@flabuck UT didn't want an individual who has been accused by an individual who was under oath of not reporting child sexual abuse. UT didn't want an individual who was voted as the least desirable coach to work for by NFL players. UTdidn't want a person who mistreated multiple employees while working for Tampa Bay. UT didn't want an individual who claims he never did what he was accused of, but yet has never sued McQuary for slander.
Bottom line is that there is much evidence that he's a horrible person, and that doesn't even include the issues relating to possibly not reporting the child sex abuse.
Before you criticize the fans of our proud university, you had better look at your own cast of characters and their many faults. Like your football coach, who had 30+ players arrested at Florida in a 2 year span. Like your AD, who narrowly avoided a show cause penalty during the chaos and deceit that was the last few years of the Jim Tressell era. Gene Smith, who has covered and minimized rulebreaking before, is the last person that I would listen to when it comes to moral and ethical issues in sports.
The difference between the osu and Tennessee is that the fans here realize that there is more to winning than overlooking ethics and morality. It is a sad state of our country when fans get criticized for standing up against a crappy man like Schiano, who was a crappy man even without the allegations of not reporting sexual abuse. And, BTW, do you REALLY think that he spent 5 years of his life working with Sandusky at PSU and didn't know what was going on, when there were rumors for years and years regarding Sandusky's behavior? Get real.
I've never been more proud of a fanbase that what I am of UT fans today. This was a far bigger issue that what is being reported by the national media. It's time that there is accountability for leaders of athletic programs, who get millions of taxpayers dollars from you and me.
Oh, and the other aspect of all of this that gets no reporting by the national media. Who pushed and pushed for Schiano to be hired? None other than our great owner of the Browns, Jimmy Haslam. After all that Jimmy has destroyed with the Browns, do you really think that he and his recommendations should be listened to? H*LL NO! People in Knoxville will not be happy until integrity is restored to UT,the President, Chancellor and Currie are fired, and Jimmy Haslam is brought down a few pegs and learns to make good business decisions related to sports..
You laid it out pretty much exactly as I think it happened. Currie was running a shell game. We are fortunate that the whistle was blown in time for Vol Nation to kill the Schiano travesty.
