State Representatives Voice Disapproval for Greg Schiano

Tennessee is reportedly closing in on a deal with Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano to become its next head coach.

But Schiano has a controversial past concerning Jerry Sandusky and Penn State. And multiple Tennessee state representatives took to Twitter on Sunday afternoon in order to voice their displeasure with the potential hire.

Representative Jimmy Matlock didn’t publicly condemn the move. But he did send out a tweet regarding the Vols’ search.

Matlock would later post this tweet about the coaching search:

Schiano’s checkered past off the field is a major question mark. And if he ends up not getting the Tennessee job, it may be because fan backlash like this created a loud uproar.

Time will tell whether or not these public pleas make a difference. But at the moment, it’s hard to find anyone with positive thoughts on this move.
