He's been ranked one time at the end of a college football season in his life. He wasn't eligible for the job, but there's a reason why ppl hate him and he's been out of work.

Also, schiano wasn't even close to .500 in the big east while he was at Rutgers. You can't hire that guy if you are the UT AD and Currie is a rough ridin' idiot for not knowing that. this went about as well as anyone could've predicted.

Well, the one thing that we can all agree on here is that John Currie is probably mumped, regardless of any of our thoughts on whether this is ethically right or wrong.  He's probably mumped.

This is all truth. I tried to justify Schiano for football reasons last year and earlier today, I was dead wrong for that and Currie should have done better.

The enabler stuff is bullshit.

Yeah absolutely, but the UT fans saw their opening and took it. Again I feel like I could've predicted this if someone would've told me five days ago that schiano would've been the guy. Not the part about them getting Currie to back out of the deal, but the overall reaction and them using the pedophile stuff absolutely. That's where Currie is a dumbass though. He doesn't get it. He just doesn't. There is a disconnect with him and his job and what it is that he's actually getting paid to do. He won't be there in five years. crap he might not even be there in five weeks.

Is the Washington State job open? He really should be working for the NCAA though.

It is.  I joked Saturday about the Leach to Tennessee rumors in that why would Leach escape Schulz only to go to Currie.  Then I joked about Tennessee trading Currie for Leach so that everyone's where and with who they want. 

It would still work.

I'm amazed even at that list, Les Miles isn't on that list of the coach search.

He has SEC pedigree.  Has connections to the LA recruiting grounds.  Granted, his offenses is severely outdated, but damn, his defenses were elite.

Actually not a bad idea. Washington State needs to get their financial house in order. Tennessee would get a great coach. Not sure if he fits into the SEC as well as he does in the PAC but this is probably better than what will actually happen.

99% chance that's not how it went down.

He is not meant to be an AD in 2017. He maybe could have been passable somewhere before the internet was invented. Maybe

“At no time did Tom Bradley ever witness any inappropriate behavior. Nor did he have any knowledge of alleged incidents in the 80’s and 90’s. He has consistently testified as such. Any assertions to the contrary are false. When he became aware of the 2001 incident it had already been reported to the University administration years earlier.”

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.

If this is accurate, i doubt he would have even been interested.

 I am a little concerned that this backlash on Clay Travis and UT fans will detract from John Currie’s hand in this.

Right?  There'd be some upset cougs, but nothing organized and outraged enough to derail things.  Schulz and Currie could retire or go somewhere even more remote within 5 years before it gets to problematic.

If the offers were FBS offers, we were certainty better than any offer he got. LSU, Texas, and Oregon definitely didn't offer him. I'm thinking Baylor definitely did Purdue, Cincinnati?

I agree we are right up there. I'm not sure KSU would be a fit. Isn't he an East Coast guy? I have no idea

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

Brady Hoke probably.

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.

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.

Okay, hadn’t seen or heard that.

Let me see if I can find it.


This explains it pretty well.

The guy that wrote that is a Sandusky supporter....

Fascinating....

Yeah Ziegler is a real piece of crap. The blog post gets into him as a 9/11 truther, I'm also pretty sure he's also a Sandy Hook truther. I hear him periodically on a Boston based podcast I listen to, he's a great value brand Alex Jones. Thankfully there are sane people out there speaking up for Schiano.
