The fans got what they wanted

[Flipdaddy]

Yes...we got what we wanted. Now If they don’t make another dumb hire, we be happy. Had t been happy in a while. Happy is good. Happy brings money.

since they are the reason Schiano wasn't hired, which led to Pruitt.

Not a fit then and would never be one in Knoxville. Talk to folks about his stint at Tampa Bay. Connecting that to the poor choice of Pruitt is ludicrous.

I don't remember getting an invite to the " let's hire Jeremy Pruitt" meeting. Last I checked, that hire falls squarely on this guy's shoulders:

 

[VOL-TIL-I-DIE]

Too bad that many don't care about their Country....

I’ll agree with you on that one.

 

[Firebirdparts]

Well, to be fair, they’re 12 years into what they wanted. They didn’t just hate one guy.

 

[Spawn]

since they are the reason Schiano wasn't hired, which led to Pruitt.

He would have been garbage. That's 3 year old news.

I'm on to the next episode.

 

[VaBornVol]

Wasn’t Schiano on the Ohio State staff that knew about the domestic abuse situation, and did nothing?

 

[The_411]

Because there are only two coaches in the world.

while true it does raise the question how these were the two were at that point the most viable options.

Edit: damn auto correct.

 

[nlovu]

Fans aren't the reason he didn't get hired and a guy who looks away from child rape should never be an option

Knowing what I know now, I still wouldn't want Schiano. Good lawd with that...

Remember that when the sanctions are announced.

Dumb

 

[tastycar]

Remember that when the sanctions are announced.

I will. My stance won't change. I can PROMISE you that.

 

[ATLVols]

We still dodged an awful hire and made the right decision to move away from SchiaNO.

 

[utvolpj]

Remember that when the sanctions are announced.

Why would football sanctions change my mind about something like that?

 

[nlovu]

Oh stfu. Fans didn’t want someone who even had the possibility of witnessing and covering up child rape. Schiano never never should have been offered the job period end of story. The fact that Currie didn’t know this was in his past was mind boggling.

That was an excuse. Schiano had no part in it. That's why he is presently a HC.

 

[Birddog3314]

You a sheep herder lol ?

Its simple do you wanna win.sick of schiano sunday ***** over been over do you wanna win?hire freeze we win pretty simple

[spyfish007]

I find it interesting so many people are trying to do an "I told you so" on something that is impossible to prove. Just get out already.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Schiano makes Pruitt look like an awesome human being.

100% One breaks amateurism standards. The other was turned a blind eye to child endangerment. Not in the same class.

 

[unfrozencvmanvol]

I'm glad we didn't get Schiano but that supposed Penn State connection is BS. It was triple hearsay. I don't remember who all was involved but basically that McCreary guy said that Coach B told him that Coach C heard from Coach D that Schiano knew about Sandusky's issues and coach B, C and D and Schiano all denied it. McCreary had no first hand knowledge. I wouldn't want anyone on this board to be smeared by that kind of 4th hand gossip on such a heinous charge.

I'm not arguing that Schiano would have been a great hire. The point is that some here were part of the charge that torpedoed Schiano and are complaining about the current state of affairs.

 

[BeardedVol]

So you are postulating that Jeremy Pruitt was the only option other then Schiano? That really the argument that you want to go with?

 

[VolArmy74]

I was happy we had hired Leach until Phil got involved and ended that.

 

[volroadwarrior]

Finebaum is a puking joke. Too bad he has such a big forum.

 

[DaddyChad]

You can think what you want but that’s not an excuse it’s the reason he wasn’t hired period. If that wasn’t in Schiano’s past the fans would’ve accepted him even if they didn’t like it. No way in hell they’re accepting a coach with that in his past.

Finebaum plays to his audience. Jerry Springer show of the SEC.
