stupid.
The objective observer in me says the Vols need to can him. The Mizzou fan in me hopes they keep him for a very long time.
What say you Vol fans?
