Tennessee shifting focus to Chad Morris now.  Unbelievable how they have handled it, amazing how public it has been as well.

Thank God they fired their coach mid-season to get a jump on everyone...lol

So, does Tennessee owe him anything? Buyout?

Sorry I'm a bit out of the loop but what has  Schiano done that makes him "Creepy" even at his current job? 

I was coach at Penn St. during Sandusky.  Allegedly knew, didn't say anything.

No way does the Tennessee/Schiano deal get finalized. Currie (their Eichorst-esque AD) will likely get canned, and they'll try to follow the Nebraska blueprint.

I think you are correct.  The "fire Schiano" thread at volnation is several pages long.

I saw that posted at volnation. I think it was an insult, not a point of fact.

I may be wrong.  If its true, can you imagine an athletic director hiring a head football coach that has to register as a sex offender.  Eichorst may not be the worst AD ever.

Wow.

 

I actually read that Schiano has to register as a sex offender in the state of Tennessee if he takes the job. but I don't know if that's true.

If Taggert goes to Florida; wouldn't Oregon make a push for Frost?

Whenever I think of looking for someone with ''ties to the program'' it's more because they might have more of an interest in actually coming here.  Sometimes wish we had a History with Urban Meyer or Nicky Saban..We never came close to paying Osborne what he could've gotten elsewhere..But he stayed probably because of our ties..  

 

 

 

 

 

This, and more importantly, would have an interest in staying here.

I wonder if she says that to daddy. 

 

 

Didn't Trump brag about owning the Miss Teen USA pageant and being able to walk into the dressing room while the girls didn't have their tops on and how wonderful it was?

If I recall correctly, Lewinksy allegedly initiated the "relationship" by pulling down the top of her pants to show off her thong and at the time she wasn't really seen as the victim.  The reason Clinton was impeached was not the action with Lewinsky but because he lied about it under oath while testifying about a sexual harassment suit filed by Paula Jones for something that occurred while Clinton was governor of Arkansas. Also, if I recall correctly, during that time, Juanita Broderick and Kathleen Wiley made sexual assault allegations against Clinton.  All of this came to light during a Special Prosecutor investigation of the Clinton's actions during a land deal in Arkansas.

This is the kind of throw-away tribalist comment we don't need in American politics today.  There's no proof, there's no way to object to it, it's just the same as saying, "I'm Republican/Conservative and I hate seeing my team bashed." 

 

I disagree with you on a lot of our political views but I'm pretty confident in saying that you are better than this. Please rethink this comment. I can disagree with you while respecting your opinion. This is not a respectable stance.

  I only meant to point out that when the accusations went the other way, the same arguments were being used, people just switched sides as to whom they believed.  Not to defend Hannity, but to show he's no better now than the other side was then.  And not to defend the other side, as they were not better then, than Hannity is now.

Bill Clinton isn't even the only former President (either party) whose past may need a more careful revisiting now. It gives me zero joy to say this -- this isn't the first time in the past few weeks HW has been brought up. He has had probably one of the more stately, sterling reputations in all of politics in the past few decades with respect from both sides of the aisle. I really don't know what to say here. :/ 

 

There's going to be a lot of stuff that is going to come out about a lot of people, many of whom we have respected. It will complicate their story a lot, and we're going to have to reckon with it.

Yep, and as a father with a 16 year old daughter, if it means less inappropriate touching, I'm all for it.

Certainly if they are indicted or convicted. Otherwise I think it's a gray area where the voters/party have to make the decision. If an accuser has solid evidence or a whole bunch of accusers come forth and seem credible, then I'd lean towards forcing resignation.

That makes sense to me.  With the Roy Moore accusations, the accusers just seem credible to me.  At least until Gloria Allred showed up.

So, big picture, when should allegations be enough to force someone to drop out of a race; or resign office if already elected?

To me, these allegations against Moore just "feel true."   But I sure wouldn't like that standard used against me if I were accused of something like this.

I thought this was going to be a joke like "Why couldn't Langsdorf get into his house last night?"

Someone painted an endzone in front of the door.

Then what are you doing?  BRB brought of Hannity in the context of he would be all over democrats, and you specifically said he did.

I'm showing that he is just as sleazy as the democrats who attacked the woman that Bill Clinton allegedly assaulted.  That is not defending him.

