There's like 3 or 4 straight pages that are basically just transcripts of this big group chat featuring a bunch of friends who must've looped Currie in for fun. Mostly they're talking about how Domino's had 50% off delivery that day, and how a random Pizza Hut pizza showed up at their door, then they're debating whether or not there's an engagement ring hidden in the stuffed crust, then it hops to this:

I disagree. As his university and entire life crumbled around him, as the student body at his school was chanting "Fire Currie" at a basketball home game, one hero in that text chain did him a favor from afar by keeping him abreast of pertinent issues:

The Vols signed Uncle Rico to a multiyear contract. $18,500 a year plus deluxe grand caravan and year supply of Omaha steaks!

This one I just had to screenshot. Apparently someone signed him up for a service that texts you daily sexy Christmas messages.

Damn. Right after Currie gets fired and there are a million texts taunting him, there's this:

The very last text on 643 pages of transcripts just says this:

Ok. So. I finished reading (skimming) the gigantic record of his texts from Phone #1, which he turned off (and eventually replaced) when Clay Travis leaked his phone number and the wackos went nuts at the Schiano hire.

The log from his second phone (the replacement) is much, much shorter and presented in a much more readable format.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ojyeg96gwsqfml0/AABTaH8am8iLi7BD_G8y91i9a?dl=0&preview=JOHN+CURRIE+TEXTS+(2ND+PHONE).pdf

Nothing too interesting until page 19, which is where he start texting with the pilot of the charter jet that he was using to fly all around the country to interview people like Gundy, Leach, etc. He's telling the pilot of the new plans but urging him to not file the flight plan reports until after they've landed or whatever. Mr. Currie I think maybe the FAA would see this as a big deal, maybe even big enough that you should get suspended for your tourney game against Syracuse.

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #1342 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:12:04 PM »

go to page 35

Ooooh I think I got to some of the good stuff. Pretty sure this is what I'm reading right now:

Currie heads off on a cross-country flight to court Leach (a flight that doesn't have wifi) without telling his boss Beverly Davenport, she frantically tries to get in touch with him (through Reid Sigmon) to figure out wtf is going on, he doesn't answer for 6 hours, and Davenport gets pissed at Currie for going rogue without her permission. She got no updates because he couldn't text/email her from the air.

When she finally figures out what happened, she gets in touch with him while he's in L.A. and tells him to fly back immediately, where she promptly fires his ass. (Figuratively)

SkinnyBenny · « **Reply #1343 on:** March 30, 2018, 11:20:33 PM »

Okay so it turned out to not be all that juicy in the following pages, because lots was redacted or just didn't show up for whatever reason.

But after the news broke that Currie had been fired, there were a lot of heartfelt, sympathetic messages that people from the department texted him. And then, always drunk and loud Brady Hoke texted him this:

After Currie announced they wouldn't be hiring Schiano after all, and he released a statement thanking fans for their patience:

Whose patience? Nobody is patient! Quit shopping at Big Lots for a coach and go to Nordstrom! We deserve a greatcoach not a third or fourth tier leftover. You had better make a great hire and do it yesterday or your career is over! Cutliff is a great person but not enough!
