There are reports that TN will owe Schiano $20 million in a buyout for a contract that was signed but TN backed out of it. But only speculation on this. Fox Sports Knoxville mentioned this.

If the cause is the Penn State stuff, from what I've read, that's double hearsay. That won't cut it in court.

It probably isnt, but god do I wish it was true.

Sources close to #Vols AD John Currie tell me he wasn’t aware Greg Schiano coached at Penn State - nor was he aware of the sworn testimony identifying him as having witnessed the abuse of minors -
Currie only vetted Schiano’s time from his days at Rutgers thru present day

I’d like to see Schiano try to argue that in court
It wasn’t a final deal if the board of trustees and so forth didn’t sign off on it.
Jimbo didn’t get shite from UAB’s contract offer getting rejected by the Alabama BOT circa 2005.

also, wouldnt we think that Currie at least ran the hire through Peyton before making a final decision?

Oh I’d be willing to bet that this is nothing more than a PR damage control statement. No way in hell he didn’t know. He just gambled on the fans not caring, and he clearly misjudged the community

Yep. I can't imagine an SEC school hiring a football coach without using a search firm. That would be colossally stupid.

This entire story is so fascinating. We should never forget this day

Now this is actually a good example of a positive use of google or pretty much any search engine...

Well, he's either an a-hole or incompetent. Take your pick.
I hope Tenn has to deal with somebody like this on Schiano's end:

This has to be one of the more bizarre coaching hires I have ever seen.
I knew Currie was inept, but not this inept.
If they have to pay Schiano 20 million that will suck for Tenn.