Sorry, I didn't realize Sean Hannity took a strong position on Bill Clinton in the late 90's when his audience was 50,000 people...

I'm not sure your reply makes any sense in the context of my quote.  I am not defending Sean Hannity

12 minutes ago, funhusker said:

I can see what you are getting at.  But people were defending Hillary, not Bill.  I've yet to come across an article about how awful Moore's wife must be since she hasn't filed for divorce after these allegations came out.

I was talking about when these allegations came out during Bill Clinton's Presidency and James Carville going on talk show's totally trashing his accusers saying  things like "you never know what you'll get when you wave a $50 bill around a trailer court."

1 minute ago, RedDenver said:

This is pure whataboutism. What Hannity and others are doing is wrong, regardless of what others would or have done.

Not my intent to be whataboutism.  I wasn't trying to defend Hannity's actions now, I was trying to point out that he's as sleezy now as the Clinton supporters were then.

GBR,

 

I haven't posted in this yet because I’m on my phone and I wanted to take time with my response. 

 

I was a life long republican till a few years ago when the party left me to become a party of looniness. 

 

The reason why I personally post way more about trump and the republicans in here is because it totally disgusts me what they have become. 

 

Here is a prime example. 

 

Trump rants on and on about the fake media. In doing so, he supports Fox News that employs people like Hannity. 

 

Hannity’s disgusting reaction to the Moore accusations, caused companies like Keurig to pull their adds. 

 

Republican voters actially are going on the internet posting videos of them smashing their Keurig. 

 

Now, how in the hell can a party like that claim to have any form of moral superiority like they claim?  

 

Those same people (including Hannity) would jump all over this if this were a democrat being accused. 

 

I can not stand by and allow those actions of a party to be normalized. 

 

I really wish we were actually talking about  policies and what extent of socialism should be acceptable in America. But, instead, we are stuck discussing a completely inept and incompetent president. 

And he did when Kathleen Wiley, Juanita Broderick et al. brought up their sexual assault allegations against Bill Clinton.  And of course, most of those now attacking Roy Moore defended Bill Clinton to the max.  The hypocrisy is the same on both sides, people have just switched arguments.

I'm not sure.  Streaks are made to be broken and what this program has become-win at all cost, make really terrible decisions, fire the decision makers, start the whole thing over again-is not a program I admire.  The sellout streak is like a noose and maybe its time to let it go.  

Since when is firing people who are not getting the job done trying to win at all costs? To me, win at all cost programs are those to break rules to win.

That makes sense. Riley does seem like a genuinely nice guy from everything I’ve seen of him. I was just surprised you didn’t get a bigger name coach. But then again, I was surprised that we couldn’t do better than Jones or Dooley. In my opinion (and trying to take any bias out of it), I feel like Tennessee and Nebraska are fairly even jobs at this point in time. I know you guys have more historical success than us, but I’m just talking about the attractiveness of the jobs at the present time. 

I would agree.

So you mean just in the sense that Pellini was a hot head, and Riley was seen as a calmer, more easy going guy?

Probably a little understated, but in general, yes.  A better way to say it is probably that the former AD and Pelini did not have a good working relationship and the AD felt that Pelini was a poor representative of the University.  Many people in the Husker fan base agreed with the firing of Pelini, but really questioned both the process that led to the hiring of Riley, and the hire itself.  Three years later, close to no one questioned the firing of the AD nor the will anyone question the firing of Riley. I should add, most people here respect and like Riley and are genuinely disappointed it didn't work out.

As a Tennessee fan who has tons of respect for Nebraska, I definitely wish you guys the best. A lot of our fans are wanting us to go after Frost, this but logic tells you that you guys obviously have a much better chance at him than we do. I didn’t follow your last coaching search very closely, but I was really surprised when I read the other day that Riley was your AD’s number 1 pick. I always assumed he was about your 5th or 6th choice, like Butch was for us. I know you have a different AD now, but do you know why he zeroed in on Riley? It always seemed like kind of a surprising hire to me, mainly given the fact that he was almost retirement age, so I was just curious. Sorry if this has already been discussed on here a ton.

I think the consensus is our former AD hired Riley because he was the opposite personality of the previous coach; and assumed winning 9 games a year was easier than it actually was.
