John Fracking Currie and his line of bullshit

[MakeItRain]

More proof that he is greasing the skids to push Frank right the eff outta town.

How in the eff is he firing the damn Director of Ticketing to save money, does he plan on not having anyone run the ticket office?  If it was just about money why were these people fired 3+ months before their contracts were up?  Couldn't these people be fired in May when the athletics season is over for all intents and purposes?  Football renuals are coming soon and he fired the ticketing director.

I've heard the ticket lady sucked. No?

am I the only one who does not see the connection to rough ridin' over Frank? Any insight would be helpful...

I've never had a problem with her, but that's not the issue.  Did you read the article, he said the firing was not because of performance?  The issue is that he claims that it is a money decision, if this is the case then he isn't going to hire another ticketing director correct?  He fired the damn ticketing director right before NCAA Tournament ticketing and football renuals.  He fired her just before the busiest period in the office because of money although he still will be paying her to sit at home on her ass in this important time.  Would make sense if she sucked, he said she didn't.

He's full of crap folks

[Cire]

Who cares

He contradicted himself in his own release, confirming the reports that either he is stupid or full of crap.

eff did any of you read the damn article before commenting?  Too dense to see the obvious bullshit in the release?  Yes, lets trust Currie, he answers his email.

[doom]

Of course he's not going to give the actual reason he fired her if it's performance.

This is the obvious answer.

yes i read it. But i guess i dont have it out for the guy. But feel how ever you want and act like a douchebag.

Agreed, I guess, but if she sucked why issue a press release that states she didn't suck?  She ran the damn ticket office, no one would have cared.  Again the focus should be on Curries inability to shoot straight.

I have no issue "having it out for the guy."  He sucks and that won't change if he signs Frank.

[catsdo]

Eight people?  Damn.

it's kinda weird.

Clearly, this is the only response:

Ford is considering closing its Claycomo Auto Factory in North Kansas City.  The Claycomo Plant Manager's secretary's son was a Delt at K-State (which has since been closed - coincidence...).  That kid now grooms Kurt McGuffins dog who eats food purchased from the new Pet Smart in Manhattan.  The same pet store where Frank Martin bought his daughter's pet turtle.  And John Currie eats at the Little Apple Brewery every second tuesday of alternating months.  And so does Dalonte Hill.  So, John Currie is covertly trying to run Frank Martin out of town. 

   

[michigancat]

The eventual net savings will be approximately $310,00 annually.

What did Frank want, $400k?  We're almost there!  

[kcchiefdav]

FACT!...The economy is in shambles.
FACT!...State revenues are down.
FACT!...Decreased state revenues lead to lowered educational allocations
FACT!...Too many people were suckling the AD dept administrative teet
FACT!...Firing people saves money

[sonofdaxjones]

Look no further than the newest additions to the AD, look at what they do, and then look at the people who were let go.

This really isn't rocket surgery folks.

I do feel badly for one person who got canned . . . because I think it was solely because her boss got canned as well, and IMO he did her no favors . . . plus the previous regimes did these people no favors. 

[KITNfury]

I don't know why everyone is so butt-hurt about this.  My job is super slow and I might get laid off because of it. Secondly, I'm sure they can handle selling a few tickets to NCAA or whatever considering they're going to have to be able to do it w/o them in the future. Meanwhile, the people fired get to look for jobs while still being paid.

$300k added to Franks contract would probably be enough to make him happy

Shut up!  Step back from the computer and walk away now.

[Mikeyis4dcats]

this was a REORGANIZATION, which means these duties have been shifted to other personnel.

6 people lost jobs, 2 empty positions will go unfilled.

Curry is doing the responsible thing.

Good to see Cavello is gone, buyt I still wonder what the deal is with Epps.

Yep.  Same thing happened in my office recently, where they let go the Director of Sales who was pretty much a tiger shark simply because she made too much money.  Shifted a couple of people around and presto, instant savings (and more work for everybody!).   

[wabash909]

So, the athletic department you've taken over has just been fleeced by the tune of about $5 million by a corrupt former school president and his corrupt former athletic director, a former football coach, and the other former athletic director that was paid hush money to "go away" to Dallas to shuffle papers at the Big XII headquarters by the aforementioned corrupt former school president so he could replace him with the former athletic director.

You've got a basketball coach that needs a substantial raise and you're trying to fund a $20 million practice facility.

Yeah, I can think of a few reasons you may be wanting to take 300K in annual salary off the books right now, and none of them have to do with greasing the skids to push Frank Martin out the door right now.
