Brohm got counter-offered I thought by Purdue.

the report was that currie had a deal in place, went to the president and the president said "we're not paying a buyout for him"

I can buy that he's an undermined moron, but yes, he seems to be a moron no matter what here.

I guess we had proof from the first time Schiano was brought up. Oh wait, we had proof when he fired Frank Martin to hire Bruce Weber.

Much like this situation with Butch Jones, letting Frank Martin go was the right move at KState. The hiring on the other hand? Yikes.

Currie is like a pilot who is good at taking off and flying through the air, not so good at the landing part.

Well people joked (?) 100 pages ago after the Schiano offer that Currie should be fired and replaced with Fulmer. So I guess that's actually happening. But now the environment is so toxic, there's no way UT will hire someone competent now.

I'll give the Schiano crap a pass. The guy is known to be a toxic rear end in a top hat even before you add in he was at Penn State during the Sandusky years.

Leach is... are you loving serious?

I meant Brohm, who it sounds like was a done deal and then higher ups balked at his buyout.

Schiano was definitely a Haslam thing and I don’t blame that mess on Currie

Right, now I remember. Then when they gave Brohm the new offer he said to go pound sand.

Tennessee: If the Vols fired AD John Currie for cause they potentially owe him nothing. However, Jesse Simonton tweets, per his contract, if he is being fired for convenience, the Vols owe his $100,000 for each of the next 54 months (for those slow at math, that’s $5.4 million).
