Tennessee fired their ATHLETIC DIRECTOR. Omg, Vols.
Some great, fun writing on this:
Where does Tennessee go now?
eHarmony? Tinder for coaches? Maybe a temp service? Hell and back?
Tennessee athletic director John Currie was canned. It was quick, kind of expected, and, really, just another blip in what’s been a teeth-grinding shitshow for the folks in Knoxville and a comical treasure trove for everyone else.
Currie’s time in Knoxville was brief—he was hired in February—but in those fleeting months, he presided over one of the more inept and hilarious coaching searches of any that’s been seen at any (formerly) major program in the past 10 years. Currie went into the winter tasked with finding a replacement for head coach Butch Jones. He started his quest by hiring mediocre lunatic Greg Schiano, a decision he quickly reversed... ------ Good stuff. UT is having a nervous breakdown and committing suicide. Schadenfreude.
