Some interesting backstory on Fulmer/Currie, from March when both were candidates for UT AD:

http://gridironnow.com/inside-story-tennessee-hiring-john-currie/

...
* Phillip Fulmer moved his scheduled search committee interview from this Friday to this past Sunday.

* Fulmer got a call from a search committee member Monday morning, leading Fulmer to believe he had the job.

* Davenport didn’t want Fulmer because he didn’t have AD experience; she wanted someone with experience from a Power Five Conference.

* The search committee member that pushed for Currie was Jimmy Haslam.

* The search committee recommended Currie to Davenport, although the vote was not unanimous.

* Not all members of the search committee were aware that Currie was instrumental in having Fulmer fired in 2008 and didn’t know Currie and Fulmer have a strained relationship.

* Currie reached out to Fulmer through a phone message but Fulmer has not yet responded.

* One reason Fulmer pushed for the AD job is he didn’t want Currie to get it. ...

They have a thread about Bert being on campus that would be glorious.

Yeah, but it was a girl. In the South, so long as the victim doesn't die you're only in trouble if it's a boy.

Hello?

Oh, Hi Phil Fullmer, what can I do for you?

You want me to what?

You want me to work under your direction?

Well, yeah, but the Coach reports to you, right?

Yeah... No thanks. I don't think I want to work for someone who undermined his predecessor... Thanks for the call.
