Peyton Manning was on board with Greg Schiano to Tennessee: Kirk Herbstreit to ESPN

If you thought Peyton Manning was harboring a grudge toward Greg Schiano, Kirk Herbstreit says he has first-hand information that you are wrong.

Manning -- who is Tennessee royalty -- was on board and excited with Tennessee's plan to hire Schiano before the fan base transformed into a social media mob that caused the school to scrap its plans, according to one of the leading insiders in college football.

Herbstreit is a former quarterback at Ohio State, where Schiano is the defensive coordinator. Manning starred for Tennessee before his Hall of Fame career.
