Coaching changes: coaches hired and fired, comings and goings


And that was the article he published after a litany of tweets where he parroted WaPo headlines and other sources, without actually acknowledging the testimony was second-hand hearsay. The Vol fan base has been retweeting the WaPo screencap of a headline like its a meme. I doubt they have 10 fans that actually read anything regarding the Sandusky scandal themselves, and specifically the naming of Coach Schiano in the docs unsealed in July last year.

Clay Travis was against the hire from the moment news broke this afternoon, and he handed the fanbase their marching orders and the ammo.

Greg Schiano Out at Tennessee, and the Twitter Mob That Destroyed Him Was 100% Wrong
JOHN ZIEGLER NOV 26, 2017 7:47 PM

Word leaked today that the University of Tennessee was about to make Greg Schiano their new head football coach. Normally, this news would not be worthy of a column on Mediaite, but in some ways, this might actually be the most important thing I have written for quite a while.

Greg Schiano is currently getting totally roasted on the Internet and on Twitter, and may end up losing out on the job, because of his extremely tangential, and highly dubious, alleged involvement in the “Penn State Scandal.” Even White House press secretary Sarah Sanders wrote a scathing Facebook post (specifically citing a deceiving Washington Postarticle, which she has told us usually means it is “Fake News!”) calling for Tennessee to reverse their decision. This was particularly jaw-dropping for me because of her boss, President Donald Trump, once wrote me a note thanking me for exposing how wrong the media’s narrative on “Penn State” had been.

As someone who has researched this entire story far more vigorously than anyone else, and who has no connection to the school, I can say without hesitation that the accusation against Schiano is completely lacking in any credibility or even rationality. In fact, it is overtly laughable.

The backlash against his hire, fueled largely by Tennessee based radio talk show host Clay Travis (he is the guy who recently became “famous” for saying he loves “boobs” on CNN), is based mostly on the claim that Schiano “knew” about Jerry Sandusky’s abuse and did nothing about it. This allegation was based solely on a deposition given in an insurance lawsuit by former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary (the man who claimed to have witnessed Sandusky abusing a boy sometime after around 2000-2001).

Quite simply, this entire story is utterly and obviously ridiculous.

Here are all of the many reasons why it is outrageous that this is even an issue at all:

–McQueary never even claimed to have spoken to Schiano about him supposedly having knowledge of Sandusky’s abuse. They didn’t even coach together during remotely the same time period.

Cont'd ...

So a guy who thinks Sandusky was innocent is sticking up for Coach Schiano. Yay?
