Currie deserved to be fired after how he handled the Schiano situation. Currie for a couple of months of work might earn a $5.5 MM buyout.

Will Fulmer appoint himself Head Coach?

My money is that he’ll offer the job to Les Miles.

What a scuzzbucket. Fullmer was undermining the AD to get his job. Hope the same thing happens to him.

How did he mishandled it? Fulmer might have been orchestrated the whole thing. He deliberately damaged Tennesse football, to benefit himself.

Ah, the irony. A decade ago, the UT faithful couldn’t wait to run Fulmer out of Knoxville on a rail. Now, he’s coming back as their savior. Probably the best decision UT has made..in about 10 years.

I don’t think that many fans wanted Fulmer gone...it was mostly the local media and some idiot boosters....

Fulmer’s big donation to the school paid off big time. I’m through with the Volunteers. I hope they never win another game. And there’s a reason why they have to settle for loser coaches who think orange pants will make them winners. And whatever it is, the word is out.

And Spurrier is back at Florida, albeit not as AD, but I think he had something to say about this hire of Mullen.

Yep. Just like he put a knife in Johnny Majors’ back while he was recovering from heart surgery.

Also, Phil also has a history of sexual advances. He said to Jamie Naughwright, “You like big men?” During this age of Weinstein, Al Franken, Conyers, etc., Phil is the last person they should be hiring.
