Pretty much don't know what it takes to be a good AD.
Very undersized and Darren Sproles-like, IMO. Looks like he has good hips on film (<--verified by former HS football assistant coach)

Does he like to cheat?
I think he was on the committee that hired Lane Kiffin. Thoughts?

"You've got to play some 'guarantee' games," said Currie, referring to the practice of guaranteeing a lesser team a payday in exchange for a home game that likely will result in a victory. "But when you play games against teams with RPIs in the 300s or the 270s or 280s, they don't help your team get better because your guys see it as a night off. And they really hurt you so bad in the RPI and in getting ready for the season in general that we want to stay away from them.
Not too many high-major programs are willing to go to a team from a mid-major conference and play a true road game, but our guys are willing to do it ... Our guys are going to have to go on the road eight times in the SEC and play in tough places. Why not get ready for that? — Tennessee associate athletic director John Currie "If we're going to play a team from a mid-major or low-major conference, rather than getting the team that finished 10th, [we try to] get the team that finished first, second or third."

I think he's plenty basketbally.
Currie, a 1993 graduate of Wake Forest, has been at Tennessee since 2000. He helps supervise development, marketing, ticketing and men’s basketball.
I never comment on here, but I have been a UT football fan for my whole life until this year. If this man is anything like UT's current AD Mike Hamilton, then we are all in for a very rough ride. I pray for all the EMAWers out there that this guy is the exact opposite.

Elaborate?
i'd like to have an AD who has the balls to fire a worn out old coach. Fulmer isn't some f'ing angel; he fired a bunch of assistants to save his own ass.
the general malaise of emaw'rs pretty much disproves your point. comparing the pressures and expectations levied on the UT AD to just about anywhere is stupid.I never comment on here, but I have been a UT football fan for my whole life until this year.

Mike Hamilton has fired the baseball, basketball, and football coach in his stay at UT. The baseball coach was a solid coach with a winning past, but just a couple mediocre years did him in in Hamilton's eyes. Obviously the bball program wasnt going anywhere, and they hired Pearl. Pearl has been solid in the regular season, but he hasnt done jack crap in the NCAA's. Everybody loves the hire and such in UT country, but what has he really down outside of dominating the SEC in some pathetically down years. As for the football program, he went behind Fulmer's back on his word multiple times (not just this past year). Fulmer didn't even feel like he could trust him to stand up for him. Just several weeks before Fulmer was forced to resign, Hamilton gave him his word that he would at least finish the season without getting canned. I know Fulmer had gotten stale, but the program was starting to turn with a stud defense, and was a qb and a couple recievers shy of being a 4 loss team last year. Hamilton turned on Fulmer rather than keeping his word, and therefore I have no reason to trust him, especially with the desperate hire of Lane Kiffin.
I could go on a lot longer, but I will just get more pissed about Hamilton. If this guy is not like Hamilton, then I am not worried. If he is his best friend, I am scarred sh*tless.
actually kind of excited to see the two new hires go to work. also, we really need to credit Chris Merriewether w/ the hire
We can only hope that Currie embraces our old timey roll up the sleeves, we'll just outwork you because we can't outspend you, unique K-State cultural values.
Former AD Tim Weiser established quite the legacy in this department. John's definitely got some big shoes to fill.

pearle is the perfect example in the argument between being a good in game coach or being a good recruiter. he is a good recruiter but a poor in-game coach, see wsu vs ut in the ncaa tournament.

What's his 40 and 100 time Rex??
Seems like a dece hire. I mean Tennessee has been way more successful than KSU in everything the past 10 years so I don't see how things could get worse with this d00d :dunno:
Seems leaps and bounds better than hiring some jackass from SDSU or any other guy from a mid-major just because he went here.

"What would you say you do here?"
-- it's like Currie and Krause aren't even the same species.
He's basically like the equivalent of Scott Pioli in the assistant athetlic directors world.:hope:
Homerun hire.
Pretty much don't know what it takes to be a good AD.
When do we start worrying about other universities taking him?
In this scenario, particularly if it happens after one year, who do we get to whine/cry during a press conference?When do we start worrying about other universities taking him?
When Wake Forest fires their guy? :dunno:

it's alright for phil to have coaches "resign" and "leave" after one bad season, but it's not okay for hamilton to fire fulmer for multiple bad seasons? gmafb. first, I don't really care or mind fulmer asking coaches to leave, snyder should have done the same thing, only i wouldn't feel bad for snyder if after he made those changes and they still didn't work out, he got canned.
im not trying to start fights here, I just want to inform. But I really dont appreciate the blasting of my comments. I usually only read this site for the bball recruiting updates. If this is the way things are handled here, especially like PissClams, then I just won't provide info. I just wanted to say I hope this guy is not like Hamilton. If that is the case, great for us. Hamilton is just a low life scum sucking dog and if anyone likes him, they need to get their head examined.

That season UT was lucky to be 5-6. Their offensive staff was an absolute joke starting with Randy Sanders. If you would read like you should have, I was stating that I disliked Hamilton b/c he lied multiple times to Fulmer and was always making moves behind his back. It has nothing to do with Phil getting stale like I sad. Fired was definitely a likelihood (warranted) but the process was an absolute joke. You do not understand or know the facts.

Should prolly write in a goal that doesn't come so naturally to us in the first place. imoWhen do we start worrying about other universities taking him?
right after the first Texas win
BTW, I wonder how many Texas wins were required in his contract?
