I'm seeing more and more #vols talking about how Schiano sucks at football as opposed to or at least in addition to Sandusky things.
The whole thing was just bad, and it wasn't clearly well planned out by the University of Tennessee Administration and/or John Currie, whoever did this.
I'm trying to think of this through as a rational post. Looking at Schiano, yes, there is that allegations of the Sandusky situation. As it was noted, it was coming from a 3rd hand source (McQueary) in court, which is hearsay, and no evidence to really support that claim, and Schiano has denied this. However, the PSU stuff is still pretty fresh considering that process is still being played out with the McQueary defamation case and other stuff that is going on (Baylor rape stuff being the most recent situation, indirectly). We'll never get the full story of how it exactly played out in Penn State, but anyone who is associated to that, directly or indirectly, is tainted in some peoples eyes. So I can understand why the folks doesn't want to associate themselves to the Sandusky situation, at all. It casts a bad light.
So, if we were to remove the Penn State stuff, and look at him as a coach. There has been well established reports of him being a not so very nice guy during his time in Rutgers and in the NFL. Granted, he did well in Rutgers, but it has also been noted that his tactic of using satellite camps is banned. There's also that tweet from TJ Moe that some players who played under him in Rutgers, hated him. In addition, his career in the NFL was uninspiring and there's that tweet that the NFL players hated his style, and how he treated some NFL players were pretty bad. The Freeman incident is an example of it as well. There's also that MRSA thing that happened under his watch. So I also can understand their reasoning for not wanting to have a "retread" coach, who barely made it successful in Rutgers.
Really, looking at the whole body of work, everything there just casts a bunch of red lights that, somehow, University of Tennessee and/or John just overlooked it. The Penn State stuff. The personality that really rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. It was just a poor judgement call by Tennessee and/or John.
