Tennessee on Thursday announced a $2.5 million separation agreement with former athletic director John Currie. But that's not all.
The school also pulled back the curtain on one of the wildest and most dysfunctional coaching searches in college football history. Tennessee released thousands of pages of correspondence surrounding its football coach search between university leaders, coaching agents and Vol fans, who played a much bigger role than most fan bases during the search process. The document dump includes phone records, emails and text messages, especially during the final week of November, which began with an agreement to name Greg Schiano as Tennessee's next coach and ended with Currie out of a job.
