"May?"You may be the stupidest person on the planet.
All the rj attacks make some threads unreadable. Just put him on ignore. Please.
In retrospect Bruce Weber has been a good hire.Interesting read from KSU and UT fans. Not a surprise that Currie was hated at each school he worked at.

Currie's reputation is that he is good at fundraising and building facilities and bad at managing coaching relationships and hiring new coaches.

John had Wake in his rearview mirror until events intervened. He is very ambitious which should work in our favor at least in the short run.
No it's not. At KSU he hired Bill Snyder and Bruce Weber - those were his only football and basketball hires. Snyder took KSU to #1 in the country and Bruce Weber took them to the elite 8.
He did not hire Snyder; Snyder had come back before Currie got the job
I thought Currie was hired in May 2009 and Snyder started coaching again in August 2009? Is that incorrect? Or was Snyder hired at the end of 2008? If I'm incorrect on the timeline, then Currie hired one major coach, Bruce Weber.
Snyder to attempt second 'miracle' turnaround for Kansas State
Nov 24, 2008
Associated Press
Snyder signed a five-year contract for a base salary of $250,000 and a total compensation of about $1.85 million annually, athletic director Bob Krause said. Krause said he had made no offers to anyone else.
"We anticipate he will coach as long as he is able to coach and is successful in coaching," he said.
Such was the case upon Currie’s departure from Manhattan. He excelled in financial matters, which played to his background in development. When it came to coaching transitions, though, Currie operated against fan sentiment.
In basketball, when then K-State AD Currie didn’t support men’s basketball Frank Martin strongly enough, the wildly popular coach left Manhattan for South Carolina. His replacement, Bruce Weber, was met with a tepid response.
Then there was the recent report, again from McMurphy, that Currie attempted to orchestrate Bill Snyder’s succession with a lucrative offer to former assistant Jim Leavitt as coach-in-waiting. Snyder said he offered Leavitt a job but said he was unaware of any succession plan.
One Kansas State beat reporter said that Currie’s relationship with the living coaching legend that is Bill Snyder. GoPowercat.com’s Ryan Wallace said this week on WKGN’s “The Drive” in Knoxville that Currie did not have a great relationship with Wildcats coach Bill Snyder.
“Over the course of the last several years, he and Bill Snyder did not see eye-to-eye on a lot of things.When you’re in a one-on-one conversation with Bill Snyder, as we’ve been told there has been numerous meetings between Bill Snyder and John Currie one-on-one, and they didn’t go very well very often. In one particular instance, Bill Snyder was getting up to leave the conversation and it wasn’t one that I guess was going well as far as he had seen. John Currie tells Bill Snyder to ‘sit his ass down,’ (and) that doesn’t really go over very well.”
