This is inexcusable. Title: Re: If this is the best John Currie can do... Post by: PirateVOL on November 26, 2017, 11:00:20 EST Curried is flat screwed no matter how this ends up.
If the hire goes through we have all seen the reaction. If the deal doesn't go through then he is a weak assed moron (well, given this potential hire that is a given) Why the hell the panic to make a hire today? That hasn't been answered to my knowledge and make no mistake this is a panic hire. He is as tone-deaf as when he had a hand in firing Fulmer Title: Re: If this is the best John Currie can do...

I am pretty sure this has been in the works a couple of weeks. It was a bad hire though, so I'm mostly just glad it didn't pan out. Title: Re: If this is the best John Currie can do...

Apparently, Currie's concept of "vetting" differs from my and other people's concept of sameAccording to Brice, Currie was informed of the PSU link within 24 hours of the MOU. Why the hell was that not discovered during his "vetting" process or is he really just a puppet for the HoH? Title: Re: If this is the best John Currie can do...

You mean like we did to Donnie Tyndall? :biggrin: Maybe with the poor and lack of leadership in Knoxville a search firm would have prevented this? Title: Re: If this is the best John Currie can do... Post by: 73Volgrad on November 27, 2017, 04:43:31 EST Whether true or not, a portion of the fan base sees Currie as Hamilton 2.0 controlled entirely by the athletic board, or committee, or what it is now called. A portion of the fan base (me included) believe that Chancellor Davenport was told that she could not hire Blackburn under any circumstance. So she had to establish some criteria that pretty much limited the pool and allowed her to select Currie because it pleased Big Money. True or not this is the impression and reality that some see.
Regardless of whether you personally like Currie or not, he is viewed as damaged goods to both sides now. His ability to operate as AD will continue to be hampered by his selection and not trying to defend it when the &%$# hit the fan. Currie may as well resign now because he cannot win now.

These are not bad points. However, note that the OP said "IF this is the best he can do...". Surely it is not! So he has a chance at redemption, no? And to paraphrase you, no matter what you think of him, the best thing for the program now is that he makes a good hire. The great majority of our fan base now has little confidence that he will do so (90% per a very non-scientific poll on VN), but it's still in the long term interest of the program to make a good hire. |
