Kansas State Football / Re: Can Vol fans get a wiki on why Currie is a horrible hire at Tennessee?

So, its been a super long time since I've posted anything, but I got some awesome nuggets from an A++ source about Currie recently.
Apparently, he was a huge dickhead to staff always. A story was told that Currie was known to berate employees behind closed doors constantly. One day, an athletics staff employee showed up to an event at the Alumni Center with the wrong brand of water bottle. Currie lost his crap. This was a closed door event.
Jerry Kill was, in fact, hired to be the go-between for Snyder and Currie. Snyder refused to speak with him directly, and wouldn't even acknowledge him directly in meetings. I can just picture Bill saying something to Jerry at a meeting and Jerry relaying it to Currie, who is also in the meeting like, "John, Bill wants you to know he still can't stand you" while Bill has a crap-eating grin on his face.
This all has probably been discussed, but I missed it here.
