This is more than just Phil taking over. This is a direct shot at the Haslams. Jimmy Truckstop tried to get Currie's assistant in and it got DENIED
quote:
The other choice considered to replace Currie per people on campus was Reid Sigmon, Currie’s No. 2 and chief lieutenant. Multiple sources said that Sigmon was backed by Jimmy Haslam while Fulmer possessed resounding support among other constituencies, including boosters John ‘Thunder’ Thornton and Charlie Anderson.
Some national reports are indicating Fulmer is in this position after refusing to help the UT search, and actively trying to sabotage it, but sources indicate to me that Fulmer only finds himself in this spot after Currie’s “lone wolf” approach and refusal to tap into Fulmer’s assistance during the search beyond some phone calls.

Oh, so the problem wasn't that it was a massive clusterfrick of toxic influence and dysfuntion. No no, the problem was that the one guy whose job it was to make the hire tried to make the hire by himself.
Baghdad Bob was better at his job than the dick-sucking Tennessee beat writers.
