Tennessee fan messages about failed Schiano hiring
Tennessee football fans let their AD know how mad they were about hiring Greg Schiano. The school just released thousands of those messages and other records about that coaching search.
http://www.espn.com/college-football/sto...ing-search
Quote:One person texted Currie "Your [sic] trash" for eight minutes straight before changing the message to "You're garbage."
Quote:One email to Tennessee chancellor Beverly Davenport and Currie began: "Dear Dumb and Dumber -- I'm sure you don't but do either one of you realize what an embarrassment you both are to this great university?" Another addressed Davenport as "Aunt Beverly," demanded she fire Currie and also that she return to Cincinnati, her previous stop as a university president. One email to Currie told him he "wouldn't last as long as Bama Dave," presumably a reference to former Tennessee athletic director Dave Hart, an Alabama alum. The same person wrote back hours later, telling Currie he was "already worse than yankee dave."
A Nov. 29 email to Davenport called Currie "A GYM TEACHER WITH A TIE ON" and said that the Schiano situation would cost Tennessee millions.

RE: Tennessee fan messages about failed Schiano hiring
That coaching search was literally sports history. It should be on 30:30. We may never see another one like it.
