Currie drops a turd, hiring a turd.

Schiano, whomever hires him, will be the second most successful college hire made this year. He was awesome at Rutgers and it wasn't with just smoke and mirrors, he got real NFL talent there. I wouldn't think a K-Stater would need to be reminded how good Rutgers was.

If I recall, key to Schiano's success was his ability to hold camps all summer long in Florida to tap into the recruiting down there in a big way.  That elevated Rutgers in regard to speed and talent in their lesser conference quite quickly.

As a result of that tactic, the NCAA no longer allows a school to go this massive camp route far from home.  In addition, he will be trying to elevate talent to compete in a much tougher conference.

Not saying he will fail.  But the hire isn't a slam dunk, either.

I know that Campbell buyout is no small number but the idea that Tennessee can’t pay that is absurd. Also most buyouts get negotiated down to a lower number

Also I think Campbell would be a better hire than Schiano

If the objection is the Penn State stuff, that's completely fair but let's not act like you guys wouldn't act like this if the hire wasn't anyone but Gruden.

I recall Schiano having his guys cause fights when the other team would kneel down, and Peyton supposedly cussed him out after that.  I also recall during his time in Tampa Bay, there was a MRSA break-out.  And I also hear that he is a 100% pure unadulterated grade A+ bad person.

...the deal, if reached, would be worth upwards of $10M per season for Gruden, with another $8M per season reserved for the salaries of his staff.

So colossally stupid. Come on, they aren't going to give that dude $10 million a year

stupid why?
it’s not currie’s money, it costs him nothing.  he’s giving his fans what they want and putting money in his own pocket via 5 years+ of job security.  if it doesn’t work, its’s gruden’s fault, not currie’s and no one would think otherwise

It's stupid because I'm guessing he can find someone more proven than Gruden for that much money. He needs to hire who he thinks is best for the job, not be bullied by idiots to do what they think is fun. If the search leads him to Gruden at $18 million a year then fine, but I'm guessing that wouldn't be necessary.

more proven than the guy with 30 years of coaching experience, a super bowl ring, and the far and away number one choice of the fanbase.  no. give them what they want and pay him their money, that’s how this should work.
this isn’t a complicated calculus


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

I think the fan base and twitter is actually going to stop the hire. Amazing.

As it should.  I wouldn't want that guy as our next HC in Manhattan.  I'll take Sean over him any day.

LMAO..Haynesworth "no disrespect to Greg Schiano"  My friends and i have an understanding that as long as you say "no disrespect" you can say ANYTHING you want to/about them.  You can imagine...it's basically identical to what Albert did here.  Well played Albert.

Holy crap, why would anyone even consider that job? Possibly the 7th/8th best job in the conference and a completely unrealistic lunatic filled fan base.

Every not complete crap coach should stay they eff away.

If Schiano falls through, what are their options? Could be a disaster either way.

White House getting involved now.  :lol:

Quote
Following the lead of several Volunteer state politicians, White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders made a scathing Facebook post on Sunday evening, criticizing the Volunteers for hiring someone who, according to testimony from former Penn State assistant Mike McQueary, was aware that Gerry Sandusky was abusing young as early as 2001.

Jon Gruden could’ve put his wife’s cheerleading uniform on, accepted the Tennessee job, endorsed Roy Moore, and UT fans would not have been this mad.

Congrats to Tennessee fans for torpedoing the Greg Schiano hire. Would have been a disaster. Sick of incompetent administration making idiotic hires. Many better candidates available. Zero reason to hire Schiano.
