Maybe he was a part of the cover up but what is out there certainly didn't prove it enough for him to be investigated and I'm having a hard time seeing that it justified an internet mob takedown.
Like I said the whole Penn State affair disgusts me but mob takedowns like this make me really uncomfortable when the target isn't clearly guilty.

I think by now UT fans just didn’t want Schiano, or they were upset they couldn’t land a bigger name (like Kelly), so they used whatever excuse they could find to stick it to the administration. Schiano’s name was tainted before they tried to hire him, but let’s be honest, they would allow the school to hire Nick Saban if he had the same allegations surrounding him.

For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.
Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

I don't think Schiano is a great hire either way. Andy Staples:
https://www.si.com/college-football/...est-penn-state
We can argue about whether the majority of the Tennessee fans who revolted to the idea of the Volunteers’ since-squelched hiring of Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano really were incensed—as they claimed—because of Schiano’s alleged role in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. An accusation of a years-ago comment was never investigated and Schiano was never officially accused of any wrongdoing because he was accused by double hearsay. He also has denied it happened. We’ll unfortunately never know the truth in that matter. We also will never truly know if this is why Tennessee fans rose up Sunday or if they were angry for football reasons—because Schiano went 68–67 at Rutgers and got blown out by former Vols coach Butch Jones’s Cincinnati team near the end of his tenure there.
The bottom line is a vocal component of the Tennessee fan base did not want Schiano coaching at Tennessee. The customers did not want to buy the program Tennessee was prepared to sell them. So they spoke up with a voice they wouldn’t have had 10 years ago. In response, Tennessee’s administration did something it probably wouldn’t have done 10 years ago. It listened.
Another issue Sunday was what appeared to be an effort by some of the most influential voices in college football’s media corps to tell Tennessee fans to shut up and accept the hire. Whether this was because those people believe Schiano to be a great coach or because they want to stay on the good side of agent Jimmy Sexton is irrelevant. It came off as people in our business talking down to our customers who already had made their decision on the issue. We do that often. I’m just as guilty of this as anyone, and Sunday’s events should make all of us step back and consider listening to our customers a little more."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right?

Whittingham is not an idiot. He knows that if he takes a job at one of these places, he's going to be expected to win 10+ games a season and contend for a national title once every 3-4 years. At Utah, the fans are content with him getting to a bowl game and contending for the Pac-12 South once every 3-4 years. But like I said, he's not an idiot, so he going to use this as leverage to bilk the Utah taxpayers for more money and more years. He gets more $$$ and expectations remain lowish. Win-win for the Kwhitter.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Yeah, I hate mobs too. But does Schiano have some fundamental right to that job? These are consumers not happy with a product.

When he realizes he can make the same money for less work before retiring, he'll take that job and it will be his last."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
