First, Currie continues to show his incompetence in the people management side of being AD and hiring a coach. Brutal. This is actually making me think I'm glad he got oscar when he did, it might have been much worse.

2nd, those fans are crazy. It's like watching Nebraska fans on crack.

What we are left with is two scenarios and they probably intersect in some form or fashion:

John Currie is so incompetent or unaware of his environment that he decided not to get the approval from his boss before he presented Brohm with the terms.
OR
Beverly Davenport is a micromanaging, tone-deaf, and incompetent evaluator when it comes to a hiring a coach.

My money is on both. The Gruesome Twosome have absolutely derailed this program's chance of recovering any momentum back from a 4-8 season. Whatever it is - lack of communication, lack of experience, or simply lack of intelligence - this administration has shown in a very short time that they are unable to run this program at a high level.

Now the program is left scattered, viewed as a national laughingstock and a program that can't get out of its own way. At least we know where to place the blame.

I don't see how Davenport and Currie survive, but with Jimmy Haslam running things it would not surprise me to see them stick around. Haslam is a whole other story for another time.

I guess the bright side is the fact that we don't have to wait five years to find out how shitty these two would be at their jobs like we did with Butch. At this point, you have to wonder, if we would have known how bad these two were - would we have been so ready to fire Butch? It's a question worth asking, but hindsight is 20/20.

And now, as our eyes have been opened once again, we get the privilege of watching this program burn with perfect clarity.

Yeah, I wanted to say it, but it's nothing like it. Currie got what he wanted real quick and it was too late for us to complain. If you want to compare the Currie hate, that's fair, but I'd put it on the Chancellor today before Currie.

Remember this elongated fantrum started when butch didn't get fired quickly enough for their liking. Someone tried to orchestrate an empty seat protest at Neyland Stadium for the shitty late season noncon all those bubbas play. Some radio guy asked that people give his radio station unused tickets so disadvantaged families could go, they then protested that dude.

no. the fans want kiffin but currie hasn't contacted him. it seems that jc has gotten himself into quite the pickle. also, the ventriloquist doll face comment was pretty lol because he actually does kind of have a ventriloquist doll face. not sure how he was here all the time he was and not one of us ever noticed that.

Maybe Butch Jones would come back and coach them if they gave him a big enough raise.

That Blackburn guy had better reeeeeaally want to work at Tennessee. Everyone keeps saying no coach will want to walk into that situation, but what AD is going to want to walk into that mess either?
