So who is John Currie?

Yeah its a made up number but who cares. I was on these boards when he was let go and I remember nearly everyone here celebrating.

We havent been mediocre because he was fired. Weve been mediocre because we made 2 really bad hires after he was let go. CBJ has us in the right direction.

After the Wyoming loss was when the celebrations happened. That was proof positive to most on the fence that Fulmer needed to go.

But "we" didn't make those really bad hires, Hamilton did. He could have hired a Pee Wee Herman lookalike as coach who rode an orange bicycle to lead in the Vol Walk and looked less stupid.

Sure. Along those lines, should Hart have let Butch go given all those players transferring this year....especially those two 5 star players midseason? I know, they were just headcases while all the KState players were in the right and Martin was the nutjob, no?

Edit: also, let me guess. You buy that article on Martin after he left, it's all truth, no doubt. But the Travis Haney piece on discord within the Anderson complex regarding Butch was a smear, a hit piece, and nothing but lies.

Basketball has 13 scholarships. Football has 85. Really not a fair comparison. 4 basketball transfers is the equivalent of about 28 football transfers.

From what I gather, Martin was going to leave K St bc his players wanted to transfer and were tired of playing for Martin in a volatile situation were they would get cussed out for missing free throws and things of that nature. Currie reached out to Martin to no avail, Players then decided to contact Currie and tell him what had been going on. When those meetings ended, Currie knew the players didn't want to play for Martin and those who threatened transfer actually decided to stay if Martin departed. Currie then decided not to match usce offer. So he was looking out for the kids when no one else was. I admire that. Looks like he was gone either way. But I'm happy for Martin and South Carolina, looks like that split actually helped Martin evolve in his relationship with his players.
