Greg Schiano is ticked off he has to answer questions about sharing Michigan's signs

About what you would expect from these hypocritical cowards. Greg Schiano refused to answer questions about sharing Michigan's signs with Purdue in his weekly presser. Didn't not deny it. But hilariously, he was outraged he even had to answer questions about it. Essentially played the card he was too busy preparing for Iowa this week to think about it:

“Look, I’m getting ready to go play the 22nd ranked team in the country at their place,” Schiano said, via NJ Advance Media. “They are 12-3 in their last 15 games, they’re 15-1 in the month of November (in the past four seasons). I’m very confident in the way we handle our business. I’m not going to get into specifics about something that is not my issue. This is not my issue. Let the people handle it whose issue it is.”

Then, Schiano dropped the hammer on the whole subject.

“I’m sticking to one thing: Iowa,” Schiano said. “I gave you my feelings on the whole subject. Quite frankly, I’m a little bit ticked off that we have to talk about this. This isn’t our problem.”

But I'm sure he was on that conference call with the commissioner crying like a baby for maximum sentence.

The question that should have been asked is - "Coach Schiano - have you stopped sending the signals you captured during games against Michigan to coaching staffs at other B1G programs?"

Sleep with the Buckeye mongrel you get the fleas. Tough shit! Don't collude and advance scout in a manner that violates competitive fairness. God, this fun.

You made your bed the minute you shared our signs, buddy. If what's being alleged about you is true, this IS your problem now, buddy. 

I have exactly zero sympathy for you.

Lol. Ticked off. So the whole league wants to absolutely throw Michigan under the bus over a fake crisis and now they're mad they're getting pulled in? FAFO

I think everyone needs to remember who kicked all this off and that's OSU. OSU and Day's PI buddies are the ones that foolishly tried to take advantage of a new Commissioner to take down Harbaugh. Schiano's probably in the "everyone steals signs" camp.

Heeey Greg how 'bout we get the major sporting news organizations to strongly suggest that you may be getting indefinitely suspended some day this week for some allegations that a) may or may not be based on any actual facts b) may or may not have actually involved you personally anyhow?

Would you be ticked off if you had to spend half the week anticipating whether you'll be suspended or not, if your lawyers can file an appeal fast enough or not?  Would that be an issue for you?

I don’t like whataboutism.    Based on existing evidence Michigan appears to have clearly violated a rule and doing so should involve some degree of consequences AFTER a full and complete investigation.   
 

Having said that some are either loudly or behind the scenes calling for Harbaugh’s head and in the process acting like they are holier than thou.  Once that line is crossed certain people and organizations invite scrutiny into their own actions.   That is what Schiano is apparently pissed off about.    Well, too bad.    You are one of those who made this bed.    Now you get to lie in it too.

There is no real evidence that CS was at that game, and many reasons to believe it was one of the two CMU staffers that look just like the guy on the sidelines and should, themselves, be on the sidelines.  And they both (and the photographed guy) have hair whereas Stalions shaves his head.

Occam's Razer tells us to be very skeptical of complex explanations when simple ones satisfy the question.

We'll have to fact check that, of course, Dreggy. Wouldn't want any defamatory statements spread nationally prior to the investigations completion. Best day since I retired. This is awesome.

Seems like it’s your issue since you did it too. But let’s not talk about it. Believe me, I’d love to not talk about it too but here we are.

This is great and all, but I’m honestly more interested in hearing from that fuckwit Walters. He sure had a lot to say about Michigan leading up to the game, and now, surprise, surprise. Now I understand he inherited this team, but we all know he was a big part of stealing signs at Illinois.

Actually, I need to create an account at OffTackleEmpire and find Beckham. Purdue slappy that bellyached about Michigan soooo much about their cheating with signs, and now lookie here 😂

Schiano is such a putz!  He always wanted to return to Penn State, but never got the chance.  He turned down the Michigan job to stay at Rutgers. He went to the NFL, which was disastrous for his career and ego.  Now back at Rutgers he is so focused upon trying to be relevant by getting a bid to the Pinstripe Bowl, he again shows what a putz he is.  The gulf between Rutgers and the best teams in the East remains vast.  When he gets a chance to prove differently (like last week when he settled for 3 field goals when in the red zone against Ohio State) he opts to try to lose y a small margin but gets his team killed anyway. Why he thought that helping Purdue beat Michigan last year was good for Rutgers would take a twisted mind to figure out.

Now he doesn't have the guts to even answer questions about how he may have violated the same rule he claims that Michigan is alleged to have broken.
