Can Vol fans get a wiki on why Currie is a horrible hire at Tennessee?

Should definitely go in the wiki.

Currie leaves and UT goes out of control. Sad.

Well, UT fired their chancellor today.  Apparently, she could not overcome the Currie hire.

Wrong: it was because of poor communications skills. Better get her a sweet landing spot at the communications department.


(the speculation is that she was canned because she went against Gov Haslam's plan to outsource/privatize maintenance and janitorial jobs at UT.)

The article I read said Currie, non-privatizing of jobs, and going to an LGBTQ event.  Basically, Currie and not being Republican enough.

I can't believe how shitty the letter is that was released to the public though, particularly when you're supposedly keeping her on staff.

Somewhere, John Currie is smiling

Phillip Fulmer is retiring as Vols athletics director. His departure is not tied to the investigation that led to Jeremy Pruitt's firing. https://t.co/sAtDc7UGR8

Serves Tennessee, fans & admin, right for that last crap show of a search. Phil Fulmer has always been a dickbag.

[Shooter Jones]

So Pruitt has the same lawyer Beatty had and sounds like Tenn will be trying to get out of any money owed in the contract like KU did, should be fun to follow.

"Tennessee put cash in McDonald's bags to hand out to recruits on visits."

LOL. Very jelly

[MadCat]

Don't eat all your McDonald's in one place, y'hear?

LOL. Very jelly

Why? They did that crap and are still and have been horrible, by any standard. I'd be furious if we were cheating and that's the end result.

[sonofdaxjones]

Only the stupidest kind of stupid cheats in that fashion.

Clearly they don't have a network of (non McDonald's) bag men like most of the SEC schools that are any good do.

The smart schools have a standard of deniability that is awe inspiring.   Payments to recruits are never handled by anyone on the coaching staff, few on the coaching staff even know the full details.

Because they're trying? I like effort. And it's resulted in Top 10-20 classes every year, add a couple pieces and the right coach can win big right away.

They're going to go on probation tho.

Yeah, most likely.

Do we have a thread about violations? Seems like the SEC would be at the top, but also aren't we weirdly high up on the penalized list?

Should be try and purchase...er... I mean recruit and use any of those guys?



Also, straight from that article,

I long for the day when Tennessee will simply not be the laughingstock of college football. Unfortunately, that day is not today.

Vols fans, trust us from watching little brother to the east of us. It could get much much worse.
