Jan 23, 2017 at 17:04 comment added Geoff Robinson It is the case that if all absolutely irreducible representations of $G$ are one-dimensional, then $G/O_{p}(G)$ is an Abelian group of order prime to $p$, and Schur-Zassenhaus may indeed be applied directly. To see this, note that $O_{p}(G)$ is in the kernel of all absolutely irreducible characteristic $p$ representations while on the other, if $K$ s the intrestection of the kernel of all such irreducible representations, then $K$ is a $p$-group and $G/K$ is Abelian, so $G$ has a normal Sylow $p$-subgroup, which is then contained in $K$ as it is a normal $p$-subgroup.

Jan 23, 2017 at 14:42 comment added user103474 @ Geoff Robinson I know that Schur-Zassenhaus implies that N is complemented but I don't understand why in our case the commutator subgroup $G'$ should have order coprime to the order of $G/G'$.
Jan 23, 2017 at 14:27 comment added Geoff Robinson Read about the Schur-Zassenhaus theorem, which says that if $G$ is a finite group and $N \lhd G$ with ${\rm gcd}(|N|,[G:N]) =1,$ then $N$ is complemented in $G$. This was originally proved in the case that either $N$ or $G/N$ is solvable, which suffices for your situation ( given the Feit-Thompson theorem, it automatically follows that one of $N$ or $G/N$ is solvable when they have coprime orders, but that is not needed for your problem).
