Can Vol fans get a wiki on why Currie is a horrible hire at Tennessee?

[big orange]

If Fulmer wanted to be AD, why the eff didn't he do it in February??

He tried to. The admin said nah for Currie

Jimmy Haslam said no to Fulmer and Blackburn

This has been more entertaining than some of the games we've played this season.

I've crap on Currie a lot this week, but I think he's about 33% of the problem there.

The Haslams have been the problem for a long time. They hired Currie to be their puppet. Currie went rogue last night and nobody knew where he was.

The Fulmer-Majors and especially the Fulmer-Kiffin rift also plays into the coming hire. Highly doubtful that Kiffin gets a second chance if Fulmer is made AD.

Currie didnt go Rogue. He got called home by Bev and Haslam -- and Currie was quiet the whole way with his tail between his legs.
My prediction is Fulmer doesnt become AD, he just finds the next coach (if even that).

He went to LA and nobody knew where he was. I think he met with Leach and then came back. Fired at 9am this morning.

Would love it if new AD comes in and gets Gundy.

What if I told you the most powerful man in Knoxville wasn’t the most powerful man in Knoxville...

Yeah.  He had "forces" at work against him.

Mathews said recent speculation about Currie’s disdain for Fulmer was real. Mathews said that when Currie was an assistant AD at Tennessee about a decade ago, Currie told boosters that Fulmer “was ‘a portly person who didn’t know who his father was.’ You can kind of figure out the slang from all of that.”

The way basically everyone in this country loves America's team, the KSU Cats... will be the exact opposite of how this country now feels about UT, so easy to hate and cheer against.

Literally the ugliest, grossest, most annoying, smelliest teams/coaches/donors/fan base/town in the US.

Tee Martin will have to take that job and I'll feel real sorry for him.

[SkinnyBenny]

I feel 20 feet tall today!

[pissclams]

also I want a list of all the smug ksu bbsers who thought currie was good at being a big time athletic director. the dude didn't last a year at a school not named kansas state. completely and totally inept.

i'll go easier on you if you out yourself here in this thread. if I have dig around and find you all out on my own, it's going to be much, much worse for you.

I defended him while recognizing his shitty crap. 

[catastrophe]

This has been even more entertaining than I could have imagined. Now we just need a really good twist like Fuller hires Sciano or brings back Butch Jones for $8 million / year.

[Rage Against the McKee]

If Fulmer picks his coach like he did his players, his man is Art Briles.

Scott Tenorman!

[SkinnyBenny]

I’m on vacation right now without a computer. Can someone go over to.volsnation or volnation or whatever it is, and copy-paste some gems into this thread? Tia.

[Dr Rick Daris]

Better yet, somebody go to volnation and start a thread dropping a link to this thread.

[IPA4Me]

Can't post over there yet. Waiting on moderator approval.

There are a few JC sympathizers:

I've been lurking around this thread for a while now. There seems to be a lot of judgement being thrown around in here about TN fans. What's the deal?

some of us (myself included) were unimpressed with the flimsy pedophilia reasoning for criticizing the potential schiano hire.

You guys think you are Bama, but really you're more like Vanderbilt. Not sure what the confusion is 

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think the Tennessee fans as a whole are great.

Yeah. That was a lame excuse for the most part and anyone who reads past a headline gets it. Also, it’s hilarious how unrealistic and entitled Tennessee fans are acting. I mean, you’ve had the last THREE of your coaches (!!!) blow up in your face, yet you act like you deserve Bear Bryant. Btw, I never understood the Jon Gruden myopia, and a lot of people feel that way. I mean my god, the guy hasn’t even been a coach for over a decade.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I would be very unhappy if we ever hire anyone who worked for Joe Paterno. I wouldn't make statements like "Schiano covered child rape" but it would still be all but impossible for me to support him as coach at Kansas State, even if he had a better record as head coach.

yeah. I mean Schiano's next job sure as hell isn't gonna be as good as Tennessee. I'd be shocked if he can get a P5 HC job anywhere. Folks can blame UT fans all they want, but there's something there and they didn't just invent it.
