Well...tennessee is open again
- Thread starter BigHawk
- Start date
Tennessee backed out of it. It will be interesting to read this "memorandum of understanding" which was signed by both parties as far as UT will owe him any money out of it.
This is a dumpster fire of epic proportions. The AD will lose his job, they may have to write a check to Schiano, and they will be a laughingstock as a result.
Matt Campbell come on down!
Seriously though, no one will want to coach there for the $$ they will be paying.

What an absolute grease fire my god I was in disbelief when they announced the hire somebody is in deep shit what a pr disaster
Knoxville news is reporting that they'll owe Schiano $20 mil for buyout.
That would be hilarious if it happened but I bet they'll negotiate it down. They'll owe him something.
The Tennessee fanbase is exactly who we thought they were...
Not if Schiano and/or his lawyer thinks this could cost him a future big time head coaching job, if so you go after the $20,000,000 or whatever was guaranteed in the initial signed agreement.

Please let this be true. It's exactly what should happen when you kow to the idiots of the world. Set the program back another decade which is outstanding.
FWIW:
"A memorandum of understanding (MoU) is an agreement between two (bilateral) or more (multilateral) parties. It expresses a convergence of will between the parties, indicating an intended common line of action. It is often used in cases where parties either do not imply a legal commitment or in situations where the parties cannot create a legally enforceable agreement. It is a more formal alternative to a gentlemen's agreement.
Whether a document constitutes a binding contract depends only on the presence or absence of well-defined legal elements in the text proper of the document (the so-called "four corners"). The required elements are: offer and acceptance, consideration, and the intention to be legally bound (animus contrahendi). In the U.S., the specifics can differ slightly depending on whether the contract is for goods (falls under the Uniform Commercial Code [UCC]) or services (falls under the common law of the state)"..
We already know it was signed by both parties. Which constitutes offer and acceptance, where both parties are offering consideration (ie Schiano's coaching services for UT's cash), and intending for the signed doc to be legally binding.
I hope UT does indeed owe Schiano $20 mil, if for no other reason than caving to a bunch of self-righteous millenials who rushed to judgement via social media. Schiano has a reputation for being a jerk, but there is zero evidence he covered up anything at Ped State.
Where is Jeff Brohm in these coaching searches. The guy is a great coach
I don't think there's a candidate in all of sports that can live up to Tennessee's unbelievably high ethical standards....
In a lawsuit filing, player alleges Butch Jones called him a 'traitor' for helping a rape victim

Wait, Oh St fans have no problem with this guy representing their school?
I'm sure candidates will be lining up knowing they were the second choice and if the Tennessee fan base gets mad on Twitter for a few hours you lose your job.
The real question is, did Schiano really cover up child rape at Penn State?
The answer: Only Schiano and maybe Sandusky know for sure, but that allegation has most certainly not been proven, no matter what the clickbait headlines of the Internet claim. To make such a definitive statement is flat-out false at this point and a terrifying, lynch-mob reach against a possibly innocent person’s reputation.

Dan Wetzel investigated Ped State and claims there is zero proof of Schiano knowing, he left there in 1995, fifteen years before the scandal came to light:
Basically in McQuerys deposition he said that Tom Bradley heard a story similar to McQuery’s from Greg Schiano. Bradley and Schiano deny it. That’s it.
I look at this as Tennessee fans being p*ssed off they hired an underaccomplished, jerk-wad retread coach, and they used a loose association with the Sandusky scandal to fuel their anger and become their battle cry. True mob mentality and court of public opinion.
I can't believe the people in charge of making the hire didn't have enough internal field research to see that it wasn't going to go over well. Personally, I think the whole situation is funny as sh*t, mainly because it involves a school and a coach that I don't particularly care for.

Agreed. When everyone was talking about the PJ Fleck hire last year, the Brohm hire went undiscussed by most. He had a great first year, and had huge offensive success at WKU. It was kind of surprising that Purdue won more with defense this year.
15 years before the scandal broke publicly, but the allegations go back to the 70s. I would say a coach getting away with that for that long is indicative of institutional acquiescence. He and the other coaches knew. They just put their heads in the sand to avoid responsibility. Not that type of character I'd want in a coach.
Yeah, but the Teen fans that were pissed weren't just average Joes. Two congressional representatives from the state Tweeted that Schiano would be an embarrassment to the state of Tennessee. You know things are bad when Tennessee has problems with a coach's character.
I've read these Tennessee threads filled with wondering about "Who will go there now?" The other question is "Who would ever hire Greg Schiano now?" His name has turned to total shit and if there are other Penn State coaches out there associated with Penn State's past they might want to put together a quick plan B for life after coaching. This is going to happen again if Schiano is considered for another job. I sure as hell wouldn't consider him as a candidate for any job at Iowa. We don't need that crap here. I'm disappointed in Ferentz's onfield performance, but at least the man has character. (*hoping like hell he has no skeletons like Schiano's in his closet*)
used to do MOU's and never thought they were legally binding.
More along the line, "lets put a contract together and this is the substance of what it will say say." The MOU's I did were rough outlines of what each party expected. After the MOU each side had to sit down and hammer out the details that would make the MOU items contractual. Sometimes they fell through when

I have no idea about Schiano's involvement, but PSU deserved the "death" penalty.
