KMAN said that Currie may have been in Gen Myers bomb sights because Currie wanting to leave was becoming a distraction.   They also said that Currie was regularly stirring up crap directly with student athletes ala many Jamar's, and that Currie is the sole reason Foster isn't at Kstate.

I'm not sure I can believe that part about Foster.  oscar seemed really happy to toss him under the bus, back over him, and drive off.

When Foster has publicly blamed himself, I'm not sure how that blame can be transferred from the player, completely over all of his coaches, to the athletic director.

It was entirely Currie's decision.  I never said Foster didn't do dumb things.

This would certainly indicate a change in narrative, I can't think of this as anything else other than another Brucexcuse. We've went from Currie allowing oscar to blow up the program to Currie forcing oscar to blow up the program and the only things that have changed are another shitty season from oscar and a new address for Currie, very convenient.
Fitz made reference to oscar being upset with Currie as well. It's funny that we didn't hear a word about this before February 28th, pretty obvious where this leak is coming from.

apparently two of the more hard to get along with coaches in their respective sports didn't get along with john currie (this is based upon second hand information). see the note about bill and john not saying hi to each other at church, for example.

as far as getting along with fans goes, people here hate him because frank martin left k-state, but 99% of our fan base hasn't thought twice about whether or not john currie is personable and don't care anything about the subject.  he was so unpersonable that they continued to throw money at him and the department

Quote from:  Jimmy Hyams

Currie had a tenuous relationship with some UT coaches and boosters when he was an assistant athletic director at Tennessee.

John Currie just has the worst luck.  Coaches that are hard to get along with are everywhere he goes.

coaches are hard to get along with, you are correct
the majority of them are controlling, power hungry, assholes

Hey scared of change 'clams.  It's an AD's rough ridin' job to know how to deal with coaches, and not create a constant shitty environment

We have more then enough information to know and say with high probability that John Currie likes to get into things, where he really doesn't belong.    To add to that, we can lend significant weight to the concept that John Currie is weirdly antagonistic.

based on some things that I somewhat recently heard, I do think there's a chance that marcus leaving was a currie thing and not a oscar thing. I personally don't care either way. neither have been or will ever be emaw.

Not that Foster leaving was a super significant event, but I'm willing to split blame for the situation between oscar and Currie as they're both walking through the door.

Who cares, blame them all, Currie is out, get oscar out too, and blame him for Foster if that helps us get him out.

I think part of Foster leaving had to do with him getting super stoned in his hotel room before a game @ Tech and posting pics of getting "lit" with Randolph on social media.  :dunno:

Well that is silly to me. If Phelps can smoke weed and own the Olympics, I don't want that ever be used as a detractor.

Yeah, that's fine, but it pushes your Athletic Department into a corner when you're posting it out to the masses.

Wasn't it just saying lit? I don't remember seeing anything incriminating in the photo. I'd say it warrants a talking to. But doesn't back anyone into a corner

I feel not getting invited to skills camps after his shitty season would have been a wake up call. Or getting whooped at them. Jmho

i'm sure foster was doing things that a division 1 scholarship athlete shouldn't be doing.  some schools may look the other way, i'm not sure we should have.

As talented as he was and as much as I would've liked to keep him, Foster probably needed to go.  That doesn't mean oscar should've got a free "restart" since he recruited him and wasn't able to manage him.
