Is Texas going to hire John Currie?

Georgia Tech just opened up.

I have a hard time seeing Currie leaving for Georgia Tech.

really?  He grew up in the heart of ACC country and GT is around the 4th or 5th best job and probably the most nut fry free job in that conference.

Hmmm...

Imagine if you will...the facilities in Austin with John Currie controlling Texas' checkbook.

There is a lot of things in that article to digest and the Currie thing isn't even at the top, if Luck wants back into a college athletic department, the job is his.

I was wondering if someone was going to take a run at Herman for hiring his buddy to be the OC who just got shut out in the biggest game of the year. What the hell is that? Also Tillman Fertitta is a rough ridin' idiot if he really thinks the other schools in this conference would take Houston against what's potentially best for them because Fenves had to stroke the tiny little egos of Houston people in Austin. If there is one thing we learned in 2016 it has to be how small time the people running the University of Houston are. We dodged a major bullet keeping them out.

I have never been a Texas hater.  John Currie at Texas might change that.  He'd eff us in every imaginable way, I promise you.

Prolly lots of ways,  but I can't think of one way an AD of UT can screw KSU.

In 2009 I sat in an auction for a restaurant chain located in Southern Cal (Claim Jumper) which Tilman and his team won. The auction itself lasted all day and had I think 4 bidders. The final winning bid was somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 million.

The day before the auction, Tilman showed up at my office trying to cut a deal prior to going through the auction. My side and his side were sitting across the table from each other and he was bullshitting us about other bidders not showing up for the auction when all of the sudden his phone rings. He stands up to answer and is saying "oh? Oh realy? well good news for us." and then sits back down. Amazingly he happened to get a call right when he was meeting with us. He proceeds to tell me and my team that the last bidder just decided they didn't want the restaurant chain and we should take his deal because if not, he wasn't showing up tomorrow at the auction. We politely declined and choose to have the auction. All 4 bidders showed up and he eventually paid the aforementioned $60 mil.

His bid the day before? $28 million.

Reno should make one for them.

They've courted Oliver Luck for a long, long time.  It's hard to imagine that not coming to fruition at some point, especially if they consolidated everything into a VP sort of role.

I don't think Currie has the ability to run an organization of that size and scope with his personality.  He's a good plant manager, but he's not a CEO.

Outside of leaving the conference?  Not really.  And UT nor JC would would do anything like that to spite KSU.
