For more than an hour and a half I have been texting on a group text with 73 other state legislators about the possibility of Greg Schiano being named the new head coach of UT. Schiano worked at Penn State during the Sandusky years, and according to a July 2016 Washington Post article, Mike McQueary testified that Schiano knew of Sandusky's abuse. Over this hour and a half, we have had our leadership contact Depitro, the Trustees and the Governor to express our strong objections to his hiring if true. We are still texting...

This is what stopped the hire...not a painted rock.

Atleast their boosters have balls...ours wear white rubber boots and stay quiet when a shite hire is going down.

Congrats Tenn...looks like you stopped Schiano.
I'm sure he was #4 or #5 on your list...the question is, did your admin and fanbase just scare off #6, 7 and 8?
And I thought LSU and Alleva were inept.

The fans and legislators taking a stand and putting a foot down could actually be something to build on, if the AD is replaced and the right hire is made.

“Tennessee is a mess! Their Hiring process is a disaster. Sad!”-trump’s tweet about Tennessee.

If true, what coach would want to walk into that situation? Why have an AD if the state legislature, fans and boosters are going to make the decision to hire/fire coaches.
This is on the AD. Your job is to hire the coach, not cater to the emotional whims of an emotional fanbase that will NEVER be 100% united.
