She didn’t fall on any sword, she was part of the Haslam cabal that brought Currie in to be AD in the first place. She was a Haslam mouthpiece and when her boy Currie failed, when he went rogue she had no choice but to fire him and, very reluctantly, bring Fulmer in. Fortunately for Tennessee, she was soon after shown the door as well.Davenport fell on the sword for the entire football program saying without saying fk the Haslams
Fulmer carried the torch after her dismissal.
John Currie is a higher level snake oil salesmen
Agree wholeheartedly. She was incompetent while also being condescending ..... bad combo. Just an awful hire.Never understood how Davenport got the job. I felt uncomfortable listening her press conferences as she appeared nervous and/or lacked public speaking skills for someone for that position. She was definitely a stretch hire for our university.
Soooooo......how much longer till the season starts? (Off season threads are in full swing)
...for all of our recent wins!
Think about it, if he doesn't epically muck up that whole coaching hire we don't bring back Fulmer and hire Pruitt.
We probably would've had to settle for some C level coach who only had possible head coaching experience going for them, like that dude from North Carolina State or Leach
I mean it's not like Pruitt was at the top of our list, or anybody else's list, at the time.
So thanks for failing at your job John!

He made us a national laughingstock. Why would thank him for anything? If he hadn’t been removed we’d have had leach as our coach. And while leach has proven to be an excellent offensive coach he definitely wasn’t the guy for the type of scrutiny and patience that this rebuild requires. He also won’t prove to be that great of a recruiter I believe. I do think leach will do well at ms state. They are going to have to settle for mostly 3 star/lower tier in state and regional kids. But he’ll get the most out of them. TN is a program that with the right leadership in place...can get into that top 10-5 recruiting class range. Hopefully we’re on our way
So Leach is an exlcellent offensive coach and can find diamonds in the rough... and coah them up. And that's a bad thing?
Hiring the San Francisco man hater, bugger picking Jimmy Cheek, and slick shoe salesman Hamilton greased the skids downward for athletics. These people had zero interest in winning championships. Currie, Davenport and Jones were just extensions of the incompetence in the administration. Fulmer warned about not getting administration support during his demise and I took it as his excuse for losing. But his words make more sense looking back and our present athletic progress. We have had to endure Butch, Donnie, Konzo, Holly and other losers during this period. I hope we are in for better times.
