Greg Schiano not ready to speak out about Tennessee situation: 'When I do, it will be good'
Remember that time Tennessee “hired” Greg Schiano to be its next head football coach and then changed its mind before he got on the plane to Knoxville?
Schiano has finally spoken up — sort of — about the situation. Or, at least, he acknowledged it.
“There will be a time,” Schiano said on Wednesday, according to an Associated Press report. “I really think there will be a time that it will be appropriate for me to speak about all of that.
“When I do, it will be good.”

That last line is pretty interesting. It suggests that Schiano has plenty to say about the total fiasco that was Tennessee’s coaching search.
Perhaps Schiano may have some words for former UT athletic director John Currie — and maybe — for the thousands of Volunteers fans who bemoaned his hiring alongside a few dozen more who actually protested it.
For now, the Ohio State defensive coordinator will continue to prep his defense for Friday’s Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
The No. 5 Buckeyes take on No. 8 USC at 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
If it doesn’t start off with a bit on choices and consequences, then it won’t be good enough.
Greg Schiano doesn’t want to talk about something? Never thought I’d see the day.
Nobody is making the case that Schiano would have been a better coach for Tennessee than Pruitt.
Nobody.
I would say about the same
All those other schools are lined up to hire him though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No one was lining up for Pruitt either and we still got him.
We really don’t want to hear from him……about anything.
I really think there will be a time that it will be appropriate for Vol Twitter to eviscerate Greg Schiano’s comments on Tennessee when he speaks about all of that.
When they do, it will be good. . .
I have a little sympathy for Schiano, but he should NEVER have even been talking about the head job at UT, thanks to that idiot Currie. Stupid, all the way around.
When he does it will be from the shower stall at PSU with his buddy Joe P…
It’s funny watching Vols fans judge a man without knowing the facts. They think they know more about football than Peyton Mannng and more about the Sandusky situation than the FBI. It’s that ignorance that gets UT voted the worst fan base in the country over and over.
For the record, I think Pruitt is a much better hire.
Haha dude you are bumping for Greg Schiano ? The guy who instructed his entire defensive line to dive at peoples legs and all of his players hated playing for him? And it wasn’t just fans that didn’t want him no one wanted him only one booster wanted him and his puppet Currie.
