I can't wait to see who hires Schiano because he will take them to championships. I know this because the national sports reporters told me so and they know everything.

Did anyone actually hear this interview? Not saying it didn't happen, but sometimes things get lost in translation.

For clarity, I'm as anti-Hyams as anyone around but maybe the wording was misunderstood if the interview happened.

Been watching all morning jimmy has not been on. The runner at the bottom of the screen says talks are still on basically

Can you imagine Jimmy trying to interview Mike Leach? That would be pure comedy gold!!!

If the sports writers think Schiano is sooooo great.... why is he not a finalist for defensive coordinator of the year?

Hyams could literally be the best reporter out there if he could just get over those few minor things that he doesn't excel at. Like his arrogant, dishonest, pessimistic, condescending, domineering, unreliable, and temperamental attitude. Oh and he is wrong a lot. Other than that guys, we have one hell of a sportscaster in Knoxville.

Well Hyams can kiss it.

If not for the fans Schiano would be the coach today and we would most likely be getting hammered by the media for the hire.

THAT! And the hammering would be relentless. It would be impossible to recruit. Football haters would have a special stick to pummel the game. A competent search organization would have foreseen all this.

Schiano hire was a self-imposed death penalty.

Totally the fans fault.

It's obvious to everyone but us that Greg Schiano is some manner of football messiah destined to bring glory upon whichever school he deems worthy of his gifts.

You can tell this is true by the number of schools that have lined up to court him since 2013.

He turned down two jobs last year but stayed because he had twin sons as seniors in HS.

Its not my routine its reality. Im sorry you cant see that. I also get that you have difficulty hearing anything you dont agree with or dont want to believe is true.

Correct, it seems some have a difficult time looking outside the program and on see their intentions. What they fail to see is how its perceived nationally.

no it's not difficult. i do think some are misinformed.

no one should be shocked at the backlash, or the inability to find a coach.

but we really shouldn't care what anyone thinks. as long as we know the reason why (hence our conversation yesterday about this not being about a 'revolt' against any single coach or candidate).

the point, and this should be repeated, and repeated, and repeated as much as possible, is to put the spotlight squarely where it belongs...the administration and Jimmy Haslam jr.

and yes, it's ugly. it's messy, and it's not fun. and yes, what has happened on Sunday, and since, we will have to pay for. and we're doing that.

but the message being pushed needs to stay on point.

and eventually you'll start see more pieces coming out like the one Griffith put out about the hamstringing of assistants' salaries, and the series put out on Last Word on Sports (rocky top revolt)..you'll start hearing more folks like Boamni Jones explaining the 'why'. it's already happening locally and regionally. there are reputable reporters out there that are talking about this. they need to keep talking about it.

there's great reference material out there, like the Peter King SI article describing how dysfunctional the browns organization has been since Haslam took over, from 2014.

there aren't enough people that know enough about it, and there sure as heck aren't enough people talking about it, especially nationally.

Dear lord!!! Please help these pour souls understand that they did not back out because of the fan uproar. They did it because people with money and power of future moneys for UT called and threatened the loss of said money. The fans are what the pos media is blaming for the fiasco. They are simply painting us in the same light that they have for the last 50 years or so. We are ignorant, uneducated, bigots in their eyes and that will never change.

You know ... I think Florida State should go right the wrong perpetrated on Greg Schiano by Vol fans and hire him to replace Jimbo Fisher.

Obviously ridiculous -- just as ridiculous as Tennessee offering him the job.

The problem is not the fans. The reason we are being rejected is the boosters and admin control of who the coach
hires, money for assistants, etc. Tennessee is known for not giving coaches enough control.
