It seems like national media will do everything they can to stop Tennessee football from ever making a good hire. They got mad at Vols fans last year for rejecting a mediocre head coaching hire in Greg Schiano and defended Schiano against sworn testimony by Mike McQueary that he had witnessed something related to the Jerry Sandusky scandal with the Penn State Nittany Lions.
Now, the Vols are looking for a new offensive coordinator. It started with Hugh Freeze, and the baggage behind him appears to have resulted in a move by powerful people at UT to block the hire.
