After the fans revolted against Sexton-represented Schiano, Currie went straight to someone who dumped Sexton. Grundy. That cannot stand. Then he went to Brohm. Wtf, hes not represented by Sexton either! Who does Currie think he is? Mike Leach?! Ok - time for a change. Phil, reel one in for Jimmy
20 million buyout for schiano? Thats fraudulent imo and reeks of an under the table payment. The guy hasnt been a head coach in 5 years and no one else would hire him in that position and certainly not with that buyout
Yep, Phil is thick with Jimmy. I still crack up at people who think he's scored a coup on the Haslam family too, as if Bill doesn't have to approve decisions of his bosses. UT's budget and things like that.

Phil and Jimmy aren't "thick"
Fulmer isn't a Haslam yes man. This was a battle, not the war. I guess we will see how long the BoT, president, and Chancellor want to be associated with a man that got currie fired and destroyed his career, put a massive amount of pressure on them, is making threatening calls to legislators, and is likely looking at being prosecuted for federal crimes due to new evidence he knew of and participated in the rebate scandal. This may also push the NFL to force him to sell the Browns to distance themselves from him.
Does a flagship university want to be associated with that? Money is a powerful thing though
You do realize that a Haslam chairs the BOT, don't you? I know it is not the same one - but none the less - he does have a big say on things around UT due to it being a state run institution.
