Tennessee and Greg Schiano

We shouldn't go there, even jokingly. There are enough social justice Nazis out there looking for any excuse to get rid of people on the wrong end of the intersectionality graph. There's already nutcases from TN looking to have Schiano fired from OSU for....?
And even though, we're not playing in the game, there will still be plenty of commentary about Penn State. Sweet!
Nope. First should be Mike McQueary.
But the people who lost to Vandy 2 years in a row, the team who didn't win a single conference game this year, and won only 2 of their last 14 conference games, no they're not sore losers at all.
I like the report that says that Tee Martin "has a legit shot" at the UT coaching job....like its some prize and they don't need him way more than he needs them
So what you're saying is if you hear something bad about a person you don't like or agree with politically, you automatically believe it must be true, and will do all kinds of spinning and twisting to make it fit.So each person is only allowed 1 facebook account, and if they have one, then we know anything else with their name on it is fake, not them, and not approved by them?
If those are the rules, this guy needs to know right away. https://www.facebook.com/LarrySchultz4PSU/
Otherwise, how does the fact that there is more than one account prove the one where she slandered Schiano is fake?
Sounds exactly like the Rocky Top crowd.
There was a time when public spokespersons did not lie about inaugural crowd sizes, too. That time is over. We're through the looking glass, Skippy.
No. I need some proof that anything that appears to be her isn't her. The words of one of her bosses supporters are not proof. "No sane spokesperson would do that " is not proof, either.
You can take what they say on faith. I don't.
think about that. if you are making LANE KIFFIN look not so shady, LOL . . . the place is a mess
No kidding. Lane Kiffen, a sympathetic figure. Who would've thunk it?
As time goes by I just keep developing more and more and more respect for Urban Meyer.
On page 4 of this thread he opined:
If schiano reported the incident he walked in on even just to joe the ‘01 or I guess it is now the ‘00 incident probably never happens.
Hilarious that schiano gets a free pass only because him lying supposedly helped joe.
No matter what the 15 or so lunatics here will always think Jerry is innocent just so they can feel better about joe
Then he and francofan exchanged pleasantries followed by PeetzPoolBoy sending his unconditional love to towny87.1.
I said this when the story about Schiano/Bradley first broke. If Schiano had seen Jerry abusing a kid, Jerry would, from then on, be taking his meals through a straw, in a wheelchair. I wonder how a certain member of the McQueary family can explain why he isn't.
And here we go. Per footballscoop.
Tennessee: UT chancellor Beverly Davenport did not sign Greg Schiano’s memorandum of understanding, according to a report from ESPN’s Chris Low. Still, lawyers for both sides are expected to argue whether Schiano is owed compensation for the Vols’ breaking of the MOU on Sunday.

Anything that drags this into court would be good for us.
Wonder if Towny can tell us when Mike was told of this Schiano incident.
Yeah, he can probably get Mike to nail it down to within three years or so.
At some point, you would think that somebody in the media would begin to question McQueary.
Absurd! That requires effort and critical thinking
Well, it makes no sense to me to create a separate profile-- with your own name-- to make a nasty post. It's less trouble to just make the comment on your regular profile if you really want to.
And next step, making another profile so you can be a troll and argue that it's a fake profile later on doesn't wash either. Besides, she's been arguing the entire weekend with a bunch of democratic pundits over whether she actually baked the pie she posted a photo of on social media.
According to the "court documents" Moses brought down from Mt. Sinai, Mike testified Bradley told him this in either "2005 or 2006, or thereabouts." So it's narrowed down to a year the Chicago Cubs didn't win the World Series.
Except the Penn State BOT would likely "volunteer" to settle on behalf of UT, in order to keep things out of court.
Now some UT fans want to kiss and make up with him. Believe that he would take the job.

But did she verbally agree to it or did Currie say that she did or would? Those would be interesting questions especially if they had a plane ready to transport Schiano back to TN for a scheduled press conference.
Meyer's got a ways to go in my book, but he came up considerably in my estimation for standing solidly behind Greg Schiano.
The UT Chancellor apparently did not sign the MOU but the UT Athletic Director (Currie) apparently did sign it. Not sure what other signatures or assurances UT gave Schiano. I think Schiano has a pretty good case regardless.. IMO, the damage he has sustained to his reputation goes well beyond the damage he has incurred from UT withdrawing its offer. That defamation claim presumably applies whether or not UT was contractually obligated to Schiano.
In what world would an AD draw up a MOU and sign it without the blessing of the Chancellor? My guess would be none. So whether she signed it or not, she must have agreed to it. According to reports, a press conference announcing Schiano was set. Wouldn't happen without blessing from the Chancellor. I'm not a lawyer, but sounds like a slam dunk case for Schiano.
There's are several; legal issues to unpack with respect to this situation. Since Schiano's employment contract apparently has a term that exceeds one year, it is probably subject to the State of Tennessee's "statute of frauds," which is a law that requires certain kinds of contracts (including contracts that are for a period in excess of one year) to be in writing and signed "by the party to be charged" in order to be enforceable. The party to be charged is the authorized signatory for UT. Query whether that must be the Chancellor, or whether it could be the Athletic Director alone. In any case, verbal assurances or commitments would probably be unenforceable due to the statute of frauds.
Schiano would presumably assert, at minimum, legal claims for breach of contract (his employment contract), and defamation of character. The latter claim would not depend on the existence of an enforceable contract. The statement that Currie came out with, about having done considerable due diligence and finding no issues whatsoever with Schiano's character or background, was clearly intended to rebut any inference that UT defamed Schiano. But they still did not hire him, and arguably did so because of his history at PSU. That may present some difficult issues of proof for Schiano.
I get your point, but Meyer could have been upset at Schiano for looking to move, and supported him much less enthusiastically than he has.
This is a nice summary. Schiano would be wise to pursue action, regardless of how difficult the burden is. Tenn will settle to spin down all the negative media attention. They have to be in a bad place with regard to potential hires for head coach. They were beggars before all of this negative media attention. Now they are toxic because the fans can run a coach off. Their price just went way up for a decent coach to even think about joining that trainwreck.
