Local media? What exactly..

[Biopsyman]

What exactly does the local media do around here?
To this day we have no idea what the status is on John Currie. Has anyone from the local media questioned the UTAD on Currie's firing and buyout? Or, Butch's buyout and the fact that he seems to not be pursuing any coaching opportunities?
Are there any real journalists in this town? Or do they just sit around and wait for a press release?

It’s got to be awful to work in a dying industry like a newspaper

What are you talking about? He's suspended with pay while they determine if they can fire him for cause or will have to pay him the buyout. That story has been reported on ad nausem here locally. The lawyers are working on that one, there's no one to question on it until the general council's office renders a decision. No one else will comment because ANY comment could affect that situation.

Butch doesn't have to actively pursue a football job for a calendar year from the end of the season in which he was terminated to receive his full buyout, so there's nothing to report there. As long as his agent speaks to teams on his behalf before next December, he'll receive the full amount.

I get a daily email from KNS, "today's top 5 headlines", and yesterday it contained this nugget: Currie still collecting his 17k weekly salary. This is consistent with the limbo/"on leave" scenario while the Admin considers its options to terminate him.

I don’t really care. We got rid of them. Time to move on. TN has plenty of money if they do have to pay them. All I care is that we got a real football coach and Fulmer as our AD now.
