I know fax and evidents is a meme here, but serious question: how much evidence exists to suggest that Schiano had first-hand knowledge of the PSU issues while he was there? If so, are his actions in response to it known to a definitive degree?

If it’s absent and it seemingly is, (I run the risk of sounding like a piece of shit here) I hope Rutgers doesn’t cave to that trash. I’m not saying he’s some beacon of excellence l but the guy has a right to gainful employment just like us if he hasn’t faced criminal prosecution and there isn’t definitive evidence of his contribution to hiding scandal.

I don’t see why it’s okay to just try to smear someone’s name like that. Not sure where the fuck you get off trying to pressure a college for something so alleged. Focus on advocating for your fucking victims instead of applying PR pressure. Student enrollment isn’t going to drop because they hire the guy. Fucking drop it (if there’s no evidence)

Teffenhart said her group reviewed the controversy that derailed Schiano’s appointment as the University of Tennessee. She said it is not worth debating whether Schiano had direct knowledge that boys were being sexually abused by one of his co-workers. As a coach on the Penn State staff, the fact that he either didn’t know or didn’t do anything about it should disqualify him from Rutgers’ top job.

Just an absolutely absurd take.

IIRC, Schiano was tangentially implicated by Mike McQueary's deposition when MQ stated that he went to Tom Bradley, and Bradley told him that Schiano had a similar encounter. That any such conversations ever took place was entirely from McQueary's testimony. Bradley and Schiano both deny that any such encounter or conversation took place.

IMHO, it doesn't pass the smell test. Schiano strikes me as the "take matters into his own hands" type that wouldn't walk out like MQ allegedly did.

Source: Greg Schiano, Rutgers fail to come to agreement on coaching job

After more than two weeks of discussions, Greg Schiano and Rutgers could not come to an agreement for him to become the program’s next head coach, a source told Yahoo Sports on Sunday. The decision leaves Rutgers, already reputed as one of the country’s most dysfunctional athletic departments, essentially starting over with their coaching search. The school fired Chris Ash on Sept. 29.

Rutgers officials interviewed Schiano on Nov. 5 near Columbus, Ohio, and he’s been the prohibitive favorite to return to the school where he coached from 2001 to 2011. During that meeting, Schiano detailed a list of potential expenditures that he felt would be the minimum for the school to become competitive in the Big Ten East. This included staff salaries, support staff salaries and facilities upgrades — areas where Rutgers is lagging far behind its Big Ten peers.

Although they went deep into discussions this week, Schiano wasn’t going to accept job parameters that he felt wouldn’t give him a realistic chance to win in the conference. The sides couldn’t come to an agreement over multiple facets of the negotiation. While Rutgers was willing to increase support significantly from its current levels, it wasn’t to the threshold that Schiano saw as necessary.

A source with direct knowledge of the negotiations said that Schiano’s salary was not one of the hold-ups. He was slated to be paid among the bottom three head coaches in the Big Ten. The source added that Schiano made concessions from many of his initial asks.

The sides have been in frequent touch since the Nov. 5 meeting when Schiano laid out a granular plan that detailed what he felt it would take to revive the school’s lagging football program.

Rutgers (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) is considered the worst Power Five program in college football and this failed courtship does little to shake that reputation. Rutgers has lost its seven conference games this year by an average of 36.5 points per game, the most glaring sign of the talent discrepancy between the Scarlet Knights and their alleged Big Ten peers.
