OT: Tennessee AD Texts Leaked -- CFB Search & Hoke Highlights

Submitted by Kalamablue on

Thought this was too good to not share.  Former Tennessee AD, John Currie, had his text messages revealed during the tumultuous head coaching search at UT this past winter.

Highlights include Currie calling Vols fans "wackos", and most importantly, confirmation that Brady Hoke communicates in all caps.

Hoke highlights:

"JOHN I HOPE YOU DO KNOW I WOULD LIKE TO BE YOUR HEAD FOOTBALL COACH I DO KNOW THE ENVIRONMENT WE LIVE IN AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE AT TENNESSEE!" 

 

"JOHN VERY SORRY TO HEAR WHAT HAS HAPPENED THIS IS THE BULL CRAP THAT COLLEGE FOOTBALL HAS BECOME. IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP PLEASE LET ME KNOW." 

 

"JOHN I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN HARD DAVE BRANDON HAS GONE THRU THE MOB MENTALITY AS I HAVE IT MADE ME BETTER AND IT SUCKS.  WE ARE BEHIND YOU AND IF I CAN BE OF ANY HELP LET ME KNOW"

 

...Currie responded with "I'm sorry who is this"  to the last one.

Look, I get when your life revolves around doing just one thing(in this case coaching football) it's easy to let development in other areas slide and I still think Hoke is, at heart, a decent dude, but this is just further evidence he never really seemed to develop past trying to drink every beer in Muncie, IN.

Beilein: "Hey Brady, thanks for picking up the subs, but my order was for a turkey sub, not meatball"

Hoke:  "SORRY JOHN I WAS AWARE BUT NOT FULLY AWARE OF UR ORDER"

Beilein:  "No prob.  Also there's a sandwich place just down Stadium, you didn't have to go all the way to Dexter"

Hoke: "I WOULD WALK ALL THE WAY TO ZEEB ROAD TO GET SUBS FOR YOU"

Beilein: "That's crazy"
