How embarrassing would it be to have a job offer yanked because an entire state though you sucked?

What is the fascination with Chuckie?

Any idea who a realistic(not Gruden) plan B would be? Seems like half the SEC is looking for a new coach.

Tenn is gonna live with this stink for a long, long time. I mean, i totally agree with the decision to back out. What a total and complete settling situation to hire a guy who's never really shown sustained talent. Nevertheless.....it really exposes the administration to be clowns. How the hell did they NOT see this coming?!? Forget the PSU stuff - as freaking terrible as it is - but who's gonna be excited by this hire?!?

I guarantee you that if he had a National Championship in his resume, the whole Penn State thing would have been glossed over. Look at how some of the guys who have far dirtier resumes (ah... Bobby Petrino???) but better wins under their belts move on with nary a dart thrown at them.

Tennessee may hide behind the veneer of moral outrage but the reality is that they really balked at Schiano not being a gaudy enough hire for them. It will be interesting who they go to next. (It won't be Gruden.)

Wait...is that UC's interim president goofball who just stepped in it?

We'd have hired Bob Diaco if she was still here.

A more likely answer is that the vast majority of OSU fans have little knowledge of the nuts and bolts of their program. If it's positive news and has that block O logo, it gets shared straight to Facebook. If it's a shirt that says "Ohio State," it goes straight into the shopping cart.

I don't think Schiano's involvement in the Sandusky scandal is all that known. I never knew he was involved. He did run over someone on their bicycle a year or so ago though.

Schiano's name came up on this forum multiple times during our coaching search last year, and I don't recall anyone pointing out that he was involved in the Sandusky case. There were a multitude of other reasons brought up as to why he was not a good hire, and none of them had anything to do with Penn State.

I am now seeing news outlets report that there is no evidence that Schiano was involved with the cover up at Penn State.

Tee Martin or Jeff Brohm. That screwed up administration will be extremely fortunate if they can get either of those guys after such a horrendous decision to try and hire someone today connected to the whole child rape scandal.

It’s not about the evidence or lack thereof, it’s the connection of being at PSU when that all went down and what was said under oath by McQueary about Schiano telling him he witnessed that POS Sandusky raping a boy and not doing anything about it. Period. No competent school in their right mind would let anyone associated with that be the face of their football program.

Maybe they will rehire Butch Jones, lol.

Let's be honest. The "outrage" is to stop the school from hiring Schiano because he is a mediocre coach, and not because he was involved with Penn State.

I would think Brown at Troy would be a name to look for. Venables at Clemson and Kiffen.

For some sure but You had millennial females in goggles that don’t know $hit about football protesting on campus today wanting to burn it all down and politicians expressing outrage on twitter. It would have gotten insanely ugly had that hire went through.

If they were smart they would have rehired Kiffin already. Venables doesn’t want to be a HC anywhere from what I’ve always heard.

I agree that the PSU stuff is strictly done savvy smear campaign stuff. Hardcore fans just done want average coach Schiano. All the ppl jumping on the sexual abuse train at least are getting played. Their boards were appalled by the merits of the hire and found a winning strategy

Jimbo said to be SERIOUSLY considering leaving FSU. No school is exempt.

Sandusky stuff aside, Schiano is a TERRIBLE hire LOL. What a clown show in Knoxville. I can't believe they were seriously going to hire the man.

I read it was pretty much a done deal to Texas A&M.
