Recruiting Forum Football Talk LVII

[butchna]

Currie saying in a text that Gundy pulled out “because of lousy academic commitment ”. Wonder what that means.

Oklahoma State’s practically Ivy League...and the alma mater of graduated laureate (and functionally illiterate) Dexter Manley.

 

[BigZiti09]

I dunno, sounds pretty plausible for our AD...

Goes without saying.

Bahama John!! I knew it from day one.

Viva la Fulmer!

 

[Brillovol]

Email from random dude in Huntsville to Fulmer ends with this:

I would have Earl call you but he's in Bali watching a volcano.

You can't make this **** up lol

Viva la Fulmer!

I was warned last summer by some KSU alums that he was a trash AD. I didn't want to believe it until midway through last season, but after that, I was basically sure he was going to make a bad hire.

To his credit, he managed to screw things up far beyond even my most dire prognostications.

Shows how clueless Currie is. He thinks we cared what Dan Wolken had to say.

Btw, for those interested, some more texts from Bahama John:

JHyams: Hey John, any updates on next coach?
JCurrie: Just finishing up paperwork with coach Brohm. Be announced this evening. You got exclusive.
JHyams: Thanks, John! Appreciate the info.
JCurrie: Hey, why don't you call ESPN and go ahead and get the PR train moving?
JHyams: Will do. Thanks again!


JCurrie: Dan?
DWolken: whats up, John?
JCurrie: Turn on ESPN and get ready to LOL

I cannot tell if this is blue font or not.

He has to be radioactive as far as college AD jobs now, right?

Well, I like to think that it's what actually happened.

For real!!! Dan Wolken is a vol bashing vandy grad memphian stooge.

We don't give 2 $#!+s what he thinks.

Dan Wolken telling me it is a good hire is just the kind of thing that lets me know it was a crap hire.

Woah now, I think they prefer to be called THE Oklahoma State University

THE STANFORD OF STILLWATER

Well it seemed plausible from BJ, so I really wasn't sure. Lol.

 

[Brillovol]

And for all you Johnny Majors conspiracy theorists out there...

No, there's no evidence in Fulmer's emails about him pulling a coup.

 

[jordan4vols]

Surely

He was pretty toxic when we hired him.

I hereby propose a VNRF motion that the gathering phrase "Meet me at the Waffle House" shall be amended as follows:

"Meet me at the Waffle House at 9 am."

Do I hear a second?

Fyp

 

[mrorange211]

This is the best thing to happen to Vols football since we switched to Nike.

Motion is on the floor. All in favor say “aye.”

Surely

I asked Shirley and she said surely also.
But Shirley is never right so you should surely use two grains of salt.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

This gonna be good.

 

[volatil]

Still can’t stop laughing at Ainge.

Please delete this after you read it 😂😂😂

 

[BigZiti09]

Did you see the Erik ainge tweets lol

???

 

[Brillovol]

I'll say this. Being a public employee isn't always gravy. Currie really messed the situation up, but I'm sure he was trying the best way he knew how. In the end, he lost his job for it. Emails from people like this are all too common for someone in the public eye, even if that public eye is a common, everyday job. Just one of the several this guy sent, and probably the tamest. Harsh, unproductive feedback like this is a waste of everyone's time. I'm not surprised though.
