Congrats to Schiano on leaving Knoxville without a losing record. Rarity.

I don't know. Come on lawyers. An agreement less than 24 hours old. Can't that be broken under Tennessee law?

UT moves on from GS
Horrible look for TN. Embarrassing ass coaching search. Couldn’t happen to a more insanely deserving fan base. They’re going to end up with an awful hire.

Norvell is a sharp guy. I don't think he would touch UT with a 10 foot pole. It would really take someone who is desperate to take that job or someone who is going to be paid an insane amount of money.
I doubt their AD survives this. I think there is a good chance they come after Bowen AND Norvell.
If they had any sense, they would fire Currie tonight and hire Tom Jurich and Bobby Petrino tomorrow. Those are 2 sleazy dudes but they would win in football and that is all they care about at the end of the day.

If they haven't come after Norvell previously, they may have to now.

RE: UT moves on from GS
Yes, he would be able to sue for damages...although not a significant amount.
Tennessee law would apply, although with the reach of college football it is possible Schiano could try a different venue.

Wolken not a fan of UT's work today:
Dan Wolken Verified account @DanWolken 2h2 hours ago
Coaching candidate to Tennessee: “So will you have my back during this rebuild when the online community gets after me?” Tennessee: “Well, about that…"
and . . .
Story going up shortly on @usatodaysports about Tennessee and Greg Schiano going their separate ways. A truly unprecedented event in college athletics history.
and . . .
I think we should all be concerned about what happened here. It’s scary. A false narrative was spread on social media based on misinformation that torpedoed a man’s chances of getting a job.

Sounds like politics as usual.

RE: UT moves on from GS
Just for historical clarity ...
1. Bruce Pearl - OK morally
2. Manning sexual harassment of female teacher - OK morally
3. Guy never convicted of anything or even seriously connected to other's wrongdoing - Moral outrage and run out of town on a rail
Check.

It was never about his connection to Sandusky. People just weren’t happy with the hire. It’s been a coaching graveyard for some time now. It’s hard to find a top tier coach that wants to go there...

Once you are part of the program, all is forgiven. Until then, cast stones like they don't live in a glass house!!

Absolutely. Sorry if that didn't come through in the post. Just something for them to lock-on to because it wasn't a name they wanted.

And it's not going to get any better. Fullmer, fired (wow, what UT wouldn't give to have Fullmer in his prime now), Kiffin bolted, Dooley, fired, Jones, fired.

Darren Rovell Verified account @darrenrovell
Another factor in whether Schiano would get money from Tennessee is if the memorandum of understanding was actually signed and executed.

Replying to @darrenrovell
Yes, coach MOUs/LOIs often contain binding material terms. Sometimes never even gets to a long-form.

RE: UT moves on from GS
How long did Tubby coach here just on a MOU ? They are materially binding in many if not most cases.
