Ohio State Coach Greg Schiano Should Be Fired Following Penn State Allegations
Greg Schiano – a Penn State assistant coach from 1990-95 – reportedly witnessed Jerry Sandusky “doing something to a boy in the shower”. He no longer deserves to keep his job at Ohio State.
These days, it seems like we’re forced to play a game of who didn’t know rather than who did when it comes to the heinous, unforgivable acts committed by former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky.
In case you’ve somehow forgotten, the longtime defensive coordinator for the Nittany Lions was convicted on 45 counts of child sexual abuse and sentenced to at least 30 years in prison back in 2012.
Fast forward a few years and it now appears that not only were head coach Joe Paterno and assistant coach Mike McQueary aware of what Sandusky was doing, but others as well.
According to unsealed records, former Penn State coaches Greg Schiano (1990-95) and Tom Bradley (1979-2011) both knew about the child sexual abuse that was going on.
Bradley was apparently confronted by Schiano and another individual in regards to Sandusky, Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports reports.
“According to the court documents, Bradley, now the coordinator at UCLA, told McQueary that ‘another assistant coach had come to him in the early ’90s about a very similar situation’ as had another individual ‘as far back as the early ‘80s about seeing (Sandusky) doing something with a boy.’”
It was McQueary that testified stating that the assistant coach Bradley was referring to was indeed Schiano.
“I can’t remember if it was one night or one morning,” McQueary testified, “but that Greg had come into (Bradley’s) office white as a ghost and said he just saw (Sandusky) doing something to a boy in the shower.”
Bradley and Schiano have adamantly denied these claims, the latter doing so very bluntly via Twitter.
And if you have ties to Penn State, you also probably believe they’re ridiculous, unfounded accusations.
To be quite frank, though, it’s incredibly unlikely – considering how reliable McQueary has been – that both coaches were so ignorant of what Sandusky had been doing. More importantly, why implicate two former colleagues for no reason?
It’s a disgusting display by Bradley and Schiano of what being a coward is all about.
Especially in Schiano’s case, it’s something that head coach Urban Meyer and the Buckeyes shouldn’t want any part of.
Jerry Sandusky ruined countless lives and was allowed to continue doing so because of people like Schiano who turned the other cheek for the sake of the almighty ‘W’.
It wasn’t so long ago that Ohio State was dealing with a scandal that truly rocked the university to its core. The Buckeyes had a major bowl victory vacated, were banned from playing in their conference championship and in any bowl games for a year, and witnessed the resignation of legendary coach Jim Tressel on top of having multiple star players suspended.
If Meyer had never come to Columbus, there’s no telling how far the scarlet and gray might’ve fallen.
Simply put, Schiano should be dismissed immediately from the team, as it would be in Ohio State’s best interests to completely dissociate itself from the disgraceful actions that went on over at their fellow Big Ten school.
Keeping him on the coaching staff isn’t an example of the Buckeyes standing by one of their own, it’s a show of support for someone who in all likelihood knew of the illegal, immoral acts taking place at Penn State, and did next to nothing about it.
Gerald Arthur Sandusky ruined countless lives and was allowed to continue doing so because of people like Schiano who turned the other cheek for the sake of the almighty ‘W’.
Why Ohio State would want a person like that to be a part of their program any longer is beyond me.

So let me get this straight. You think he should be fired because Person A (who has changed his story each time he testifies) said Person B told him Person C said something?
I heard someone said that someone said this website stinks. So it must be true.
