According to Hyams this morning.....

I agree he was never coming. I disagree that he wasn't asked. He was definitely a candidate even if there was no chance of him accepting.

Oh I’m just trying to add a little humor with a touch of sarcasm to this fiasco. This has become the biggest cluster **** I have seen since I first heard Eastwood use the term.
Amazing that Currie did not properly vet Schiano.

Peyton Manning did indeed sign off on the Schiano hire.

Also says Fulmer had very little if any input.

Who knows what the sequence of events was that led us to Schiano (how many people passed us over), but it's hard to believe Peyton just rubber stamped this.

Also on Golic and Trey they was giving the vols a hard time they said that report that was being passed around was not true that the guy said Shiano did not know and that Urban Meyer had vetted him and took up for him and alot of people had recommended Schiano . They also said that the fans didn't want him because he was not Gruden and that the fans thought Schiano was a bad hire that if it was say a Gruden with the false accusations that no one would have cared . They said it's all he said he said and that Schiano has said he didn't know that their is no way of knowing also said he is good enough to be Ohio state DC and he works with young men there and that it looks bad for the vols now. Don't kill the messenger. Also the BUCS vetted him and that the police made sure to arrest the ones who done wrong.

Did he even do as much as browse Schiano's wikipedia page? Per a Hyams tweet last night, Currie was not even aware that Schiano had worked under Sandusky at Penn State in the 90's. If an AD for any other SEC school claimed that sort of ignorance of a prospective head football coach's resume I would call BS... but somehow at Tennessee it's very consistent with how things are done.

Also after he was let go by the BUCS he worked at Espn and they all spoke highly of him and that he was a great coach that built Rutgers up while there was offered many jobs and turned them down cause he was committed to rebuilding Rutgers.

I don't know any inside information, but it seems we were passed over by our top targets thus we looked at Schiano. If we throw the bank at Gruden and he dosen't flinch then there is not much more Tennessee can do at that point. Hopefully we can find better options than Schiano.

If true, Peyton needs to STFU and stay out of it. Clearly his hiring judgments suck after first Currie and now Schiano. Maybe is going to the Browns front office after all.

Hyams hasn't known anything this entire coaching search. All of his reports have been reactionary to stuff that has already been stated. He has been back-pedaling and using others to make his reports.

Hyams is full of bull $#!T....5 minutes after beating Purdue last week his show got into the coaching search...he claimed his “prominent booster” said Schiano wasn’t a real candidate because of his personality and this Penn State story.........Jimmy is on fire with this HC search.

Except Gruden is a far better choice and also there are no accusations linked to him. Straw man argument by a couple goobers who don't know the first thing about anything that doesn't start with NFL.

Peyton was "accused" of sexual assault. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to disassociate?

I don't think Elway is going anywhere, he is the GM in Denver!

Elway could easily be promoted to a higher position in the organization after winning a super bowl.

He brought Peyton in as "his guy" at QB, so why couldn't he bring him in as his GM?

All this means is that the UT administration told Hyams to say that Peyton signed off on the hire.

He says WHAT they tell him to say WHEN they tell him to say it. Period. End of story. He does no independent investigating on his own. He just sits by the phone and waits for his marching orders.

Sounds like 99.99% of this board that so many people seem to believe. But the fact that Hyams actually goes to practice and press conferences and things like that gives him credibility.

Ainge is now backtracking and saying that Peyton OKd this hire.

Also Schiano was apparently our #1choice. Unreal. Just unreal.

I get what you're saying. Most of the stuff he says can usually be taken to the bank. He just gets it last. It also makes him a useful dupe when they need to lie about something (Kiffin hire, black uniforms, etc.) I don't mind him that much but, just realize, that he'll sing whatever tune the administration wants him to sing. That's why he never breaks really big stories.

So, in an age where people are always slamming the media for being "fake news" whenever something is said that is not liked, you complain about the guy not being first when he's working to get comments verified, but then proceed to slam him for not being first?
