Booster coup apparently didnt work
Our fans need to continue lighting up the switchboard in the UT President's Executive Assistant's Office (Mr. Golden). Have what you want to say prepared and in order. Simply tell them:
1) You are tired of John Currie's bungling of the search for a new head football coach.
2) He did not properly vet Greg Schiano for the position as he has said, otherwise he would have known that players and coaches on both the NFL and college levels have reported that Schiano is very difficult to work with due to his abrasive nature, and that he is abusive to players.
3) You feel that John Currie has lost the confidence of the fan base long ago and feat that he has reached the point where there is no hope of that relationship being repaired.
4) You feel that John Currie does not listen to the fan base, but only certain big money boosters. He has forgotten that it is the everyday fans who fill Neyland on Saturdays, buy the concessions, and purchase the UT licensed merchandise, making UT football revenue the # 2 college football revenue program in the country.
4) Therefore, you feel that John Currie needs to be asked to resign as Athletic Director, effective immediately, and allow Philip Fulmer and Peyton Manning to complete the search for the new football coach, with Philip Fulmer fulfilling the duties as Acting Athletic Director until a new Athletic Director is hired.
5) Also, Beverly Davenport needs to be replaced as Chancellor due to the fact that she hired John Curry, she has received many complaints regarding his incompetence, yet she refuses to take corrective action. It has been stated by many sources that she does what a certain big money booster wants done regarding the athletics program whether it it is in the best interest of the program or not.
This is essentially what I told Mr. Golden's Secretary yesterday, and she told me that they are taking notes of all calls, and that Mr. Golden, the UT President, and the Board are taking these calls very seriously. She asked for my name and phone number and thanked me for being so nice over the phone. She also told me that that they have received tons of calls are expecting many more.
Lets keep that phone ringing off the hook VOLS fans!
Phone #
865-974-2241 They honestly want us to call and tell them what our problem is with the Athletic Department, the Greg Schiano fiasco, Chancellor, etc...
She said, "We know there are problems, but we cannot begin to fix the them if no one tells us what the root issues are."
