Dan Wolken is a talentless POS.

[wuwh_08]

He should just man up and admit he was wrong, but he's come too far and can't turn back.

You know, I heard a similar story last week about something that had gone too far and couldn't turn back, AJ and Michael Williams accuser. That didn't end well for the accuser last week and suspect it won't end well for Wonken.

 

[VolFan..But]

Fact is, most job search info/offers etc are never made public. No one really knows who offered who most of the time. Occasionally it gets leaked but not the majority of the time. To say that no one (besides Miss State) inquired about Pruitt is not necessarily correct. Just like when Hamilton destroyed Tennessee athletics, Fulmer had at least 7 major offers that where never made public and some kept saying "no one wants to hire him". It just was never made public. And why would/should it?

 

[ptcarter]

If Dan were both smart and vindictive, he would argue that the main reason Schiano is unemployable in this situation is the way Tennessee fans painted him as being complicit in sexual abuse on SchiaNO Sunday. That position would affirm what he said previously and acknowledge the reality of the current situation. Of course, Dan is not smart.

Of course he could spin it this way. In doing so would also pick the scab.. Shianio, being complicit in sexual abuse would be the reason the fans got upset, not vice-versa.

It's his albatross, not ours.

That sounds good....

But then you have OSU not promoting a guy that most everyone said should be the HC here because of the ignorant "hillbillys to the south".

OSU knows him substantially better than UT him being employed there. And yet they still dodged the chance.

 

[Pruitt Will Do It]

EXACTLY!! The Schiano hire was all about kicking the can down the road for another 3 or 4 years and do the same thing again. UTAD had become about counting beans and winning was something nice to have but totally unnecessary. UT and it's administrators took the school off the grid of being competitive in sports. I THINK and HOPE that has changed, only time will tell.

I think Coach Pruitt will turn things around for Tennessee Football like Rick Barnes has for Tennesseee Men's Basketball

 

[Pruitt Will Do It]

LOL.

Tennessee fans reject Schiano in part because of allegations that he helped cover up sexual abuse allegations against a coach. National media, including most prominently Dan Wolken, basically says Tennessee fans are dumb hillbillies and those accusations have no real merit.

A few months later, Ohio State's head coach forced on leave on accusations that he (and his entire staff) were aware of domestic abuse by one of their coaches, but ignored it.

National media says "one thing has nothing to do with the other."

Yup. Sure thing.

Up is down, down is up, and Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Ocryo State can never do anything wrong because they're in the Playoffs every season That's what it adds up to

 

[AustinMem]

I tend to agree with Wolken's points in his tweet. This has nothing to do with Tennessee. Bringing this back up just makes the fan base look worse. Let it go. Lots of other people thought Schiano would be a good hire. I disagree with those people, but they have a right to their opinion. Twitter trolling him only proves him as being correct in his texts with Currie.

 

[Pruitt Will Do It]

Wolken is just mad because him and Currie were apparently BFFs and Currie leaked the Schiano hire to Wolken. We all know what happened after that. He hates Tennessee fans because they put a huge blemish on his career. He's a scrub.

Tennessee fans when they rose up against Sh*tiano torpedoed Dan Wolken's career exposing him as a tool of the Haslams and Currie.

f*** Dan Wolken and the Ohio State jock sniffing national sports media.

I tend to agree with Wolken's points in his tweet, although c is debatable (did he have a firm offer or were there just discussions?) and kind of besides the point.

Let's see. Currie based his decision to go after Schiano based on Ohio State's "vetting" of him and Urban's recommendation. I think we see how thorough the OSU "vetting" process is now.

If Schiano was such a great hire, why has he had NO other college head coaching offers after his debacle in Tampa. Pruitt, according to most sources, was offered at MSU.

 

[Jnunn]

Vol Twitter did well and ratio’d Danny boy

Forgive me for being old. What is "ratio-ing" someone on Twitter?

 

[UT-Rex]

if anything happens to the head coach, the associate head coach would take the duties, like Dabo at Clemson

Wait a minute. Schiano is Associate Head Coach by title? And OSU made another person interim?
Dead giveaway.

Yep ! A Tennessee Fan ^ back in 2009 ("what is an assoc head coach" thread) pretty much defined the partial expected duties entailed when assigning one the position of Assoc Head Coach.


Urban MeyerHead Coach
Greg Schiano Assoc. Head Coach / Defensive Coordinator

So out of this thread all I figured out was the original fade is a troll. Makes a negative statement about CJP, gets proven wrong, crickets!

Don't misunderstand me, I in no way think Schiano would have been a good hire, and i do find it quite funny that even though by "title" it would look like he should have been named interim, he was not. My point is, it makes us look bad to "twitter troll" a reporter because he had a different opinion 7 months ago, especially when there were plenty of other "media personalities" and supposedly coaches, who thought the same. Rubbing that in his face and calling him out on social media just makes us look ignorant and lacking class. This story has nothing to do with Tennessee. Does it help confirm our thinking? Likely so, but why hold onto all of that anger and resentment?

So when you’re huggin a tree? Do you consider the softness of the bark, or would you consider that discriminatory?

We didn't just dodge a bullet by avoiding Schiano. We dodged a nuclear bomb.

It's the point that this guy is shown to have conspired with Currie to run PR on this hire. He straight up called every Vol fan an idiot, and did this soley because he and Currie are buddies. And we're supposed to sit here and just keep our mouths shut cause the guy that every freaking reporter or sports person, save a few such as Clay Travis and Barrett Sallee, wanted us to keep our mouths shut and be on our knees thanking the good lord that we should be so lucky that he would grace us with the hire that is Schiano.

Now all of a sudden it's ok that OSU won't put him as interim head coach who is "vastly" more "qualified" than Ryan Day? Nah man Wolken needs this kind off ridicule because he and others deserve it.

Forgive me for being old. What is "ratio-ing" someone on Twitter?

When a tweet gets more replies than likes, mostly due to the unpopular opinion of the tweet. Most of Dan's tweets re: this situation are ratio'd.

f*** Dan Wolken and the Ohio State jock sniffing national sports media.

Well thought out post.

Basically, when you have more replies than retweets and likes.
