We’ve done it, we’ve found someone in Knoxville that fully supports the reports that Greg Schiano will become Tennessee’s next head coach, replacing the dismissed Butch Jones.
Starting quarterback Jarrett Guarantano has a history with Schiano, who is currently serving as Ohio State’s defensive coordinator, dating back to his days as a child in New Jersey. Schiano, back when he was the head coach at Rutgers, actually offered Guarantano a scholarship as a six-year-old boy.
It would appear Guarantano has never forgotten that offer and still has a picture dating back to his Schiano’s time at Rutgers.
Check out the picture tweeted out by the redshirt freshman QB from New Jersey Sunday afternoon:

While Tennessee fans may be in an uproar over the possibility of Schiano leading the program, the team’s future under center seems to be all on board with the decision.
