-Just spotted Butch and Coach Majors in the house.
-Bob Kesling just took the podium and introduced Davenport.
-She notes it's her 10th day on the job.
-Thanks Dave Hart.
-"I wanted a sitting AD at a power five school. These are complex jobs. Experience matters."
-Davenport said if she was told if she did anything that people didn't like, just say you love Petyon Manning. "I love Peyton Manning," she said.
-Currie is honest, transparent and high energy.
-He's not afraid of a challenge and possesses strong leadership skills.
-He served me in an orange glass. He had orange all over his house. He clearly loves Tennessee, Davenport said.

..Currie to the podium

-Currie spending a lot of time looking down, reading from his notes.
-Talked about what he learned from Coach Dickey.
-Said he carried Neyland's maxims with him when he left here.

..Kesling back on stage

-Currie: There are so many people in this room that raised me. Keep coaching me up.
-Davenport says Currie is a known commodity, nationally.

I know it was quick since she arrived, but to say the process was quick is ridiculous. Anyways, she did a great job. I'm glad she picked fun at herself and got the "for" right in "I Will Give My All For Tennessee Today."

Interesting that he mentioned Coach Fulmer and Coach Snyder. They both hate the guy.

The Fulmer part was definitely trying to apease those who wanted him to lead the good ole boy brigade
