Tennessee has backed out of a memorandum of understanding with Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano to be the Volunteers' next football coach, sources told ESPN's Chris Low.

The memorandum of understanding was signed by both parties Sunday in Columbus, Ohio, and the school had planned to introduce Schiano at a news conference Sunday night.

Great day in Big Orange Country! John Currie will not be the AD at the end of the week imo. That will also be great!

This is so great....

It's like watching the Hindenburg and the Titanic disasters unfolding at the same time, but I just can't stop watching.

after what your fanbase did to he and schiano, i’m sure it will be quite easy to fill both positions
good luck with that

Finebaum is shitting all over Currie on ESPN right now.

Dear god, is there a recording?

Try this one.  It catches most of it.

Maybe Tennessee should just get rid of the AD position and make all AD decisions based on Twitter polls.

Yes at least we stood by quietly while he ruined our basketball program and would have ruined our football program (given the chance).  Just bend over and bite the pillow like we did UT fans!

I’ve now moved the UT job from the 8th best to the 14th ranked job in the SEC. What a joke they are.

What we will never know for sure, is whether Schiano was Currie's pick for KSU as well.  AD's have a "short list," right?  Would this have been who we would have gotten if Snyder had stepped down before Currie departed? 

There is no way in hell the KSU community would have mustered the outrage that the UT community gathered in such a short period of time.  KSU fans would have definitely just taken it.

I’m Lol’ing, but I’ve never heard a peep about Schiano and Sandusky, and now several reporters are saying there was never really anything to it.

Lol’ing at Currie, hate to see someone who may have done nothing wrong get skewered on social media.

You're probably right, however, I would be less than pleased because of his questionable checkered past with the Penn State stuff and the Tampa stuff as well, and I would be doing whatever I could to convince others that this is just a bad hire all around.

It's funny, other than him, is there any other coaches that is allegedly linked to the PSU stuff, that is actively coaching at the moment?

I'm assuming you mean for this to sound like a bad thing for KSU, but I'm really not too sure given that no one is jealous of Tennessee's fanbase right now.

Can anyone confirm.were the big money donors at UT completely out if the loop on this?  Still trying to comprehend that a massive Twitter rant moved the needle on this hire?

The problem is, while there may never really anything into it, it was testified, under oath that he knew of the situation and didn't do anything.

Really?  C'mon.  He's getting skewered because Schiano is a incredibly shitty pick for a place like Tennessee...or anywhere that wants to win.  The Sandusky crap is just sanctimonious bullshit.

I'm honestly neutral on it.  It's both good an bad.  Mostly though, we will take anything and like it.

Regardless of any of the "facts," this is likely to be remembered as one of the biggest eff ups in athletic administration history, right?  I mean, holy cow.

Whether he did know or not, the guy seems like a massive dick that literally no one likes as a person. They just had that with Butch Jones. To me, the outrage somewhat makes sense. I’m still trying to understand why Tennessee tagged him of all people as the guy
