I find it very difficult to believe that John Currie is doing this complete termination and hire of a FB coach in a vacuum or on his own.
The smart thing for UT to do would be to fire JC today, put his head out on a stake for the media to see -- and summarily blame the whole bumbling and fumbling affair on Currie.
UT Administration doesnt really seem to be able to get much of anything right over the past few years and the blame goes much deeper than JC (although he's not in any way blameless).
