CFB: Dan Mullen to Florida, Greg Schiano to the Vols
 

Wow.

I saw the Mullen hire coming but i am really surprised about Schiano. I would’ve thought the Vols woulda gone after Mike Norvell, the current Memphis HC (thank god they didnt because i do not wanna dislike Norvell).

Just thought it was interesting. Any other SEC fans in here? Haha

Very surprised to see the Schiano hire.

Schiano is very Butch Jones-like

And don't forget, he was tied in with that Penn State garbage.
Apparently he knew of the issues with Sandusky and did/said nothing

I'm surprised that in light of this he is getting an HC job. Then again, it is Tennessee.

Exactly.

Reports lots of protest on campus and that politicans are trying to get school to resind the offer.

Throwing a fit because they can’t get a better coach is hilarious

As a UGA fan, this is awesome.

The bigger Hire is Chip Kelly to Ucla

Looks like he is a candidate along with Clemson DC Brent Venables for the Arkansas job..

RTR - Auburn still sucks!

Who do UT fans think they can land? That program has been a dumpster fire for 20 years. The only saving grace for them is that they play in the East.

Neither hire is overly impressive to me, although of the two the Florida hire makes a lot of sense.

I'm just glad Chip Kelly went out west.

I think the Florida hire is what the program needed. He's someone who runs the football program; he's not just an x's and o's guy. I especially like the immediate endorsements from former players, like Tebow and I loved what Dallas Baker said.

Anyone else remember Dallas Baker, the touchdown maker?

:D

I remember Aaron Hernandez and Riley Cooper mainly, after Tebow of course

Schiano is a fantastic college coach

I don’t know enough about Penn State to comment on that. Obviously an issue it appears.

Yeah, I'm not really understanding the hate for Schiano. Is it coming from his Bucs time? He turned Rutgers around, and got them to a very good, but not great, level. Put a bunch of players in the pros.

I can't stand UT but I'm shocked that they hired a POS like this! How can this SOB POS even find a job after the Penn State scandal? This is truly sickening!

It’s Sandusky related. I need to read more. He knew something it appears.

Because I’d hire him in a second to be my college coach in a vacuum

Rescinded offer to schiano

How much of it, though? The PSU stuff is absolutely inexcusable if he knew, but I feel like a lot of it is just thinking he's not a quality coach.

now he will NOT be coaching... Nice move!

Wow! I guess the fans will get what they want?

If Brent Venables is the new HC of Arkansas I might need a cigarette afterwards.

I liked Bielema enough, but he never seemed to have enough cache to make the demands he did.

The earliest complaints from Vols on message boards and twitter was him as a coach, it then went into the PSU where there was basically no evidence that he knew.

Vols hated the hire and grasped straws.

Hahaha Tennessee
