A Letter from John Currie: Nov. 12, 2017 - University of Tennessee Athletics

This afternoon at 5:00 p.m. ET, I will hold a press conference to discuss this transition. The press conference will be streamed live on UTsports.com so that you can follow along and stay up-to-date as it takes place. Complete video and a full transcript of the press conference will be available to view on-demand on UTsports.com for those who are unable to view it live.

To protect the integrity of our process, following the press conference I will have no further public comments until such time we announce our new coach. This search will be my sole focus and I will be in regular contact with Chancellor Davenport. Naturally, there will be great interest and speculation across the college football world. As I reminded our student-athletes when I met with them earlier today, unless you hear news directly from me, do not assume it to be accurate.

Not going to be a long search :)

SOON!!!!!

Jimmy will be indicted in the Pilot/FJ Manuel rebate scam. Testimony is damning so far and the star witnesses haven't testified. Another reason for UT to disengage from the Haslams.

Absolutely fake news. I’m close with a top attorney in Knoxville and he represented one of the big boys in this case. He didn’t even get indicted. Said they won’t even touch Haslam. 100% sure.
 
I bet Saban is like, "We are going to need you to toughen up big fella. Football is a grown man sport and we need you to play like a grown man. Let me see you do better this time."

Right. I see. Makes total sense. I can see Saban right now:

"Son, I want you to sit right down in that chair and pick up your pencil. I'm about to teach you how to be a man..."

Now I am mad that they fired Butch. It is clear that his methods are infallible.

The thing is.. that's not treating him like a grown man, that's childish, ego maniac, demeaning stuff. Butch did that for himself, not Helm.

You want to make a man? Make him accountable. If you think he is soft, tell him. Give him a path to make him stronger. Tell him what his weaknesses are, give him a path to fix it, and make sure he executes it.

And don't come at me with that snowflake ****. Im an Iraq vet that ran up to 60 guys on various missions.

You can even call him a pu$$y, but to do that in front of other is wrong.

Butch isn't a leader of men if he did things like that.

Haha! I’m too happy to even care. Let’s just enjoy this. No lies from me. How mad would you be if you woke up hungover to a text from your friend back in AD saying not looking good after he told you it was 100% last night??

FTR - I didnt think you were lying but had a feeling you were given misinformation... :hi:
 
With the reports of Butch calling recruits, doesn't sound like he knew this was coming. Sounds resentful.

I think he’s resentful because he thought he would get all year no matter what. He’s pissed and the real Butch Jones showed up.
 
I was chastised for bringing this very thing up a few weeks ago. I questioned the timing and postponement of BJ's firing, and how these could affect how Butch may sabotage UT.

No one listened to me......

If only we had listened to you, this all could have been averted.

Is anyone an ESPN insider? Just curious what the article says that talks about who the next coach at UT will be.
