If John Currie is a true KSU Wildcat, look for him to make an announcement shortly stating he has NO interest in the Tennessee job.

No way Currie would take a less prestigious job just to "Go Home".

Shultz immediately institute beer sales throughout WSU's stadium.  It wasn't just Shultz.  He just enabled the risk adverse accountant. 

Also, Tennessee has already had Currie on their campus.  I knew a girl who played VB there, then worked in the AD. When I said "O Yeah, our AD John Currie came from there" she rolled her eyes and said, "I'm glad he left UT, no one liked him."

this ^^^^
Last spring, the collegian was working on story about sportsmanship and Currie's office was a no comment.
When the story ran is was headlined "The Death of the K-State Family"
The next morning Currie's people called to set up meeting with Collegian staff to "get on the same page" with the Athletic Department........which is, of course a bunch of bullshit.....he is leaning on them because they got his attention.

Now, once a month he stops by for what he call an open-ended forum to field questions from the writers and editors........but the best part is that he never answers the questions, instead fires back the same old talking points of top research university by 2020 ect.

true story.....

I'm conflicted about ADJC leaving. He's the reason we have Oscar (good riddance), but he's Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men in keeping us from HC Sean Snyder (I want him on that wall, I need him on that wall).

But if he leaves, I'm 100% in favor of hiring Cheyenne Zulu away from ku just for the trolling value.

I think I want him here until right before Bill retires.  Let him get as much money/facility work done as possible without him putting some loser behind the football wheel. New guy (hopefully not a pud)  can come in,  fire oscar,  and hire both jobs.

Construction had begun prior to the 2012-2013 season, and therefore, planning & design & engineering as well as fundraising must have begun prior to the 2011-2012 season. And that was 5 years ago! I don't know why so many fans always want to discredit Currie's accomplishments? The amount of donations that KSU has received with an average record of 8-5 over the past 3 years since we won the Big 12 is quite good, IMO.

And I don't remember the Martin departure being messy. Martin was looking to leave for the 2nd straight year, and he finally found a taker. Then Weber won the Big 12 with the same team that Martin had finished 5th with the year before (minus Jamar Samuels too). I think KSU got the better end of that deal!

Is it an actual rule that the Big 12 enforces schools to schedule a P5 con-con opponent each season, or is it just suggested? If it is a rule, then I stand corrected, credit should not be given to Currie for that. But I will say that having a concert (since there was a road non-con game) was really smart! I read where it had 15,000-18,000 as the attendance...which is what you'd have in the Sprint Center in KC for a concert, or a football game in lawrence. And it was a great concert by the spectacular Zac Brown Band, some of the best performers that are out right now!

Cutcliffe is a damn good coach that just can't handle a high profile gig.  Put him somewhere with low expectations, and you'll get what he's doing at Duke.

Cutcliffe is a great coach, I'm not disagreeing with that. The QB is a freshman, so expect growing pains for Duke, offensively. He performed well against NC Central, but then played against Wake Forest and Northwestern. That QB will (in theory) get better eventually once he gets more experience.

He had a little mini tantrum when we settled for the field goal in the second quarter. He tried so hard to control himself but he showed outward negative emotion. Kynard then came over and gave him a huge hug that seemed to pep him up. Kynard's shoes were fire btw. Another sidenote but I saw the different black people give Currie full embrace, no side hug, last night.

It would be. But how much of the staff would Leavitt actually change? And with the wildcard of who is going to be the AD, how many times do you get the opportunity to hand pick who your successor is. Its a pretty good window here.

Good thing the UTenn search committee wanted to get this thing done before spring break or Currie might have got to stick us with Henson

Does Snyder take this opportunity to retire now? With his good friend as president they can work out a situation where he essentially gets to pick his successor. We all know who that is now waiting at Oregon with his out clause.

It would be awful timing with Spring ball so close. 

It would be. But how much of the staff would Leavitt actually change? And with the wildcard of who is going to be the AD, how many times do you get the opportunity to hand pick who your successor is. Its a pretty good window here.

Does Bill get a scenario any better for Sean to be interim HC?

Might be in place by spring game now, who knows.  Myers will let Bill do whatever he wants.

This is almost perfect for Bill.

Even if the other assistants don't want to work for Sean, what option do they have? Plus Sean inherits a good team. It would only be interim I think, but he'd get a test drive. If Bill is still serious about Sean for HC, his ideal window just opened.

I believe with all my heart that Bill has moved on from that misguided thought and Leavitt's Oregon contract is my proof I am clinging to

Do you think Snyder smiled for the 18th time in his life at this news? You think JC gave a courtesy call on the way out the door?

I'm sure he did. "Don't let the door hit your ass on the way out, John."

Fitz was on BITB today and said that it has been Leavitt all along.  Sean was just Bill's way of throwing jabs at Currie since he did not want to Sean to have the job.

I want to take a moment to thank MIR for also being a late night poster. I get bored sometimes and I can count on you.

Thank you MIR.

I'm pretty sure the "Sean for HC" movement was more manufactured by boards like this than anything else.  There is no indication Sean ever wanted the job, even if Bill thought he was the best candidate.

No worries. Rest well. Just have thought that for a while and wanted to say it.

True, Sean has never said anything to the media, just Bill.

Also, if either truly wants this, they should take a peek at Georgetown basketball and what happens to a program when this scenario doesn't work out. Ugly.

Fulmer has one of the biggest egos in Knoxville. Part of that may be true, but he mainly wanted his name in lights again. He is not happy.

It's the truth about his ego. In the time period from the 2001 SEC champ game loss to LSU through his firing in 2008, he used up a lot of political capital. There are a lot of people (prob majority) who wouldn't say a cross word about him, but there are quite a few who feel like his stubbornness in those later years was unnecessary and selfish.

I can also confirm. A friend's dad is a past president of the UT alumni association (during Fulmer's hey-day).Phil has worn out his welcome with the current generation of leadership around the university.
