Tennessee football fans were wrong about Jon Gruden and dodged a bullet by him not being on campus. But they were dead right to kill the Greg Schiano hire, and they dodged another bullet by doing that.

Forget all of the stuff from Shicano’s past that already make him a questionable candidate. He is known for his defense, and his coaching has been a complete and utter disaster for the Ohio State Buckeyes in that regard.

For two straight years, Urban Meyer missed the College Football Playoff because of his team’s defense. This year, Ohio State ranked No. 67 in total defense. By the way, that was in the Big Ten, where football games are slowed down by the cold weather and half the teams run an antiquated offense.

Nonetheless, Schiano’s defense gave up 49 points in a loss to the Purdue Boilermakers and 51 points to the Maryland Terrapins, who don’t even have a quarterback that can throw. His coaching was embarrassing all season long, and if Vols fans were so wrong about Schiano, then people need to question why Ohio State hired Ryan Day and not him as Schiano’s replacement. Heck, Schiano could be fired from his current job before next year.
