I will gladly eat crow if he gets a top flight P5 job. I will also enjoy Tennesee's march to 6-6 campaigns.
Schiano on Tennessee short list
- Thread starter vkj91
- Start date
That would be really weird. I don't see him tolerating the fan base.
Hey all it takes is one, somewhat like selling a home. Just got to find that one. I didn't think Schiano should've ever sniffed an NFL job but it takes just one NFL owner with the recommendation of legend like Belichick and boom it can happen.
Same for this although I think this go around is more realistic in my mind than that ever would have been. He's been "blessed" by the Meyer touch now for 2 years and you'd like to think he's improved in that time so who knows. I think it pretty much depends on how he's evolved on offense. If he's evolved maybe he'll do okay but if not then I don't think he'll live up to Tenn expectations. That's not something we can know.
Think he'll be on a few short lists before season is over.
Can't say I see him as a top choice for what Tenn can afford, but think he'll find a College HC position for 2018 somewhere .

Source? I recall his name was floated (presumably by his agent) for a few openings in the past in which he wasn't a serious candidate. With Tennessee, I'll believe it when I see it as I don't think that is a good fit for either side.
This is what I found. Looks like contact with Gruden just as a formality to please boosters but with no real expectation that he wants the job. Then Mullen as plan B and then Schiano and a bunch of others like Norvell.

Worst case scenario for Rutgers[winking]
I think a Rutgers fan who knows a few people in Tennessee and asked them to plant the idea of Schiano "to Tennessee" just to piss of the anti-Greg faction on this board .[banana]:cool2:[laughing]
I think after Rutgers, after the NFL and after 2 years as Ohio State's DC, he's destined for a job at a P5 -- and I wouldn't be completely surprised if it's UCLA.
I always thought Schiano would be a better fit for a fan base that likes hard nose defense, discipline and run oriented , clock control offense, which to me says Nebraska. Of course, Nebraska is drooling over Scott Frost, who I think might get the Florida job.
Nebraska wants a modern offense. NU's next coach will be an offensive coach. If the new AD were to hire Schiano the NU fan base would probably have the AD fired that day. Not that he isn't a decent coach, they just want nothing to do with a control freak like him. To us NU folks he is Pelini without the temper tantrums on the field, with the media, and towards the fans. Not going to happen.
Don't dismiss P5.... but, I think any Pac12 w/b unlikely...and UCLA particularly so......
Schiano would be a good a fit at a lower level p5 school... ie Kansas, bc, ru, Illinois..
Well then target Mike Leach or Dana Holgersen.
I think his ego and sense of his place in the market would put any of those programs off his list. The impression he leaves is that he wants a perennial Top-20 team with money, facilities, potential fans and heritage.
A Schiano Man doesn't coach at Kansas when there's a job opening at UF.
I look for a mid major that lost it's HC ( UCF and USF if their HC moves up)
Or a P-5 that needs a defensive minded HC that has proven he can make a losing program a winner.
Or the meltdown of some on this board when they go to the SEC championship game.
No doubt he prefers the west coast but I'm sure he knew that job was probably opening.
It seems he and Florida are pretty close at this point. Lot of people seem Taggert is going to leave Oregon for the SEC. Maybe he just goes back to Oregon. Lol
I don't know how he'd feel about it. I would have to think their fan-base would totally hate the idea (which is not intended as a knock in Schiano).
kind of like the meltdown here the last two weeks after six total points?
True. But instead of the meltdown on one message board...it would be everywhere.
I wouldn't say never. If he hired a seriously good offensive coordinator and left him alone to run the O, it could happen. Schiano's a good enough D coord. He's a good details and organizational guy. He just needs to have really good people and let them do their jobs.
Only thing that's kind of unknown is how well he could recruit for them, against the other SEC schools. I'm a little skeptical.
In any event, if he did get the job, and he did when the SEC championship, I'd be very happy for him. Both things seem unlikely to me. But I wish him nothing but luck as long as he's not competing with us.
Unless approx half dozen candidates turn down the Tenn job, Schiano will NOT get this opportunity.
Tennessee needs someone with SEC ties to run the program - not Butch Jones Part Deux.

SEC ties? What does that mean? Tenn didn’t have any issues with recruiting.
I wish “Keep Chopping” remained a Rutgers thing. Not a Schiano/Flood thing.
Schiano will get a good P5 job and I predict he'll do very well. Anyone who's read his post Tampa Bay interviews knows that that experience has humbled him quite a bit and that it seems he's very prepared to delegate more than he did in the past, whicb should mean he'd have no issue hiring a top OC and letting that person run the offense. We know he can recruit and do all the organizational things well and, of course, we know he can coach the crap out of the defense and special teams. Still wish we had hired him back...
