The University of Tennessee has reportedly decided against hiring Greg Schiano as its next football coach after it was reportedly met with a number of protests regarding the Ohio State defensive coordinator.
Brent Hubbs, Austin Price, Jesse Simonton and Rob Lewis of VolQuest.com reported the news after a Sunday report from ESPN.com noted the school was "deluged with protests" over the potential move, "with people citing his alleged connection to the Jerry Sandusky era at Penn State."
Schiano has been the defensive coordinator at Ohio State for the last two seasons and served as the head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Rutgers earlier in his career.
