On the brewing Schiano scandal:

Pretty obvious this is nothing but UT fans being crybabies over not getting the coach they wanted. For a fanbase so on it’s high horse right now, they’ve never had a problem with Manning’s far more credible accusations, and one of the legislators taking a stand against Schiano is openly a Roy Moore supporter. The allegations are extremely scant, based on ten year old hearsay, and apparently OSU already did their own investigation anyways and found it not credible. Nobody deserves to have their name dragged in the mud like this by a whiney bitter fanbase. Hope Urban supports him publicly

What would be hilarious is if they penned the deal and they still have to pay him even if he never coaches there

At this point he might have a decent case of defamation of character as Tennessee's change of heart could make it hard for him to get hired again. It would be a case Tennessee certainly doesn't want as it would keep the story in the papers. They'd pay just to make it go away.

People who directly looked into Schiano's past and found no reason to not hire him:

The front offices of the Buccaneers, as well as the athletic departments of the Buckeyes and Volunteers and a prep school where he coached teenage boys

Prosecutors and investigators who named Schiano as a person of interest in any investigation into the child rape case:

...

People who don't want Schiano as a head coach and cried like little bitches:

Tennessee fans

Don't forget Oregon looked into his past. They almost hired him last year

The Fulmer Cup is named after a Tennessee coach for a reason.

I'm concerned this is going to be s distraction for the Wisconsin game

If anything, the fact Schiano was thisclose to being hired should have been a distraction for the last game. Now that that offer's off the table, his mind will be clear.

Sara Hucklebee Sanders could be in the crosshairs of a lawsuit.

Did Sara Huckabee Sanders slander Schiano?

The President’s press secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, wrote on Facebook, “Guess who’s the new head football coach at the University of Tennesse [sic]. Yup.

The guy who covered for Jerry Sandusky. #GregSchiano.”
